Lyrics
Silica dust in the morning air
Feldspar under fingernails
Kaolin white like a waiting page
Carbonate in measured scales
Copper green it stains my hand
Cobalt blue like buried land
Iron rust and manganese
Fire waits between the seams
Weigh it grind it mix the light
Turn the powder into night
Cobalt flashes electric blue
Copper burns in emerald hue
Iron breaks in molten red
Zircon blooms where white has spread
Spin the wheel and strike the spark
Yellow sodium lights the dark
Every oxide every flame
Writes its color in my name
Rutile storms in golden rain
Chrome cuts sharp through heat and strain
Nickel whispers smoky grey
Silver shifts then melts away
Layer glaze on porcelain skin
Watch reduction drawing in
Test tile lined like battle scars
Laboratory full of stars
Raise the cone and read the sign
Temperature becomes the line
Cobalt flashes electric blue
Copper breaks and turns anew
Iron bleeds in liquid flame
Nothing fires quite the same
Zinc ignites the yellow core
Melt the sand become the ore
From the kiln the colors rise
Fireworks before my eyes
Grind the stone
Break it down
Turn the earth
Into crown
Powder ash
Flux and spark
Build the sun
Inside the dark
Cobalt copper iron gold
Stories in the furnace told
Red to violet green to white
I command the heat and light
Every glaze a universe
Every crack a written verse
When the kiln door opens wide
It’s a galaxy inside
