Man of No Substance

Touch the surface, and slide through, this new world needs exploring too New people to meet, new things to see What will I find? things of a similar kind? For these people have been here before, done things good and bad. Made some people sad, some happy, for these people have been here before Repeated lives relearning, past loves,past actions yearning White light hurts my eyes, white,bright water reflection. Shed my skin and past ties. Is this my resurrection? For this world is not the same, as our own. Money,sex and fame Touch the surface and slide through, join me in this adventure too You can enter this world, at any time. Through action and inaction, through accident or design The people that you meet have no substance to their being. You can see right through them, you, the all seeing I would travel to this place, book my ticket on the plane but not in my lifetime, just in case, my life is not on the wane For to touch the surface and slide through, the people you meet one touch will confirm that they have no substance You look as white as a ghost here. Dont worry there is nothing to fear, for now we are all the same . Money sex and fame, don't apply here For you now ,have no substance in this world or the last world, in this instance
