Prismatic Mantis | Prismatic Mantis - CANVAS | OFFICIAL VIDEO | My Quarantine Song @prismaticmantis5992 | Uploaded May 2020 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
I am thrilled to finally submit this new video track "Canvas", I’ve been putting my heart and soul into for The Bay Area Music Relief Project!
These interesting times reveal to us a unique opportunity to dive within to our own creativity and self-exploration. How you decide to spend this extra time and solitude during quarantine is completely up to you.
A journey without distance.
An adventure often missed,
into your own genius.
You are your own canvas.
This creative project all started with the handpan, a unique instrument birthed from a subset of the steel drum. I felt inspired to turn a simple melody into this whole song. The lyrics were specifically written to help us stay inspired in these interesting times during quarantine. Produced, Filmed, and Recorded during my quarantined "Artist in Residency" the Bay Area, California.
Submission for The Music Relief Fund Project. Curated by @motherwolfofficial and @jazzmafiaofficial

Lyrics:
If you are not your mind
then who is listening?
Take a breath, unwind
into Infinity.
Drop in and rewind
and have a cuppa tea.
I hope you know we’ll find
what we’re meant to see.
For all the coming days
of futures so unknown,
until the moments phased
I’m on the telephone.
I’m on the forest floor.
I’m climbin’ up the trees,
through the open door
of possibility.
Be not afraid my love;
there is no room in us
for fear to have its way,
Love has no enemy.
But if you only knew,
how rare you are, its true.
I feel it yes I do;
It is my gift to you.
No matter where you live,
no matter what time zone,
these times we all are One.
The whole world is at home.
Earth sent us to our rooms
to think bout what we’ve done.
Now got my work on Zoom,
sport coat but sweatpants on.
The planet’s on display
to our friends far away.
Eucalyptus and sage
candles on autoplay.
Attempting mastery
of fear’s a useless tool.
Instead reality
and Truth we’ll tune into.
Simple existence.
Journey without Distance.
Artist in residence.
Feelin’ our own essence.
Adventures often missed
Into your own genius
you are your own canvas
(you are your own canvas)
