There's no coming back around from 86,
no plot twists,
There won't be sequel, prequel, greatest hits,
remastered bonus disc
No cryptic images hidden in Kubrick scenes,
visual effects
Netflix mini-series, investigative analysts,
deleted texts
You’ll be wandering these sands
starving for purpose and truth
until the devil hand's you bread
takes control.
When your o-ring erodes
and your fuel-tank explodes
with an aurora of smoke
(on CNN, watching the fire spiral
reaching down like long white fingers)
Searching up and down the brown florida coast
to find a ghost
of fleeting youth, walked out on you, left a residue
hair on your pillow.
In dreams old faces greet you
but in sun you stumble aimlessly
until quicksand enfolds
taking hold.
When your o-ring erodes
and your fuel-tank explodes
with an aurora of smoke
crying “believe me, god, i’ve done the best i can”
dusty polaroids wave in shaking hands
say, “open up the womb’s tomb, momma
look out, here comes the killing moon”
...
Spring rain, come down hard, feed the moss
where our fragments came home that day
dredged up, wrapped in old glory.
A chrysalis for the century's metamorphosis,
a time capsule under decaying streets,
where the ghost band still plays taps—
Let the children sing along.
There is no school today and
there is no air in space.

"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."

A romantic and haunting ambient record feels like a pastel version of Dungeon Synth or a dime store "Twin Peaks" soundtrack. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 8, 2021
