We’re being took for a ride on a theta wave of our design On a vortex of futures and memories forever entwined (Can you feel it?) I was counting the sheep, now I’m counting my infinite fingers They’re making oceans from puddles, temples from rubble, suns from dying embers Oh I’m lost in lucidity’s disguise Or is clarity mimicry this time? Lost in lucidity again Asleep at the wheel of the infinite highway Lost in lucidity again Perceptions warp and then fade away (away) I can’t believe this reality only is mine Ambrosia is blooming, illusions consuming, erosion of the sky Oh I’m lost in lucidity’s disguise Or is clarity mimicry this time? Oh my god no There’s symbols floating on the breeze I can’t tell if this is dream So show me that we’re real Enchantress Show me that we’re real Just confess Show me that we’re real We exist Oh I’m lost in lucidity’s disguise Or is clarity mimicry this time? Erosion of the sky Lost in lucidity again Asleep at the wheel of the infinite highway Lost in lucidity again Perceptions warp and then fade away (away)

Mellow Majic 05:58
The desert sand is sculpting sacred spires to reach the stars A cathedral with serpent’s gown from the creek is being carved But all your wind don’t do nothin’ no art within your scars In silence I find harmony your sounds leave my mind starved They wear me down By your eyes I’m gagged and bound They wear me down In solitude solace found Where I feel their focus fade away No words to say to cast my mellow majic The eye is wider when it’s one Space to wander in my mellow majic Alone in my cyclone My soul fragments to fractals across the oceans of thought Drifting at 99 emotions per minute The illuminated road I see infinite Like a mirror reflecting mirrors with no image In stillness I exist only as breath Omnipresent I’m ascending Feel their focus fade away No words to say to cast my mellow majic The eye is wider when it’s one Space to wander in my mellow majic Alone in my cyclone Echoes Never drone when I’m alone Every thought And every dream that I’ve forgot Blooming And taking flight with dizzy wings ‘Till I’m lifted And reality is wilted I feel their focus fade away No words to say to cast my mellow majic The eye is wider when it’s one Space to wander in my mellow majic Alone in my cyclone They all fade away, they all fade away No words to say, no words to say

Midnight Sun 05:09
I found your shell In fragments on the shore We’re breaking down, our swells are breaking With every handful I lose twice as many more To pay the elevator to your soul And it’s known That our tides move alone Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh The midnight sun is blinding us to dreams Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh The midnight sun is shining through your seems Who will animate our essence Who will shape our quintessence Won’t you prophesize the solstice Won’t you? Congeal our auras to one so that we are seen Incorporeal footprints in the sand I’ve seen your ghost I’ve seen your vacant stare That climbs a memory of a disappearing time When light enticed But now that mirage is me Have I become the reverie? Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh The midnight sun is blinding us to dreams Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh The midnight sun is shining through your seems Who will animate our essence Who will shape our quintessence Who will prophesize the solstice Won’t you? Congeal our auras to one so that we are seen So that we are seen Congeal our auras And black the midnight, black the midnight sun So that we are seen Congeal our auras And black the midnight sun So that we are seen

Your serpentine lips unholy I can’t believe what they tell me In the kissed neon mist tropics of Capricorn Oh Jazz I’ll swim through you tonight ‘Cause they’ll be watching, they’ll be creeping They’ll be climbing up the walls They’ll be hiding, they’ll be seeking They’ll be waiting for us to fall In the plaza, discotecas In synchronized steps They don’t see it, marionette That’s under your lips Crying dirty moves Elevate our words above an alibi ‘Cuz your highway eyes they don’t drive no lies But they lead without heed for misdeeds in the early morn So maroon our mood here tonight ‘Cause they’ll be watching, they’ll be creeping They’ll be climbing up the walls They’ll be hiding, they’ll be seeking They’ll be waiting for us to fall In the plaza, discotecas In synchronized steps They don’t see it, marionette That’s under your lips Crying dirty moves Beckoning the truth to silence Dirty moves Waking the dreams the sirens Dirty moves Best believe they hunting your Dirty moves alright Rinse those lines from your water hands They read like omens and drip with deceit It’s drowning me Tamp the plant and light my match Feed me your smoke Burn delusion and collusion into one You got me looking over my shoulder Scrying the unturned stones Worshiping the smolder Crying to the empty throne Dirty moves Beckoning the truth to silence Dirty moves Waking the dreams the sirens Dirty moves Best believe they hunting your Dirty moves alright

Out of Phase 04:48
Another day, another way I’ve betrayed We’re out of phase and you’ll keep it that way Holding on my every word, just to toss ‘em out We’re out of phase, our signals washing out You were the arrow cutting through the fray How could I know that your flight would lead astray Like an island when the seas would storm and toss How could I sense that you’d go drifting off Another day, another way I’ve betrayed We’re out of phase and you’ll keep it that way Holding on my every word, just to toss ‘em out We’re out of phase, our signals washing out A stone monument, you offered us shade Oh we never dreamt that you’d disintegrate You were the cord that tied us into one Oh weren’t we floored when you came undone Another day, another way I’ve betrayed We’re out of phase and you’ll keep it that way Holding on my every word, just to toss ‘em out We’re out of phase, our signals washing out Lines, you only walk in lines Paper thin, and now they’re wavering So you hiss and call me the snake behind your window so opaque Lines, can’t see but only lines Another day, another way I’ve betrayed We’re out of phase and you’ll keep it that way Holding on my every word, just to toss ‘em out We’re out of phase, our signals washing out

The shortest straw the bourgeois made us draw The shortest straw declawed us with your laws The shortest straw now will be the last and break your spineless backs We cannot breath we’re choking on your smears Liberty thieves our words won’t disappear We’re bound to bereave year after year so we’re immune to tear gas We’re starving, you’re numb to pain We’re fighting, you’re playing games We’re protesting, you’re on parade throwing empty emblems So tell me, can we teach the blind to see With fire setting ablaze their eyes Bombardier can we help the deaf hear With thunder rolling from our cries Unborn walking as if they’ve seen the light Sleepers talking as if they know the plight Different colors obscuring the one thread stitching vision forward Siamese twins tearing out their seems Shedding skin, stomping out our dreams Couldn’t recognize the strange fruit from an over-ripened orchard. So tell me, can we teach the blind to see With fire setting ablaze their eyes Bombardier can we help the deaf hear With thunder rolling from our cries Brother, by and by, you’ve got a long way to fall ‘Till we’re eye to eye Brother, don’t you lie, you’ve got a long way to fall Break line testify Brother, gemini, you’ve got a long way to fall Long way to fall

Here we go again I’m sinking deep inside my own head Disappearing in the tangled what-if second-guessed threads And you’re standing here so far away smoke signaling the cast away Calling on an empty sky You can never see the world inside of me And I can never know from where your spirit flows Sleepwalk our sense, sleepwalk our sense Feeling for the lover’s hex Surrendering, surrender it Stop overthinking And embrace the space Here we go again I’m making something out of nothing You gave me just one step and now here I am a’running One word set sail from your throat was just enough for me to float Alone into an empty sky You can never see the world inside of me And I can never know from where your spirit flows Sleepwalk our sense, sleepwalk our sense Feeling for the lover’s hex Surrendering, surrender it Stop overthinking And embrace the space

Hideaway 04:42
Hideaway Escape the light of day Open up the door and let your conscience stray Come along, let’s go Without me you’ll never know Where the mind resides and what it is I can show you love Sublimate the stars above I can show you god in a pile of twigs So come along Hideaway Escape the light of day Open up the door and let your conscience stray Unfurl this world Mine the lies and smooth the burls Let the poison seep in where you’re stung The serpent eats its tail Consume me and lift the veil The vacant page is filled dissolved on tongues So open up Hideaway Escape the lies today Open up the door and let your conscience stray Untie your mind Inner-space expanding beyond mortal rind And sacrifice Hideaway Escape your life today Open up the door and let your self decay Hideaway Escape the light of day Open up the door and let your conscience stray

How’s this hook taste in your mouth? Did you swallow it whole? Can that price tag that you’ve got Conceal the hole in your soul? How many selfies can you take To disprove that you’re fake? I’m lost What’s your teleprompter read? Did it tell you who to be? Chasing followers Livin’ vicariously I’m sorry you took the bait From that mind-control magnate I’m very lost Oooh la la la la lost Don’t ask us what it cost To sell our souls Oooh la la la la lost Don’t ask us what it cost To sell our souls Because they were stole Ooh everybody wants to have it all But they’ll never know, they’ll never know What it’s all for Headless they’re chasing plastic dreams But it’s only a cloud, it’s only a cloud supreme Have you swiped at your veins Green and hollow With that mastercard blade To find the dollars you’ve swallowed I bet you cut morality From mortality and you’re lost You’re very, very lost Ooh everybody wants to have it all But they’ll never know, they’ll never know What it’s all for Headless they’re chasing plastic dreams But it’s only a cloud, it’s only a cloud supreme Everybody’s getting some, yeah everybody wants some Everybody’s getting some, yeah everybody wants some Everybody’s getting some, yeah everybody wants some Everybody’s getting some, yeah everybody wants some Well have you swiped at your veins, have you swiped your green veins Have you swiped at your veins, have you swiped your green veins huh?

The Dreaming 03:19
Oh, the May Queen’s disrobing in the gorge Where the vespers of cloudbursts converge She’s singing a sonnet swaying dreams For the seeds of the past to be redeemed She’s not waiting on you nor me Her fire is finally free And dancing on streams into our lungs The queen's transmutation begun Donating her boreal tithe For the lotus eaters now are revived She’s not waiting on you nor me Her fire is finally free Oh but how long will she last Naked, pale, unabashed Does she know her destiny The curse of entropy But for now the stones are smooth What the babbling brook says soothes It moves And it skews To confuse The May Queen’s disrobing in the gorge She’s coming undone she’s on the verge Of dissolving like salt into the ebb Loosening sutures of cobwebs She’s not waiting on you nor me Her fire is finally free And burning the ground beneath our feet The birds flying higher in the heat Balance restored at last To the Queen we raise our glass She’s not waiting on you nor me She’s not waiting for us to see She’s not waiting on you nor me Her fire is finally free Free...

Liftoff and I’m lost Alien landscape taking my place… Liftoff and I’m lost Alien landscape taking my place Inertia’s destiny, life support is failing me 500 kelvin, inhospitable heaven Last chance, no choice The red dust is glowing, new eyes growing Poison-siren’s prey, demon planet summoning Alien landscape taking my place now No footprints here no breath of creation Just pools of liquid silver tinted Reflecting a presence umbra Of shared memories and memetic energy Reaching out into the pool-borne Mirror creatures sinking deeper Planetary duality, what’s left of me More than molecules shifting in the whirlpool Instincts, sound, and heat, false memories All I’ve ever been Adaptation awakened through duplication In my blood, it’s in my blood Silver It’s inside, inside Collide and divide, collide and divide It’s inside, inside Alive Implanted cognizance How many moon turns since I was born of silver’s touch Decohesion atoms thinned Subspace radiation Loosening my bioformed skin off Planetary duality, what’s left of me More than molecules shifting in the whirlpool Instincts, sound, and heat, false memories All I’ve ever been Adaptation awakened through duplication In my blood, it’s in my blood Silver I spilled the silver Silverblood Planetary duality, what’s left of me More than molecules shifting in the whirlpool Instincts, sound, and heat, false memories All I’ve ever been Adaptation awakened through duplication In my blood, it’s in my blood Silver Speak to me my lord in evanescent melodies That I lose like sand through fingers If times is but a whisper and all my light is energy I’m a flickering hollow reverie That captivates their sight behind the faded lines where our songs will go To join in with the lost souls Our time is but a whisper, endeavors like a shiver cold So won’t you tell me Who am I to you, who am I to you? Tell me who I’m going to be Who am I to you, who am I to you? Won’t you tell me And is it my hands that play these chords Or are they yours?

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.
