lyrics

wilmington on friday night
drank old crow until dawn
murphy's dogs wouldn't let us sleep
and there was sand all over my fucking car

i had never seen the south before
and i've seen enough of it now
we laughed to death, we smoked to death
we sang to death and we went to bed

when it goes
there won't be a single thing left of you
when it's gone
nothing can ever replace
all of your damaged DNA

i stole your lighter and played your songs
and i pushed you in the dirt
i hope you never let your babies listen
to nothings or listen to anything

i was the king of nothing
my hair thinned on the crown
woke up five years later with ocean
water rushing over my head
another year another drop
it never slows down
it never stops

when it goes
it'll go with every piece you had
when it's gone
time is real estate you can't buy back
when it goes
nothing can ever replace
it's just damaged DNA

about

Telyscopes Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

"Since 2012, Telyscopes has molted through one reinvention after another--shedding layers of lo-fi psychedelia, chamber pop, jazz, and electronica like cocoons as the project grows more legs, prettier wings, or sharper mandibles. The lifeblood remains the same: offbeat lyrics and striking melodies. Often ingenious--never typical."
