John Hawkins Band - Shock

I know, I know the world is built in black
And white and there are certain truths
Standards and fundamentals that tell me
What is right and wrong to do
There is nothing beyond this
There is only what I can taste and smell and see
Illusions that people cling to
Makes them feel better, in this fugazi
Oh, oh then I saw it
Oh, oh then I felt it
And it changed me, suddenly and violent
Beautiful and inviting, peeling the bark off of the truth
Standards with no foundations
Evaporating allowing me to see through
All these, all these illusions
I am not bound by my taste and smell, you see
There is something beyond this
Behind the curtain of reality
If you could taste it the way I do
If you could smell it, there's nothing to prove
If you could see it when there's nothing left to lose
And if you want it, it waits for you
Don't limit yourself to black and white when
There are entire rainbows
I've knocked down all foundations I thought would save me
From that point of view
We are cosmically connected
To everything we taste and smell and see
But there are no pictures
No words to offer except by showing you
