VANISHING ACT from HERE LIES by Kill Scenes

pictures on glass
the lens reflects an image moving past
portraits hold fast
the light persists
but nothing really lasts

an eternity of ephemera
we lose ourselves in moments
posterity in camera
will anyone even notice?

we disappear
were we ever really here?
what's left of us now?
is there no coming back?
we disappear
the capture has been cleared
the witness is blank in this vanishing act

hours escape
the tape repeats the scenes that we create
always too late
time degrades each copy that we make

fragility is cinema
we fall apart in frames
futility, etcetera
la fin d'un film... étrange

we disappear
were we ever really here?
what's left of us now?
is there no coming back?
we disappear
the capture has been cleared
the witness is blank in this vanishing act

stay
stay candid for the capture
now pose
now pose for the rapture
