    Since less and less people buy CDs nowadays and I can't afford a vinyl press, I decided to work on a beautiful booklet, which of course contains the lyrics but also drawings I did for each song. I used a japanese brush my mother gave to me years ago. It was a wholesome process dedicating myself both visually and musically to make that album what it is. <3

lyrics

Castles


Calling these castles your home
When you know they’re not your own
Only makes you feel less at ease
When you try to sleep

And in your front garden
Between where you grow all your teas
We shared a cup and did not wake up
Until we heard the police

I took a thousand pictures
Not one of them shows you
I’m grateful to know that
from our point of view
It’s best to just go

We started building a nest
Then we took a rest
Baby, you should know
From my point of view
I’m ok to go on alone

Marching bands in rain
Blue body chains
Bury my bones
with what you find most of

Cry me a song
Build me an ark
Kill what you long for
And learn how to starve

You predicted your pain
Still we tried to gain
Hope and trust in each other’s chests
I guess we tried our best

In our false garden
our lost paradise
the dog is barking
And cars are parking
I’m solemnly colsingmy legs

And in your lined face
Which my mother would call old
I see a wish that is nothing more
Than to be held and to hold

In your eyes I am tall
In your hands I am small
The tip of my tongue is too far away
To tell you that I am in love

Give me a rest
I’ve fallen out of our nest
I learned I’m bad at climbing
And flying away suits me

Where is your hat
Your dreamed of it before it
Anded on your head
On your mother’s birthday

Castles in rain
We’re not the same
Our talk is cheap
The steps still steep
We tried to change the game

But if you close the shades
of your windows night and day
Remember the ghost
that slept in the stores of the house
You want her to stay
I t may hurt the eyes
but the light of the day
Will not scare her away

It’s healing to live and let go off
one’s belonging to make the ghosts stay
It’s helpful to know
that from your point of view
It’s best to just go
Baby, you should know
From my point of view
I’m ok to go on alone
