Phish - Rift Lyrics
Last night, in the moments my thoughts were adriftAnd coasting a terrace, approaching a riftThrough which I could spy several glimpses beneathOf the darkness the light from above could not reachI spied wings of reason, herself taking flightAnd upon yonder precipice saw her alightAnd glared back at me one last look of dismayAs if she were the last one she thought Id betraySo much better I said to myselfAnd drawing quite close to the top of the shelfI struggled with destiny upon the ledgeAnd gasped when defeated he slipped off the edgeAnd silence contagious in moments like theseConsumed me and strengthened my will to appeaseThe passion that sparked me one terrible nightAnd shocked and persuaded my soul to igniteSo much better I said to myselfAnd drawing quite close to the top of the shelfI struggled with destiny upon the ledgeAnd gasped when defeated he slipped off the edgeAnd silence contagious in moments like theseConsume me and strengthen my will to appeaseThe passion that sparked me one terrible night(and shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite) x5
