    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

Frank


Frank, when did you leave home
was your love a stillborn
born out of your own core

Gently wiping off the old dust
of all the things gone lost
on your long way back home

White gloves and a book of poems
you'd written just for them
when you were at the age of twenty-eight

Do you remember the smell of grass
on your knees when you fell
far from the place where you slept over that night

And in the morning you heard the call
of a lark and the barking of a dog
near the hall of a village in a valley
so small that in awe
your eyes ignored what they saw
and you walked straight to the door

Frank, do you know you forgot
to pray to pray to the lord
should I begin instead

Holy Anne, if you hear me now
please do accept my vow to never pray again
Anne, hear my prayer

You do not wait for the sound of
the alarm or the arm hoisting your hated body
to be fed and be washed
You'd rather feel the brown earth in your mouth

Oh river, how could anyone say that you're ugly
Oh waters, you've always been the biggest love to me

When does a word start to mean more than a word
Where do your waters take me, where to in the world

Say do you feel when a swan dies in your giant limbs
Pray for the winter to make fish stop moving their fins

Love, let my die, let me rise up to feed you where
you and your hungry hungry heart wait for more than air
