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


[repeat second verse]




Fast Enough for You


If time were only part of the equation

Then you could draw the bound'ries of our cage

You wouldn't pile another stone upon me

And I'd be happy just to watch you age


But everything is in its own dominion

And waiting in the shallows as I do

Appeases me as water slowly trickles out

Which isn't nearly fast enough for you


It isn't nearly fast enough for you

It isn't nearly fast enough for you

Its what I was afraid of

I stumble into view

But it isn't nearly fast enough for you

It isn't nearly fast enough for you
