Rift - Phish
Last night
In the moments my thoughts were adrift
And coasting a terrace
Approaching a rift
Through which I could
Spy several glimpses beneath
Of the darkness
The light from above could not reach
I spied wings of reason
Herself taking flight
And upon yonder precipice saw her alight
And glared back at me
One last look of dismay
As if she were the last one
She thought I'd betray
So much better I said to myself
And drawing quite close
To the top of the shelf
I struggled with destiny upon the ledge
And gasped when defeated
He slipped off the edge
And silence contagious
In moments like these
Consumed me
And strengthened my will to appease
The passion that
Sparked me one terrible night
And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite
So much better I said to myself
And drawing quite
Close to the top of the shelf
I struggled with destiny upon the ledge
And gasped when defeated
He slipped off the edge
And silence contagious
In moments like these
Consume me and strengthen
My will to appease
The passion that sparked
Me one terrible night
(And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite)
And shocked and persuaded
My soul to ignite
And shocked and persuaded
My soul to ignite
And shocked and persuaded
My soul to ignite
And shocked and persuaded
My soul to ignite
