The Real Thing Lyrics by Faith No More

The Real Thing Lyrics

    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
