about

Started in Mumbai, India, and finished in Vientiane, Laos. It's about a wonderful, beautiful, Israeli girl I met called Shiri (as is most of the album).

lyrics

Then there was you. I conjured you up in a moment of truth. I needed you and told that nights company that if you were here you would appear. You came to me like a helium balloon chasing the moon we swam in each others doom for a time, then you dried off and left me to drown. I know that you think of me and our interrupt intimacy, this isn't natural, an end date on a couple torn asunder, it was over, an underdeveloped bond, a strange, wretched, end; people in love should not be friends.

I don’t know about a broken heart, I’d be dead, but I’ve something in my chest that seems indifferent to everything beating simply because it's insistent. A shimmering pool of diluted goo forcibly jarred behind my facade because what else is there for it to do, what else is there for it to do, bleed? You had me smiling in my sleep; dreaming of your lovely slender neck. Every shave represents how brave I’m being and for every hair cut I buy myself a steak meal, and a beer; it’s the least I can do. It's the very, very least that I can do.

A coma might do me some good, reboot, there are people I miss so bad that I sit in teary revery with glass bottles, my liquid manacles. To object is worthless the object, like smoke, is constantly changing its curves reforming into something else, extreme uniqueness, like fire and snowflake sitting in the jaws of a mute, broken, mouth we used to go to market to look and laugh at the strange food, ignorance was bliss when we were two.
