lyrics

there's somewhere I am supposed to be
the heart goes to the surgeon, wrist-deep
handling the edges precise
his mind on preventing the secret police

and a pulse pumps
deep blood
cross your fingers for
your savior
while men question what it takes
men that were around my age one time

blown into a vacuum
empty and clawing space
erupting delusion
division and the human race

you'd think we'd be happy
that we were actually born free
the sky is no father of mine
burning in hell, guilty of thought-crime

my nomad heart dreams
my bliss seems to be
dying in Mexico, woven into the seams of my lifeline
all in due time
for now I'll stick around

nobody wants to work for Mickey anymore
a stolen magazine from the drug store
reminds this isn't some brief place to be
this is my name and my eternity

in the kitchen my shadow whines
in the fire my left hand throws fireflies
salt of the earth doesn't help you go down
suspended in the shade of a small town

my nomad heart dreams
my bliss seems to be
dying in Mexico, woven into the seams of my lifeline
all in due time
for now I'll stick around

SHARON STONE EP out 10/23/12
by TONY CASTLES

Tony Castles I can't find much on, but from what I have found he is vastly underrated. This album speaks for itself, it's flawless and beautiful and very valuable to me. Jesse Davis

oove is rare
by harmony tividad

"oove is rare" is a special album. I keep going back to it over and over again--- the lyrics are effortless yet profound and honest. Comforting and yet piercing. I really like this one. Jesse Davis
