The city of DEAD! the city of the city of the city of DEAD X2 You play dead it stops the hurting You play dead And you think the hurt it stops It's sometimes just like sleeping Curling up inside your private tortures Come nestle into pain Hug suffering The city of DEAD! The city of DEAD! the city of the city of the city of DEAD X2 [Loops] STAND UP! You've got to manage I can't empathize Anymore You're on your own now WE can't save you Your rescue squad is too exhausted YOU WERE RIGHT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG ORGANIZATION PLEASE. AND GET TO WORK! You play dead...

Is there a place… Where I Where I can pay respect, To the To the Woman who was… Show some Show some respect. Is there a place Where I Where I can pay respect, To the To the Woman who Was Show some Show some respect. To the blushing bride Show some To the optimistic girl Show some To the naive Mother- to-be Show some respect. So Where Did I go? Did I disappear? Into Ether? I fall down Tumble down on my knees PLEAD for Answers PLEAD for Honor PLEAD for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of my Invisible Of My Invisible Of my Invisible Labor IS THERE A PLACE WHERE WE CAN PAY RESPECT TO THE MOTHER WHO WORKS SHOW SOME RESPECT To the Warrior coming home Show her respect. Lay a crown on her head She some respect. BUT WHERE….DID SHE GO…? DID SHE DISAPPEAR OR DID YOU TAKE FOR GRANTED? HER LABOR MAKING THIS ALL HAPPEN PLEAD FOR ANSWERS PLEAD FOR HONOR DEMAND SOME STRUCTURE TO SUPPORT HER INVISIBLE OF HER INVISIBLE OF HER INVISIBLE LABOR See Me. See Her.

Ahhh..... You will see Who She Is Now Behind the skin and her muscle.

///DOMESTIKA///

This project began as an exploration of what I believed were feminist themes in Bjork's music and a desire to highlight them, especially given her latest releases Vulnicura & Utopia, and subsequent interviews. "Domestika" was the original title intended for what became Bjork's iconic Vespertine, until she met Matthew Barney ... the partner who would later cheat on her and file for divorce. There was something I wanted to reclaim in that.

This desire was highlighted by my more recent struggles with Motherhood, mental health, and the wounding of being homebound. In the process I formed a chain of channeled messages ... as if from my Mother ancestors, or Mother Earth herself. Messages of unheard stories, pain, healing, justice, and hope.

This album is my bloody valentine to Motherhood and all the wisdom She gave me. My hope is that this music serves as a kind of balm for my listeners, especially during these trying times.
