Rift Lyrics - 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
