Phish - Rift lyrics

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 the 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 the 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)
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)
