TZIMTZUM​/​DUALITY

from BRIGHTON by Joe Sorensen

/

lyrics

I was whole before I met you
I carved a space for us to share
Choice is always a sacrifice
And I thought that you were mine

I was wise and I was foolish
Lived life ten steps ahead
You brought me back to reality
When you said you couldn’t make a space for me

“Couldn’t” or “wouldn’t” – was it forced or choice?
Who are we really under all that noise?
Do we sell ourselves a tired lie?
The truth is written in the ways we try

The space I made for us was sacred
And now it feels just like a hole
But it was made with best intentions
And that’s what I need to hold

Creation needs a space to thrive
You didn’t have a place for mine
Everything will one day die
I just thought we had more time

It takes two to make a sacred space
Such a beautiful duality
Maybe the lesson I need to learn
Is to make space in all the parts of me
