about

My upcoming album is largely about my struggle with disability & chronic illness, and My spiritual growth and experiences during this time. This track The Spark is about finding inspiration in the darkest places, and is an allegory for me finding a way to move forward creatively (using robots) despite life-changing illness, written through a pagan spiritual lens. In other words it’s about paganism & finding expression despite severe illness

lyrics

On the first day
And the last day
Of the world
The queer oracle
Leaps
From the center

Of a cauldron
From a fire
Kept by fey
And mortals touched by the Spark

Stir the fire
Mince the sage
Add cardamom
And time

There’s a sleeping seed
Buried deep
Beneath
The last fruiting tree
On earth

This tree will not survive
Nor will it die
Earth's brew
Feeds this seed
For rebirth

Heat the cauldron
Melt the sugar
Drink the brew
Set the spark

We are all
Just piles of mud
Mounds of flesh
Smothering the earth
Encased in stone
Statuettes,
That is
at least
Until
we feel
The Spark
