Dan Bull - Doorways lyrics

My first heartbeat life starts sweet
I'm a part of her and she's a part of me
I can't believe these feelings I'm feeling
It hardly seems real - I'm dreaming
Me being a being, breathing
A beacon beamed in by the beat of birth
A seed, a sperm, I leave in search
I need to fertilise so I
Can be with the world
The bees and the birds, trees and the herbs
Even the Earth and the people
I need to immerse
The first physical feelings seep
Through my nerves
Pins and needles tingle deep and it hurts
But, it's worth it as I creep to my birth
To be with the legions of
Unique creatures on Earth
I'll treasure each thing I learn
And teach it to others in turn
Now I'm a good person

I'm safe in this womb
A place in which wounds won't do no harm
I'm safe in this womb
A place in which wounds won't do no harm
I'm safe in this womb

An old man, with my whole family
Standing around me holding my hand
I'm cold and even beneath the
Folds of my blanket
The heat seeps from me I'm freezing
I'm wheezing
My breathing's increasingly weak
And the people with me seem to be fleeting
But, it's me that's leaving - I need to
I need to be at peace soon
I see through the veil
The innate truth that humans fail to
Value til it's too late
Choose fate, lose waking consciousness
And at once succumb to a new state of mind
Where space and time, they combine, entwine
And you face the universal I
Are you the first to die? No
But, I know that it's finally my time to go

I'm safe in this room
A place in which wounds won't do no harm
I'm safe in this room
A place in which wounds won't do no harm
I'm safe in this room
