lyrics

we were walking, softly talking
belmont and thirteenth 
as the jets punched out a beating drum
shook the earth and killed the silence 
couples ran down driveways in surprise
children cried, animals howled, sirens screamed 

black smoke billowing thick and salacious
from the cracks in your teeth
chewing rags and spitting back into
a panicked camera crew and through
the grainy screens of a million streets---
where a canyon forms
and rips apart the young and old of every color 

we never became who we wanted to be when we were younger 
sucked into 
a jet and spewed back out into
circumstances out of our control and realization
eyes are closed, head held low, 
an innocent man walks death row

we are close types
we are style scopes
living inside a burning home

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."
