    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

Dry Mouth


Even on my bed
I feel like I haven’t done a thing
I built it with my hands
And the help of a friend
Who I can’t call

Could any of the lines
Reach towards your core?
I wrote them with my hands and I know
You cannot write for too long

When you speak, Dry Mouth
Let me be your water

When he told you all about his child
I came home from school
I’d never seen you cry that hard before
And it struck my core

How could he have done this to you?

You’re shaking with all that you’ve got
And I can’t seem to help
My back is bending helplessly under your weight

Could any of the lines
Reach towards your core?
I wrote them with my hands and I know
You cannot write for too long

When you speak, Dry Mouth
Let me be your water

I know you told me
You cannot promise more
Than to stay as long as it feels right
You see no reason to leave before

But I’ve wrecked more than one heart
Just not to get wrecked

I think I won’t do this to you

When you speak, Dry Mouth
Let me be your water
