You can't refuse the embrace

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 But 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 certainty 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

I know the feeling It is the real thing The essence of the soul 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

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 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, ...
