cohen (band) - cherish lyrics

Loading...

i’ve been living for two souls
but neither are me+
just you and the person
we both wish i could be

i’m only 23
why do i feel like i’m only half
of what’s expected of me?

there’s a chip on my shoulder
for every time i felt forced
to make my dreams seem tangible
and water down my ambition
i’ll take a small victory
over feeling disappointed
poisoned by my condition

let me recognize
the reminders of my past
make peace with the old me
and storе his skeleton
safe in a shoеbox
under my bed

let me embrace the bliss
there is in being free
indulge in life’s contingency
and take time to leave my head
i want to cherish the love i feel
and find true contemptment
in the reverie i seek
to not fixate on the fear
of the unknown
the possibilities of next week

rip the tourniquet i’ve fashioned
out of each line i’d indite
as i pray there’s
meaning instilled
in the context i can still derive
let me cauterize my open wounds
proudly leaving room for error
and not worry about what’s in store
i just want to call my mom more

i’ve been living for two souls
but neither are me+
just you and the person
we both wish i could be

chisel an image of me
featuring the details
i’ve always dreamed
i’ll douse the portrait
with kerosene
and force myself
to endure the torture
of facing charred actuality
i’ve always hoped my pain had purpose
rather than my purpose be pain
i don’t want to spend another night in vain
chained to this rock
hoping to find peace
with myself
but dreaming
dreaming against the clock
