So this is permanence -

Love shattered pride

What once was innocence,

turned on its side

A cloud hangs over me,

marks every move

Deep in the memory,

what once was love



Oh how I've realized, I wanted time

Put into perspective,

try so hard to find

Just for one moment I thought

I'd got my way

Destiny unfolded -

watched it slip away



Excessive flash points,

beyond all reach

Solitary demands for all

I'd like to keep

Let's take a ride out,

see what we can find

Valueless collection of hopes

and past desires



I never realized the lengths

I'd have to go

All the darkest corners of a sense

I didn't know

Just for one moment -

hearing someone call

Looked beyond the day in hand

There's nothing there at all



Now that I've realized how it's

all gone wrong

Got to find some therapy -

this treatment takes too long

Deep in the heart of where

sympathy held sway

Got to find my destiny before

it gets too late
