lyrics

---

people aren't defined at a distance
by their rented apartments and their used cars
closer life resonates with phantom-like gesture
like children with their mother
watching it leave stirs me like an ocean
a studied love that foams on the beach
crashes with a fuss
and sinks back

temporary impression left on snow
in the back row it's like a changing design
permanence laughs as we try to detect
are we the echo in the architect

arrows of song
fire
submission
collides into my angle
while serenity dangles above the spider
she could drown inside it
I could drown beside her
anchor raindrop, beat the wall
stay divided, avoid the fall
and in love's great nest for another day
blow, like smoke, go away

without a name, without a care
without fame, without prayer
satisfaction keeps us away from the ledge
why do we spend our time looking over the edge

what can be defined at a distance
thinking what can be defined at a distance

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
