Faith No More The Real Thing (live At The Brixton Academy) Lyrics

The Real Thing (live At The Brixton Academy) Lyrics

(So what are you ready to fucking go home?)



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

No



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 anymore

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



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 on

Just clench your fist and close your eyes

Look deep inside, hypnotize

The whisper is but a shout

That's what it's all about

Yes, the ecstasy, you can pray

You will never let it slip away



Like the sacred song that someone sings through you, through you

Like the flesh so warm that the thorn sticks into, into

Like the dream you know one day will come to life, life

Try to hold on just a little bit longer, longer, stronger, 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 reasons why



And it's right there, all by itself

And what you are, there's 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



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



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, hypnotise

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

You will never let it slip away

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 realise your dying, but you're trying

Like the way you cry for a happy ending, ending, ending

Ending, ending, ending



I know the feeling, it is the real thing

I know the feeling, it is the real thing

I know the feeling, it is the real thing

I know the feeling, it is the real thing
