SOUR GRAPES
(SOMETIMES LIFE SUCKS... SOMETIMES WE JUST THINK IT DOES)
how can you know
what feeling's all about
when you're so out of touch with your body?
when was the last time
somebody touched you
with every bit of their energy?
when was the last time
you touched yourself
and felt the end of infinity?
you're so afraid of the truth
you'd sell your soul
to avoid facing reality
I'll bet that most of you don't even know what I mean
your eyes may be open but what have you really seen?
you're taught to fear from the moment you reach out to touch
and the more you feel the more fear you're taught
no wonder you clutch
(your fear makes you clutch)
so how can you understand what it's like to feel
when you must be without fear to make the feelings real
how can you experience commitment in life
when you carry death around like it's your wife
and you carve every feeling to bits with you fear
fear is your strife
fear is your knife
maybe these are just questions
but in the final hour
all the grapes you've been fed in your fantasies
have no royal or holy power
the Romans gave up
in search of a boss
you'd kill your own son
and that is your cross
the truth is not welcome
it scares you too much
cuz there is no proof
except what you touch
and you're so afraid of your touch
no wonder you clutch
(your fear makes you clutch)
maybe these are just questions
but in the final hour
all the dreams you hide in secret fantasies
have the ultimate power
as you turn away
you're so out of touch
you give into fear
too little too much
there's nothing inside
unless you let it out
break through your fear
rise above your doubt
and maybe in the final hour
you'll find your grapes have gone sour
or maybe you'll feel the life you are in
and touch the power
touch is the power
would you live this moment as if it's your last?
what would you do in your final hour
would you continue to avoid your feelings?
would you continue to fear the power?
or would you take a shower
shower with me
and touch the power
will you die letting your grapes go sour
or will you shower
release your power
come take a shower
and touch
come touch the power
and touch
touch is the power
Touch
(Fear)
