lyrics

Are you happy?
Or are you pretending? 
How much will you swallow
before your stomach bleeds?

The lump in my abdomen 
gets bigger every day.
It’s a kink in a garden hose,
a clogged kitchen sink,
broken garbage disposal. 

Are you getting all tangled up
inside the weeds that
scale the home and constrict your blood
like a large carnivorous snake?

(Pica)
I wouldn't follow
advice from the lesser-wise
but i will swallow
you down to the shoes every time.
(Python)

In the weeds, strangle me
In the weeds, strangle me
(Are you getting all tangled up
inside the weeds?) 

Are you afraid of sinking in
too deep to climb back out?
Went to bed with a stranger,
woke up five years later 
the beat never stopped but you lost the count.

How long until the drywall comes tumbling down in the rain?
How long until the sadness overwhelms our tiny reptile brains? 
What is waiting for us at the end of our numbered days
but maternity centers, custody hearings
nursing homes, marble graves? 

Are you ready to settle down?
Already feeling tied down?
(Twist and turn in my sleep, strangle me while I eat,
why can't you free me?)

You can’t climb back out 
The clock keeps spinning 'round 
The beat never slows down
but you, 
you lost the count.

about

Telyscopes image

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."
