And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite
And drawing quite close to the top of the shelf
I struggled with destiny upon the ledge
And glared back at me one last look of dismay
So much better I said to myself
So much better, I said to myself
And silence contagious in moments like these
And upon yonder precipice saw her alight
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
I struggled with destiny upon the ledge
(And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite)
Consumed me and strengthened my will to appease
As if she were the last one, she thought I'd betray
I spied wings of reason, herself taking flight
And silence contagious in moments like these
Through which I could spy several glimpses beneath
And gasped when defeated, he slipped off the edge
And drawing quite close to the top of the shelf
And gasped when defeated, he slipped off the edge
Consume me and strengthen my will to appease
Of the darkness, the light from above could not reach
And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite
