Name: Omnipotence of Her
Duration: P00H02M52S
Description: I think this attempt was pretty obvious. I LOVE Leonard Cohen. I don't think my music reflects his style too much but he is such an inspiration as a writer and performer. The simplicity of his songs are beautiful. For this song, I tried to put myself into a character that continuously longs for this woman who barely gives him the time of day and treats him quite brutally.

I think this attempt was pretty obvious. I LOVE Leonard Cohen. I don't think my music reflects his style too much but he is such an inspiration as a writer and performer. The simplicity of his songs are beautiful. For this song, I tried to put myself into a character that continuously longs for this woman who barely gives him the time of day and treats him quite brutally.

lyrics

I was in love with that part of you
The one without the edge
I broke down your door
Said I need more
Of the things that make my world go round
You shattered all my dreams
I'm torn at the seams
Please mend me back to vitality
I'm sorry for the pun
But I don't know what I've done
To deserve all of this acrimony

But I love it when you wipe the blood from my face
And you shed a tear and my pain was erased

I never understood why you couldn't pardon
The things that come of my presence
I'm a man with mistakes but I'm far from a fake
Can I please get your acquiescence
Every morning I awake with you as an ache
But you're still just as beautiful
These cuts on my wrists don't need to persist
But you experience me as horrible

But I love it when you wipe the blood from my face
And you shed a tear and my pain was erased
