lyrics

There's no reason to be alarmed,
it's only a low grade panic
attack - passing out with the oven on
and candles burning
inches from foam insulation in the attic above my room
in a single family home where i live with two friends,
twelve strangers and several stray
cats, no one washes dishes, takes out trash
animals piss all over the
place is falling down from neglect.

Smelling like a year old tuna can, rum bottles displaced around the
fireplace sprinkled in cigarette ash, leaking out onto a pubic-carpet
so dense with fleas they look like stockings
crawling up your arms and legs with diseases in a syringe,
full bottles of piss left by a
dead man, rotten egg
dead man, rotten egg

Lights just went off someone mustuv' forgot to pay
the electric bill again...

Alice sleeps on the sofa with a slew of men all born from incest
who drag their muddy boots around the house, tearing up the lawn
with pick-em-up trucks, dripping antifreeze
one cat laps it up and goes to sleep
rigor mortis in the kitchen,
eyes full of maggots,
he's a dead man, rotten egg
dead man, rotten egg
dead man, rotten egg
dead man, rotten egg

If you're trying to sound like Trent Reznor
will you switch to headphones past midnight?

Because
this house is shaking down.
"Your sub just knocked my picture frames straight off the wall"
This house is rockin' down
"my bed-frame vibrates through the floor,
I have work in five hours."

Call me crazy, I'm a psycho,
I can hear you from the driveway
it's Halloween and there's a full moon lighting uneven roads.
I'll drive myself-to-sleep singing warm-ups with a toy piano
while my next house and the next
burn down in my sleep.

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."
