about

Inspired by the many works of Frida Kahlo, but if i had to be specific: My Birth, The Dream (The Bed), Henry Ford Hospital (The Flying Bed), or The Broken Column would all make solid visual accompaniments for this song.

lyrics

She's been lying in bed for nearly a year
Inside a snow globe atmosphere
Death grins high above the canopy shade
No one can claim and tame this plague,
and she says
I won't come down for nobody
I won't come down

Mold grows over the sheets placenta was spread
Hip bones that crushed the fetus's head
Blue sky lavender factory bellow below
Smoke rings that signal things to which we may not know in this life
I won't come down for nobody
I won't come down

Deer runs through trees bleeds arrow holes
Dead on the leaves leave food for wolves

Maybe the sun will come out,
the wind will die down,
and you won't blow away.

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."
