I know the feeling
|
It is the real thing
|
The essence of the truth
|
The perfect moment
|
That golden moment
|
I know you feel it too
|
I know the feeling
|
It is the real thing
|
You can't refuse the embrace...
|
It's like the pattern below the skin
|
You gotta reach out and pull it all in
|
And you feel like you're too close
|
So you swallow another dose
|
The pinnacle of happiness
|
Filling up your soul
|
You don't think you can take any more
|
You never wanna let go
|
To touch the roots of experience
|
The most basic ingredients
|
To see the unseen glitter of life
|
And feel the dirt, grief, anger and strife
|
Cherish the certainly of now
|
It kills you a bit at a time
|
Cradle the inspiration
|
It will leave you writhing on the floor...
|
This is so unreal, what I feel
|
This nourishment, life is bent
|
Into a shape I can hold
|
A twist of fate, all my own
|
Just grit your teeth, make no sound
|
Take a step away and look around
|
Just clench your fist and close your eyes
|
Look deep inside, hypnotize
|
The whisper is but a shout
|
That's what it is all about
|
Yes, the ecstasy, you can pray
|
You will never let it slip away
|
Like the sacred song that someone sings through you
|
Like the flesh so warm that the thorn sticks into
|
Like the dream you know one day will come to life
|
Try to hold on just a little longer, stronger
|
It's the jewel of victory
|
The chasm of misery
|
And once you have bitten the core
|
You will always know the flavor
|
The split second of divinity
|
You drink up the sky
|
All of heaven is in your arms
|
You know the reason why
|
It's right there, all by itself
|
And what you are, there is nothing else
|
You're growing a life within a life
|
The lips of wonder kiss you inside
|
And when it's over the feeling remains
|
It all comes down to this
|
The smoke clears, I see what it is
|
That made me feel this way...
|
This is so unreal, what I feel
|
Flood, sell your soul, feel the blood
|
Pump through your veins, can't explain
|
The element that's everything
|
Just clench your fist and close your eyes
|
Look deep inside, hypnotize
|
Yes, the ecstasy, you can pray
|
You will never let it slip away
|
Like the echoes of your childhood laughter, ever after
|
Like the first time love urged you to take it's guidance, in silence
|
Like your heartbeat when you realize you're dying, but you're trying
|
Like the way you cry for a happy ending, ending...
|
I know
|
