Afterthought Lyrics by Sky Canvas

Sky Canvas EP

2017

Hold this frame for a little while longer
Cause these images come and go
Swirling like scarlet leaves in a flurry
Our jaded eyes move to and fro
But with the seasons things grew cold
Our axis tilted out of balance
And did you see the falling snow?
From a distance coming at us

So now I’ll pull apart what’s next to me
And reconstruct the flame you are
Hold it up against the sun
A work of art seen from afar

Now you’re standing there gazing
Clouded in an afterthought
For just a moment you were chasing
After what it was you thought you were

And the ashes seem to float
Suspended and aglow
Turning to my side
Finding bearings for this climb
Losing count of all the days
I’m peering through the morning haze
Was there something more to say?
Suppose it’s time to let it fade

So now I’ll pull apart what’s next to me
And reconstruct the flame you are
Hold it up against the sun
A work of art seen from afar

Now you’re standing there gazing
Clouded in an afterthought
For just a moment you were chasing
After what it was you thought you were

These rolling waves allude to
The moments that we'll never lose
Slipping in and out of thoughts

Never lose, never lose
Never lose, never lose

Now you’re standing there gazing
Clouded in an afterthought
For just a moment you were chasing
After what it was you thought you were

Now you’re standing there gazing
Clouded in an afterthought
For just a moment you were chasing
After what it was you thought you were
