about

Permanence is rare to come by, and we are bound to an ever changing experience. A static existence is not all that exciting. I've found that if searched for, one may even find comfort in their uncertainty.

lyrics

I saw a canvas stood white
Stood tall in a room void of light
And I've been waiting so long
I'd almost lost hope

The colours of your heart
Held back and waiting to start
A fire in this room
You'll let it out soon

This year snuck up so fast
But we won't be slaves to our past
And I know we're both well aware
The canvas is still there

You gathered all your silver keys
And set sail for the seven seas
And you sent a message to me
That one day we'll see

And when the time comes
You'll give all that you got and stand tall
You'll rise like the morning sun darling
And light up that canvas on fire

So do what you're doing my darling
And know that you know who you are
Love isn't something we're chasing
But something that shows who we are
