Canvas

As I look to the stars
I see the dreams of men
The black blanket of night
A canvas to sign our names

Beneath a meditative sun
The clouds in the sky, they run
Oh, they run away
It could take away your senses
It could break away your defenses, yeah

So much comfort in that distant star-sewn heaven
Against the harsh bite of reality
And the night only fades into itself

An arid heat
To scorch away your feet
It could take away your senses
It could break away your defenses, yeah
