(Intro)
I forgot how to feel oneness.
I remember it in my mind,
but my heart
does not recognize the path.
(Verse 1)
When the heart closes in fear,
all sensation becomes constriction.
There is no absence of love—
only the tightening against it.
I tell myself I’m not afraid,
but fear doesn’t always announce itself.
Sometimes it hides in numbness,
protecting me from what it resists.
(Pre-Chorus)
It is fear of fear itself.
(Chorus)
Fear is the belief
in separation.
Fear is the belief
in separation.
(Verse 2)
The belief that pain
is something I could not survive—
as if there were a place
where I end
and something else begins.
But there is no such place.
What part of me
is not held by the whole?
What could I not carry
if I remembered
who I am?
(Drop)
There is no such place.
There is no such place.
(Verse 3)
There are parts of me
I keep in shadow—
too tender,
too much,
too unworthy of light.
I tuck them away
like children
who learned early
to stay small
to stay safe.
(Pre-Chorus 2)
But hiding
does not create safety.
It only deepens
the feeling
of being alone.
(Chorus)
I am not separate.
I am not separate.
Love is the thread
running through all things.
(Bridge)
The invitation into love
is always present—
arriving through a face,
a moment,
a breath.
This path is not forced.
It is chosen.
Each yes loosens a bind.
Each opening
remembers strength.
(Final Drop)
I soften.
I say yes.
I allow myself
to be seen,
to be held,
to be loved.
(Outro)
I stop asking
when the feeling will return.
There is nothing to solve.
I am not separate
from what I encounter.
Love is the thread
binding me
to what I seek.
I cannot lose it.
The only journey left
is surrender.
