Lyrics

[00:24.81] I know the feeling
[00:27.75] It is the real thing
[00:31.43] The essence of the truth
[00:45.55] The perfect moment
[00:48.55] That golden moment
[00:54.55] I know you feel it too
[01:09.20] I know the feeling
[01:12.43] It is the real thing
[01:15.47] You can't refuse the embrace...
[01:19.12]
[01:44.44] It's like the pattern below the skin
[01:47.40] You gotta reach out and pull it all in
[01:50.44] And you feel like you're too close
[01:53.48] So you swallow another dose
[01:56.87] The pinnacle of happiness
[02:00.13] Filling up your soul
[02:03.02] You don't think you can take any more
[02:05.94] You never wanna let go
[02:08.26] To touch the roots of experience
[02:11.18] The most basic ingredients
[02:14.35] To see the unseen glitter of life
[02:17.17] And feel the dirt, grief, anger and strife
[02:20.74] Cherish the certainly of now
[02:23.78] It kills you a bit at a time
[02:26.94] Cradle the inspiration
[02:29.90] It will leave you writhing on the floor...
[02:38.87]
[02:44.51] This is so unreal, what I feel
[02:48.00] This nourishment, life is bent
[02:50.94] Into a shape I can hold
[02:53.90] A twist of fate, all my own
[02:56.99] Just grit your teeth, make no sound
[02:59.91] Take a step away and look around
[03:02.99] Just clench your fist and close your eyes
[03:05.95] Look deep inside, hypnotize
[03:09.02] The whisper is but a shout
[03:11.87] That's what it is all about
[03:14.88] Yes, the ecstasy, you can pray
[03:17.84] You will never let it slip away
[03:20.92] Like the sacred song that someone sings through you
[03:31.89] Like the flesh so warm that the thorn sticks into
[03:43.89] Like the dream you know one day will come to life
[03:55.84] Try to hold on just a little longer, stronger
[04:07.19] It's the jewel of victory
[04:10.21] The chasm of misery
[04:13.36] And once you have bitten the core
[04:16.24] You will always know the flavor
[04:19.66] The split second of divinity
[04:22.77] You drink up the sky
[04:25.62] All of heaven is in your arms
[04:28.70] You know the reason why
[04:31.13] It's right there, all by itself
[04:34.16] And what you are, there is nothing else
[04:37.05] You're growing a life within a life
[04:40.13] The lips of wonder kiss you inside
[04:43.58] And when it's over the feeling remains
[04:46.54] It all comes down to this
[04:49.50] The smoke clears, I see what it is
[04:52.54] That made me feel this way...
[04:56.74]
[05:07.77] I know the feeling
[05:10.55] It is the real thing
[05:14.46] The essence of the truth
[05:28.02] The perfect moment
[05:31.43] That golden moment
[05:37.47] I know you feel it too
[05:52.29] I know the feeling
[05:55.48] It is the real thing
[05:58.67] You can't refuse the embrace...
[06:03.79] This is so unreal, what I feel
[06:07.40] Flood, sell your soul, feel the blood
[06:10.36] Pump through your veins, can't explain
[06:13.40] The element that's everything
[06:16.36] Just clench your fist and close your eyes
[06:19.40] Look deep inside, hypnotize
[06:22.36] Yes, the ecstasy, you can pray
[06:25.28] You will never let it slip away
[06:28.37] Yes, the ecstasy, you can pray
[06:31.37] You will never let it slip away
[06:34.23] You will never let it slip away
[06:37.20] You will never let it slip away
[06:40.17] Like the echoes of your childhood laughter, ever after
[06:51.42] Like the first time love urged you to take it's guidance, in silence
[07:03.42] Like your heartbeat when you realize you're dying, but you're trying
[07:15.34] Like the way you cry for a happy ending, ending...
[07:24.91] I know
[07:37.75]
