|
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) |
|
The passion that sparked me one terrible night |
|
(And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite) |
|
The passion that sparked me one terrible night |
|
(And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite) |
|
The passion that sparked me one terrible night |
|
(And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite) |
|
The passion that sparked me one terrible night |
|
(And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite) |
