Thick Woods 06:56
Thick woods, The kind that I grew up in, In my head now. I walk the trails for nothing. But I don’t want to die Before I’ve felt you fully, Before I’ve held your pearls In my palm tightly. Maybe you let your dress down fully, And slowly crawling towards me. Every moment before me Is building up to now. Maybe no one’s known what to do with you, How to be true and encourage the same. Fields of wheat, My fingers trailing gently. Oh, to lie down And be swallowed up completely. But I don’t want to die Before I’ve felt you fully, Before I’ve held your pearls In my palm tightly. Maybe you let your dress down fully, And slowly crawling towards me. Every moment before me Is building up to now. You gotta be something to me. You’re gonna be something to me. Maybe no one’s known what to do with you. How to be true and encourage the same.

Older 03:33
I thought I knew what I wanted when I was younger Only to grow or So I convinced myself. But I’m as young now As I was then I’m just a little older. Things don’t just melt away. They build up, build up, build up. Build up. And as you step off your branch I just Need you to know me. I need you to know me. Know me.

Arrow 04:33
Oh, circumstances Hiding behind doors. Open the cabinet, They fall to the floor. And yes, I’m sorry When I don’t show my best side, But why do you act so Surprised? Don’t send me packing. Yes, I can change. Or is my love just an arrow Misaimed? Way out of your city, Further still out of your mind. Pleading with your lips to Comply. Don’t stand there packing. Yes, I can wait. Or is my love just an arrow Misaimed? Don’t send me packing. Yes, I can change. Or is my love just an arrow Misaimed? Way out of your city. Further still out of your mind.

All your colors Didn’t need me to tell them How radiant they were Blowing in the wind When I showed you my childhood And you understood. Now spreading arms as if you’re fully feathered, Terrified of feeling untethered. I thought I saw you sleeping So at peace with everything Until you started shaking, Until I woke you up. Well, I got tired of being your alarm When you just wanted 5 more minutes Of blissful heroine, shedding everything you’ve built up, Built up to hate Then staring in the mirror, Forgetting all your Insecurities But you were drunk and soon to cry on the toilet Until you let me in And you said, “You’re too good for me. I don’t deserve you.” And I said, “You don’t love yourself enough to even let me love the scraps of what I see when I turn over in the middle of the night, wrap my arm around your waist and you don’t wake save to wrap your arm back around my wrist.” Where are we going, never to return Before it’d all be different anyway? With vaguely reminiscent streets, Yet you remember their names. Where are we going, never to return again? People pat us on our backs for leaving all we know. Where are we going never to return again? Here we go.

Circles 05:01
Just run in circles and give it meaning. Then give me something worth repeating. Or maybe this is the best that I’ll get. And who will I be when I grow up? And how will I know when I’ve shown up? Or maybe this is the best that I’ll get. And what have I got? As the sun comes up behind the window. And what do I want that’s not in front of me? It’s all that I got. And who will I be when I grow up? And how will I know when I’ve shown up? Or maybe this is all that I need.

about

Telomeres Gainesville, Florida

Combining intricately picked acoustic guitar with unique percussion and subtle psychedelia, TELOMERES' confessional song- writing feels expansive yet intimate. Think Nick Drake meets Animal Collective.

TELOMERES thrives in near-silent rooms, where climaxing builds can dissolve into vulnerable hushes.
