Faith No More - 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
You don't think you can take any more

Like the echoes of your childhood laughter
Like the first time love urged you to take its guidance
Like your heartbeat when you realize you're dying
Like the way you cry for a happy ending (ending
