Infinite windows alight Weightlessly tracing the black parallax of night Fluorescent beams coalesce with the dreams of the stars They rewrite our past when we’re gone When we’re gone Infinite windows Elina, I’m lost don’t want to be found So take me to the discotec Where we first met underground Hypnotize my western eyes Weave a brand new way … Because I’m afraid Maybe we’ve gone too far Too far to turn back now Let’s stay lost forever And fly away Over the Nazca lines Speak in your lost languages Translate the secret signs The world unravels at our feet And collapses in retreat … Which is why I think we’ve gone too far Too far to turn back now Let’s stay lost forever Infinite windows alight, tracing the night Fluorescent beams coalesce, in my eyes They stray as if to confess, to another sunrise

Iguazu 04:58
Stretching out my legs for a place to stand Scratching my name in exotic sands The wind is picking up again, the tide is rising Descending the stone staircase of history Collecting all the light from the white city Swindling thieves beneath the ruins Convincing the stolen ones to believe Mixing potions behind the witch's eye Bounding islands above Pachamama's sky Walking in the secret path of kings Dying at the sacred rock to make my offering I've crossed over that mountain And I have swam in their sea I've seen the other side of sunsets Read what the road's written for me Y a los ninos de esperanza No me olvidado de ti Mire le garganta de Iguazu Era mas profunda que concoci Y le dije que estas esperando A cambiar pena por alas He subido a la montana Nuestros suenos no desfasadas

How many suns have set since we lost our minds? Abandoned for reckless bliss and left behind How many rain drops fallen since we danced on clouds? Shrugging off our woes and shedding shrouds Dream wandering Transcending shadows Shape shifting Forever tomorrow How many suns have set since we lost our minds? Abandoned for reckless bliss and left behind How many rain drops fallen since we danced on clouds? Shrugging off our woes and shedding shrouds How many stars gone black since we last touched Earth? Knowing its secret ways without speaking its words Only the moon recalls when we lost our minds Back when you and I were intertwined Dream wandering Transcending shadows Shape shifting Forever tomorrow

Beyond the plaza amongst peddlers and thieves A seer sings a seance and smokes the sacred leaf Disguises dissipate into a sixth dimension She takes me by the hand with esoteric intention Oh and the planets align As she pours the last of wine Can't keep count of passing days in the chrysalis hotel Another sunrise another sunset one can never tell You and me wrapped in a dream under her spell Bathing in gold we never grow old in the chrysalis hotel But there comes a time when the wall unwind to another day In perennial solstice roses bud from the eyes From flames of the soul the flowers arise Outside inside all as one Everything happening everything done Oh and the hour's hands are tied And its eyes smile wide Can't keep count of passing days in the chrysalis hotel Another sunrise another sunset one can never tell You and me wrapped in a dream under her spell Bathing in gold we never grow old in the chrysalis hotel But there comes a time when the wall unwind to another day

Anemoia 05:01
Black and white dreams pang for memories they’ve never known Lost in a mirage of reveries and time overgrown Inspire dust and dive in the sepia Echoing voices all whispering anemoia Our bleary eyes in the mirrors blind to frontiers Worshiping moth-eaten myths as today disappears
6.
Zig/Zag 04:52
Help me find the truth I've been looking up, writing down, stepping out, breathing in, zig/zag, circling but I don't know what to do Help me see this through Time is pulling at my veins Birds are circling humming their hush taboo But what does it mean to be me when there's a thousand voices in my head answering to you And who is who? Out of my hands, over my head Tugging at my soul, beyond my control Been digging in the ground, lighting up the skies at night Hunting for what it is chasing me, where it is taking me, haunting me, driving me through this fight And which is right There's too many directions, all this freedom is leaving me helplessly paralyzed Wandering wondering for too long, I forgot this labyrinth is paradise Out of my hands, over my head Tugging at my soul, beyond my control Hourglass is fading, sundial racing Across the horizon a new day rising

Finally awake for the first time Now that I left behind (gone, gone, gone) The future past and toxic expectations leading nowhere (nowhere) Memory clear, blurred edges defined Yesterday I wandered with my face on backwards Blind, with inside out eyes, compromised And a fog seeped from my pores over the damp streets In the miasma my anima misplaced in cracks of concrete But now I’m awake for the first time Now that I left behind (gone, gone, gone) The future past and toxic expectations leading nowhere (nowhere) Memory clear, blurred edges defined Where were you when the fruit fell from the basket? Did you really think that time was on your side? Every exhale a nascent resting symphony Can’t keep holding your breath now, the world’s going to see you differently Now that you’re awake for the first time Now that you left behind (gone, gone, gone) The future past and toxic expectations leading nowhere (nowhere) Memory clear, blurred edges defined Can’t ignore the vines at my feet on their perpetual parade And the decaying pulsar, counting up our mistakes Yeah, I got a long way to go, like a marathon in quicksand And I’m a small, small man, but I do understand With every step I take that I’m leaving them, I’m leaving them behind Our own life we divine Awake for the first time Now that I left behind (gone, gone, gone) The future past and toxic expectations leading nowhere (nowhere) Memory clear, blurred edges defined

Iridescent 05:25
I step into the sunlight kaleidoscope in hand Peering towards the future, not far from where I stand Give thanks to mother freedom, as well to father snake Abundant apples in my tree, mornings in my wake Another day iridescent Seeds of fortune sewn now with my golden hoe Just say the magic words now in a soft adagio The only pathway's up from here shows the esoteric signs Silver boots be tightened, tied by the divine Another day iridescent And you would be there too Waiting for that sunset violet to lead me home to you And you would be there too Looking iridescent waiting for another rendezvous

Oranges raining from a sanguine sky Over again, and again Peeling off the rind from our third eye I see through you Lost in Erica’s labyrinth of green On Emerald street Eugene purrs an omniscient melody With deaf telepathy Rolling in the afternoon Dave is singing as the day is sinking “Lie in our Graves” In orbs of breath my reflection shrinking Floating away Clouds are pregnant with young secrets Dilating time Chasing deja-vu silhouettes Beneath the roots of the sun Rolling in the afternoon
10.
There's a mosaic in our veins from fragments of ecstasy Fertilizing paradise in the never-ending sunshine Oh it's sewing our souls Spinning the air into gold There's a new tongue being spoken embroidered in collective dreams All around we hear the sound of its seeds being planted Reach until we find our hands With the moonlight on our faces and light-years closer each day Symbiotic consciousness evolving in our nature Oh it's sewing our souls Spinning the air into gold Without limits beyond senses there's a new truth being told Fertilizing paradise in the never-ending sunshine Reach until we find our hands

Snake Oil 04:11
What's this look we keep on sharing As if you recognize the ocean in our eyes And yours captivate like an oracle's Their prophecies tantalize Is there magic here between us Are you chanting spells beneath your breath Voodoo dolls under your mattress Or am I living in a myth My heart's a crooked charlatan selling snake oil yet again Affection for you can't be true, another feeling misconstrued My heart's a crooked charlatan selling snake oil yet again Affection for you can't be true, I can't trust my heart In your presence the world's electric There must be lightening in your looks Wordless now I'm catatonic Lovely thunder left me shook Is there magic here between us Your tea leaves read beside the monolith I can't see smoke I can't see mirrors Now way I'm living in a myth My heart's a crooked charlatan selling snake oil yet again Affection for you can't be true, another feeling misconstrued My heart's a crooked charlatan selling snake oil yet again Affection for you can't be true, I can't trust my heart And I'll never trust it again If you say that we're just friends
12.
Grass Sea 04:11
You came tumbling like a bull to China Into me, into me I made no sense, trapped in the past tense Carefree in your fruit true We broke the rules, mixed molecules In the grass sea Now the current's reversed And our words are submersed Fruit tree is sodden Alchemy forgotten You fallen You sink You fall in The grass sea
13.
Dive 05:59
Follow me beneath the waves Far away through the coral maze Where the curtains of light-beads fall We're sheltered from the squall in our aquamarine shall Inhale, hold it in Unveil ether's twin Suspended between the tides selkies gracefully glide And sleeping leviathans hide below Dive into another life One that's liquid untouched by time Exploring for some peace of mind Dive under the untamed roar Deeper than we've ever been before On the other side of our reflection Inside the ocean It washes away our woes as we're sinking farther below Lured by azure glow Dive into another life One that's liquid untouched by time Exploring for some peace of mind Dive under the untamed roar Deeper than we've ever been before Serene, floating Marine dreams Undertow, ripping threads of the soul Pulling into our blue destiny Undertow will show us what we need to know Breathlessly forevermore living free
14.
Stepping forwards back through time Life is just a state of mind Through one eye we only see Looking through infinity Falling, falling, falling forever Recognizing endless depth Hearing colors in every breath Random collisions day by day Another future slips away Falling, falling, falling forever Oh its too late now, oh it's too late now To reach where I was going, psyche overflowing Oh you're too late now, yeah you're too late now Tattered fate unraveling, constellations vanishing Oh it's too late now, too late for us now To turn this all around, destiny is drowned Wait, I was wrong The moon's where it belongs Too young to see Light of the sun over me Piercing through The haze obscuring truth Never again to dream of a future unseen

about

Inspired by Colby J. Schnackenberg's psychedelic wanderings through South America, Deaf Telepathy's debut album is a surrealist soundscape of melting guitars, swirling synths, and hypnotic rhythms that is equal parts space and surf.

about

Deaf Telepathy Portland, Oregon

Deaf Telepathy is a psychedelic rock quartet hanging ten on the gnarly wavelengths of your dreams. Too progressive for the garage-rock kids, too fuzzy for the prog-rock kids, and too psychedelic for the squares.
