The real thing

"I know the feelingIt is the real thingThe essence of the truthThe perfect momentThat golden momentI know you feel it tooI know the feelingIt is the real thingYou can't refuse the embrace...It's like the pattern below the skinYou gotta reach out and pull it all inAnd you feel like you're too closeSo you swallow another doseThe pinnacle of happinessFilling up your soulYou don't think you can take any moreYou never wanna let goTo touch the roots of experienceThe most basic ingredientsTo see the unseen glitter of lifeAnd feel the dirt, grief, anger and strifeCherish the certainly of nowIt kills you a bit at a timeCradle the inspirationIt will leave you writhing on the floor...This is so unreal, what I feelThis nourishment, life is bentInto a shape I can holdA twist of fate, all my ownJust grit your teeth, make no soundTake a step away and look aroundJust clench your fist and close your eyesLook deep inside, hypnotizeThe whisper is but a shoutThat's what it is all aboutYes, the ecstasy, you can prayYou will never let it slip awayLike the sacred song that someone sings through youLike the flesh so warm that the thorn sticks intoLike the dream you know one day will come to lifeTry to hold on just a little longer, strongerIt's the jewel of victoryThe chasm of miseryAnd once you have bitten the coreYou will always know the flavorThe split second of divinityYou drink up the skyAll of heaven is in your armsYou know the reason whyIt's right there, all by itselfAnd what you are, there is nothing elseYou're growing a life within a lifeThe lips of wonder kiss you insideAnd when it's over the feeling remainsIt all comes down to thisThe smoke clears, I see what it isThat made me feel this way...This is so unreal, what I feelFlood, sell your soul, feel the bloodPump through your veins, can't explainThe element that's everythingJust clench your fist and close your eyesLook deep inside, hypnotizeYes, the ecstasy, you can prayYou will never let it slip awayLike the echoes of your childhood laughter, ever afterLike the first time love urged you to take it's guidance, in silenceLike your heartbeat when you realize you're dying, but you're tryingLike the way you cry for a happy ending, ending...I know"
