Performed by:
Kira Dove (violin)
Klyl Shifroni (live electronics, electric bass)
Akiko Mik (vocals, piano, composer)
Lyrics:
My mind went blank with the red wine still on my lips
Fire before my eyes, I can’t run, I can’t do anything
You liar, you fool you’ve been
I sold my ideas to the ones at home
Can’t reach them now, I can’t get them on the phone
Take me back, oh the air take me back
I’m stuck in a minute, the fault is all mine
A truck drove straight through those crowded rooms
There’s nothing here, I said ‘the wounds are all open here’
The milk turned sour, I can’t tell you why
Just don’t drink it
I’ll keep it for another time
