Brat for the Universe

[image description]

Woods is a White transmasc person with a buzzcut and a gray beanie sitting crosslegged on a light mahogany-ish hardwood floor. Their back rests on white wainscot paneling. They are holding a lilac lined journal. There is a black Jansport backpack to the left of them. It is open with a shoebox-sized plastic bin filled with tarot decks - like the Citadel tarot deck - and mason jars filled with sea glass and pebbles peaking out. Lying face up on the floor in front of the backpack is the Seeds of Wisdom from the Divine Feminine Tarot Deck, underneath which Lecoq’s The Moving Body is sandwiched between a yellow journal and a white journal. To their right is an unopened black journal. They are wearing loose, black linen overalls and a black tank top with white stitching outlining the straps. Draped halfway down their arms is a black and white plaid button-up shirt. They are wearing Cruel Ruby colored lipstick.

In this video, you can see that Woods has black Adidas with white soles on. Their button-up lies behind them and, on the left, their linen overall strap is draped off of their shoulder.

[lyrics]

what if I told you

i’m ready I know

what I want

what if I said

you’re a treasure

X marks the spot

all the pieces

you think are broke

are just stained glass

you’re a cathedral

I’ll kneel at your altar

make sure you know

you’re wanted by me

never ghosted,

just haunted

by your beauty

and we’ll dance

in the flames

of the binaries

they wanted us

framed in

yeah we’ll wave

to the devil

cause hell

is just heaven

when i’m with you

all those sins they say

should be inscribed

on our souls

are just about as

relevant as those

damn missing bones

thrown into the graves

we refuse to climb into

and we’ll wave to the

garden of eden

cause we’ve got our own

fertile soil we’re seeding

there’s no worlds

only new suns

I feel like i’m

under one

under you

and I know people

will be clutching

their pearls

but they’re the same

ones that said girls

just wanna have fun

well i’m sorry ma’am

I just don’t wanna

be one

don’t wanna be one,

I wanna be two

maybe three,

but right now

i’m just lookin at you

just lookin at you

won’t ask for permission

nor forgiveness

cause I lost religion

a long time ago

but I never lost faith

in a love

that dreams of

creating together, not

dividing and leaving

traces behind

yeah it’s a quantum

it’s a fractal

it’s a primordial

kind of love

i’ve got on my mind

and we’ll dance

in the flames

they wanted to

cave us in

yeah you were my tower

I guess now you’re

my religion

you’re the one

thing on my

to-do list

to-love list

to-want list

I never forgot

i’m ready

I know what

I want

(Vocally imitates falling off a cliff, follows the fall with their eyes and indicates surprise when whatever fell hits the bottom.)

(Giggles.)

you’re a treasure

and x marks the spot

(Chuckles.)

I didn’t know we’d be going all the way down there - I guess that’s hell!

(Pats the floor once.)

It’s just a floor.

(Winks, gets up to turn the camera off.)
