Not Separate

(Total time less than 4 mins and 30 seconds)
Intro (airy)

I forgot how to feel oneness.
I remember it in my mind,
but my heart
does not recognize the path.

⸻

Verse 1 (low pulse)

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 (lift)

It is fear of fear itself.

⸻

Chorus (clear, repeatable hook)

Fear is the belief
in separation.
Fear is the belief
in separation.

⸻

Verse 2 (beat settles, warm synths)

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 (minimal, mantra)

There is no such place.
There is no such place.

⸻

Verse 3 (intimate, reflective)

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 (soft build)

But hiding
does not create safety.
It only deepens
the feeling
of being alone.

⸻

Chorus (return, fuller)

I am not separate.
I am not separate.
Love is the thread
running through all things.

⸻

Bridge (spacious, devotional)

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 (expansive)

I soften.
I say yes.
I allow myself
to be seen,
to be held,
to be loved.

⸻

Outro (gentle resolve)

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.
