Surface Tension

I didn't really want to do it
It was so cold
Something inside me was resisting
Glad I did it though
Falling backwards and feeling waters closing like doors over my face
So cold

Just feeling
Nothing
So cold

Coming up at first thinking
Well nothing's changed
Getting up out of the water
A new understanding came over me
Looking at houses and trees
Looking up

Could just see through it all
A subtle realisation that um
This is not my home
This place isn't even real

All of this could just pass away
It could crumble
Or it already has
Or it will and just
A connection with the situation that
Remains when all of this is gone
I could see through it all
Or more like
I could feel through it

The part of me that was tied to this
Temporal dwelling
Is gone now
Like feeling a new ether
Or identifying with the
Suddenly identifying with that sea
That slips between the particles

Just feeling that
All of this physical realm could just pass away
It could crumble
And at last I'd gotten outside
There's nothing quite like it

There are waters below, there's waters above
And each one's a gateway. You know?

I'd gone through a gateway
In the water
And I'd shed a skin
I walked out, and
Into a different universe

The part of me that was tied to this temporal dwelling
Was gone now

There's nothing quite like it
Being anchored firmly outside of this temporal realm
Outside of this existence
It underpins everything I am
Underpins everything I do now

I didn't think that baptism was going to be so
Powerful

I feel I'm living inside of a bubble
I feel I'm living inside of a bubble

I feel I'm living inside of a bubble
I feel I'm living inside of a bubble
I think that something's gonna burst my bubble
I think that something's gonna burst my bubble
