Rift Lyrics by 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 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) x5
