Canvas




We constantly print color into the world, as if it's our own canvas. Yes, I know I haven't written in a while and this sounds like a recurring meme, but right now I have a bunch of students taking an exam and I started to look at color palettes for my apartment.

And I sort of realized.

I associate someone with a color. When I meet someone they're blank, but I start painting them the more I know them. Usually the colors can change depending on how they react.

What's my color? I usually see myself as white, don't ask why but it's the color I'm more familiar with (that and green), I haven't seen many people with white: It's usually Blue, Pink, Red, there's a few Browns. Blue people are just nice people who I talk with often but aren't exactly special people (yes sounds mean). Pink's are people who annoy me with their constant affection. Reds are interesting and are opinionated (something I can't stand for long). Browns are always in tune with their physical needs (food, living, etc) which I like.

Whites? I only know someone else who is white, white comes from the combination of all colors, so I think myself as white because I've had every virtue and flaw from all colors at one moment or another, whites can also paint other people or change their colors (or at least are interested in doing it). The other person who is white? Let's just say she started black many many years ago and throught the years has worn every single color until becoming white. Kudos to her.

Human - The Killers
I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was broke but i was kind
And sometimes i get nervous
When i see an open door
Close your eyes
Clear your heart

Cut the chord
Are we human?
Or are we dancers?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I’m on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancers?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soarer moments
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything i know
Wave goodbye
Wish me well

You got to let me know
Are we human?
Or are we dancers?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I’m on my knees
Looking for the answers
Are we human?
Or are we dancers?

Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is so message we’re receiving
Let me know is your heart still beating

Are we human?
Or are we dancers?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I’m on my knees
Looking for the answers

You got to let me know
Are we human?
Or are we dancers?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I’m on my knees
Looking for the answers
Are we human
Or are we dancers?

Are we human?
Or are we dancers?

Are we human
Or are we dancers?
