Dan Bull - Doorways lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 s**m, 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 [Hook] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Outro] 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
