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
