#it's torn

[drowningparty]

Come gather the pieces all scattered and lost, The lie in what’s holy, the light in what’s not. The story’s been written, the letter’s been sealed, You gave me a lily, but now it’s a field. You kick off your sandals and shake out your hair, It's torn where you’re dancing, it's torn everywhere

[todaviia]

It's torn where there's beauty, it's torn where there's death It's torn where there's mercy but torn somewhat less It's torn in the highest from kingdom to crown The messages fly but the network is down Bruised at the shoulder and cut at the wrist The sea rushes home to its thimble of mist The opposites falter, the spirals reverse And Eve must re-enter the sleep of her birth And up through the system, the worlds are withdrawn From every dominion the mind stood upon And now that it's over and now that it's done The name has no number, not even the one

Come gather the pieces all scattered and lost The lie in what's holy, the light in what's not The story's been written, the letter's been sealed You gave me a lily, but now it's a field

"It's Torn" by Leonard Cohen

"There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in."  -- Leonard Cohen

A collection of previously unheard Leonard Cohen material was released a few weeks ago titled Thanks for the Dance, an album described by representatives for the late songwriter as “an unexpected harvest of new songs” and “a continuation of the master’s work”.

Cohen had asked his son, Adam, to complete the sketches left over from their prior collaboration on You Want It Darker, released in October 2016. Cohen died a month later, aged 82. Seven months after his father’s death, Cohen Jr began working on the material alone in a garage near his father’s old house, later inviting other contributors to be part of the process. Cohen was obviously a master poet and songwriter and “It’s Torn” makes me realize all over again what we lost when he passed.

Okay so talking with @tattooedwonder has got me thinking. Did Jak ever question Torn’s change in behaviour after they first met? Like Torn was laughy and swaggering around and doing knife tricks and shit. The fandom agrees that his ass was drunk but what does Jak think happened? Does he think that’s just how Torn is? Does he think Torn is just weird, even crazy? I mean he didn’t know about Torn being KG until told, so what were his thoughts on Torn’s near 180 attitude change?
