Of Highway and Man

www.whitecanvassky.com (Back in  the studio September 2016)

See the soldier lose his life for your pride..
How is this possible? 
Extra arms to lug along on their sides...
Tell me this ain't right..
Here lies a man who gave it all for your fight..
Now won't you listen?
The war fair has all the scariest rides...

Welcome to Warfair..
Entrance costs nothing
Commitment the toll
Strap yourselves in
This ride's out of control

More violence, more pain..
With more silence comes no gain..
People dying for your sake
The grand illusion is their fate

You'll suit up and die for your country, man
But tell me, what does it do for your world?
Everyone threatened and threatening everyone
All for religion and politics, power and oil

If god is our savior than why is it god isn't saving us all from ourselves?
If knowledge is power than why has stupidity taken our resources just so their wallets can swell?

Welcome to warfair

Lyrics by Steve Burgess

Tell me I'm Broken. Tell me I'm not...
tell me my heart has been chilled long enough
tell me your love is commencing the thaw 
could you hold me tonight?

if you were to listen to the beat in my chest
you'd hear a snare and a kick drum at best
could you be the orchestra? Perfectly tuned
to the rhythm we choose

Seeking a halo to rest on my head
to make me feel alive, I don't wanna feel dead any more
but me, myself and I... We don't get along.

I've broken the window I'll pay for with time
when breaking the silence has never been a crime
there's a lock on my door that I bought at a store that sells
defective things

Where will I find the way out?

I am an island, miles from a shore
lost in the distant horizon, of course
 it's a beautiful thought but this island is home
to a series of storms

Are you the one who'd set the sails?
Or would you walk along the whales backs to find me?
I'm vanishing slowly, alone in my lonely mind...

Where will I find the way out?

My brain. Said "cage" I'm kept in...

Like an animal.

Defective Things

Outside the curtain calls
back here my world feels so small
...There's no one around

My place to take the stage
with all these choices I've now made
...I could die trying

but when the curtains draw
and I perform my life in song
I'll finally feel more at home
with everyone

So what do you think of this tune?
How do you like the show?

I've put up walls of sound all around myself
and insulated them with pencil crayons
I feel I've done enough and now it's time to sell
and build a bigger home deep within myself

But when the curtains drawn
and I perform my life in song
my world will turn to fire 
fueled with passion and desire
ignited when the lights come on

Original version mixed/mastered by Carina Lin at McGill University

I've been layin' here awake for 7 days
My body breathes and whispers your name
By the time my eyes gain focus
you'll have vanished in the moment
as long as I remember, you're still here.
It's such a shame my lack of confidence
my self-righteous laxatives
have taken away every single dream
I never would have guessed it
till the day you up and left
it wasn't easy for me..

But I will be strong
I'm carried by my weight until it's gone
I've eased my shoulders
It's not so bad to be alone.

Sometimes it feels like I really miss you
when all I'm really missing is myself
I just keep staring at the sun
because you're still the closest one
of all the stars.

When I blink I still see you
when I shut my eyes the film is played in red
It's that same scene repeating
Where I'm lost and you're leaving
right before the credits.

I seen him running for the hills 
he played the lady and the old man wants him killed 
Now it's a big deal.... 
All over town the words already spreading, spreading, spreading. 
They're gonna catch him for he's gone 
keep up the hunt into the dusk and the break of dawn 
He'll pay the price of temptation 
while she sits pretty, making speeches, seeking pity. Pity. 

It's a lesson to be learned. 
You wanna play with fire, you know 
you're bound to get burned. 
Hold onto the handle, cause the blade's not quite as dull. 
You're gonna cut you're hand 
you're gonna cut your hand 
you're gonna cut your hand off... 

I remember I was young 
when momma told me I should never play with guns 
But if it was up to me, we'd have the whole wide world take a shot at peace. 
We'd embrace our sense, say goodbye to money 
and let everyone have a real chance to find themselves. 


It's a lesson to be learned. 
You wanna play with fire, you know 
you're bound to get burned. 
Hold onto the handle, cause the blade's not quite as dull. 
You're gonna cut you're hand 
you're gonna cut your hand 
you're gonna cut your hand off...

Frantic - White Canvas Sky (Single)

Words painting pictures painting words: fiction
As a matter of fact it happened... In my mind.
I choose to believe this is real
cause to me its as real as the face in the mirror
..as I am

As I..
embark on adventures through white canvas skies
Seeking peace 'round every corner
Every angle, every line
There's no chance for misdirection
When I know that I will find what I'm looking for

It's where all my dreams come to life
Where people can see whats going on
Inside my mind
when darkness falls
I can draw a light
And flick it on by adding colors
I know that thing's will be just fine
I gave all my life
All my time
To white canvas sky
I gave up my life...

When I wake up tomorrow
Same routine
Some call it passion
Some say insane
But my dreams don't stop calling for me
All while my cell phone
Never rings...

Would it be easier if I'd call?
Just set the phone and dial..
I could have friends tonight
But I can't stop continuously bleeding all over this page.
I just keep bleeding all over this page..
I can't stop bleeding all over this page
I won't stop bleeding all over this page..

My cell...
My sell.

This, the life I'm born to live
This, the gift I've sworn to give

I'll just keep bleeding all over this page..

It's where all my dreams come to life...

LYRICS

Oh my god
I found a million dollars
In the back seat of my car
I didn't have to search too far
It's a beautiful day to be rich
I love the left hand when it itches
It lets me know that more of it is comin' sure as rainy days and summer nights.
My my..
There's always a sign
But you gotta be quick
You wanna catch it 'fore it gives you the slip
Slip slip
You could slip
You could fall
You could still have it all if you tried..

Open your eyes
Life is full of surprises
Karma's only a bitch if you let her be
So I think you'd better be nice

And if you'd give her just a little more time ya
You might get her back
Oh oh. Oh. Oh..

Oh my god
I met this girl
She wears cool shirts
And she smokes the herb
She's chill
She's my decorative pill that I take when I wanna get high
My my my..
Sometimes she'll wake me
With my tongue in her mouth
But she's got her days
Where she could cut the tongue out
And deprive me of all
those tasteful tasty things

I hope she brings me more surprises
I know she feels me
She sympathizes
She sees my efforts
She knows I'm trying
She'll get me back
It's just a matter of timing

She's easy
She's not complicated
If you give her some
She'll give you some
To hold back don't make no sense at all
And though she's taken all this time
I'll still get mine
There's no question 
I'm gonna get mine

She's a series of events that consequently seem related
Had it happened in reverse
Ya, you'd have been so frustrated
She's a matter of circumstance
It's not her fault
you missed your chance
The quarter falls
on those deserved
for pennies dropped
with no concern
Into the hat, like rabbit
magic - happens
Not always over night
It could be years before that habit offers anything more than the morning light
But it's not her love that I want
It's her purpose
Encourage me
Tell me I'm making right..
The challenge is not to receive it's to give...

Open your eyes...

White Canvas Sky - Get mine (Free Download)

Sensing this intense attraction
action can't be taken, I guess I'll make this song
another inspiration
take them as they come
you pulled the poet from his slumber
she says wake up, become who you are..
convert the pain to motivation
for this I thank you,
for this I rank you high

You're some kind of angel to look in my eyes and change my life
without ever saying the words, know that the message was heard
maybe I'm making this up, but nevertheless it's enough
to keep this pen over flowing with love...

I'll make myself worthy of...

I mustn't neglect the boundaries
respect that it is what it is
but with or without, I can still write about you
and maybe one day, in the next life
at the right time, your heart will find mine
I may be first in the love line
but if I'm to do what is best for you now
I know I should just let you go...
