Not two

A song about the illusion of separation

Verse 1
Water running through my hands
Thought appears — no one plans
Watcher rising right on cue
But something here feels less like two

Breath is moving, soft and slow
Sound and silence come and go
Every line I thought I knew
Melts into a wider view

Pre-Chorus
Look again…
Where’s the seam?
Where’s the edge between the streams?

Chorus (flowing, ear-warm)
Not two… not split apart
Not mind over body or self in the heart
Just one wide field in motion through
Every thought saying “me” — still not two
Not two… never was
Just one unfolding without a cause
All the tagging passing through
Life just living… not two

Verse 2
Tag appears — “this is mine”
Old familiar neural sign
But the tag is just a wave
Not the owner that it gave

Chest is tight then loosens fast
Nothing here is built to last
Every watcher that I knew
Floating in the same bright view

Pre-Chorus
Feel the shift…
Soft but true…
Even “me” is moving too…

Chorus
Not two… not split apart
Not mind over body or self in the heart
Just one wide field in motion through
Every thought saying “me” — still not two
Not two… never was
Just one unfolding without a cause
All the tagging passing through
Life just living… not two

Bridge (quiet, spacious)
Nothing missing… nothing found…
Just the same unbroken ground…
Even doubt and even you…
Moving in the not-two…

Final Chorus (gentle lift)
Not two… soft and wide
Nothing here that stands outside
All the lines we once drew
Fade back into… not two
