about

Back in 2007, a couple of friends and I had a short-lived collaboration. We got a few finished songs out of it, and some others that never really got off the ground. Spark is one of those songs - but you'd never recognize it from the original demo. I've wrestled with it for four years now, trying to finish it. This new version is all me.

lyrics

I give
And I live
My life
Laying on my back

She says
Oh, she says
My love
These words begin to crack

But I've got my arms around her
This peace is so elusive
We move, we breathe, and we fall

I say
And I pray
That I
Am bigger than a space

But I know
Lord, I know
That we
Will never leave this place

But I've got so much inside me
Nothing will satisfy me
I move, I breathe, and I fall

I live to breathe
I live to play
And I live I see
Another day
