lyrics

white car coasting up the driveway
sleep another year
early sunday funeral procession
sleep another year
i have inherited nothing but madness and baldness and sadness and years and years
next week I'll be seventeen and I'll sleep another year
i had to roll when i found out
i hit the bottom and climbed back out
now the poster child is dead
i am the patron saint of lying in bed

how does it feel to be under the wing of something bigger than yourself?
it's a bird stealing food from a beggars mouth,
the rich get richer and hollow us out
i have inherited nothing but madness and baldness and sadness and years and years
next week I'll be twenty three and years and years and years and years and
i had to roll when i found out
i hit the bottom and climbed back out
and now the poster boy has said
i am the patron saint of early death

will you ever learn?
you forget so easily

how does it feel to be under the wing of something bigger than yourself?
jesus christ is a broken mirror
i only want to see myself
leave me alone but don't forsake me all these years
and years and years

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."
