24 Hours

So this is permanence, love's 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
 I never realized how I wanted time
 Put into perspective I've tried so hard to find
 Just for one moment, I thought I found my way
 Destiny unfolded, I watched it slip away
 Excessive flashpoints 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
