Canvas - Mat Kerekes

These walls, they could close in

This whole room could swallow us

I lit a fire and now everything’s turned to dust

You’re pacing the basement

There’s no one, no, it’s just us

You said the best thing you’ve learned

Is to know when you’ve given up

They shout

«We will wait if you come.

Slow down with the rest of us.

We need you for once.»

Death is creeping up and that’s just what you’ll get

That’s why I’m always looking back, cause I’m not finished yet

There’s a static in the air and it’s deafening

There’s a million people dancing while I’m fast asleep

They are laughing

«The next big somethings»

A door in the sky, a canvas that is finished to me

You know, we end up being who we are pretending to be

You stay for the memory but only for what you want to see

We are lost in a whisper

Forgotten, like we are meant to be

My camera is out

I’m going to capture this scene

I’ll look back in a couple weeks

If things are different, then we will see

I float in and out but is that good enough for me?

Trading a dream for reality

I’ve been blending in with everything

There’s a thick, dark cloud hanging over the show

I see their eyes fill with confusion but soon they’ll know

She would tell me, «It's alright, we will get through this»

I still think about her, just me and my silhouette

We were giants

I know we didn’t fall for nothing
