So this is permanent 

Love's shackled cry 

What once was innocent 

Turned on its side 



A cloud hangs over me 

Marks every move 

Deep in the memory 

What once was love 



Oh how I've realised 

How I wanted time 

Thought it too protective 

Tried so hard to find 



Just for one moment 

Thought I'd found my way 

Destiny unfolded 

I watched it slip away 



Excessive flashpoints 

Beyond our reach 

Solitary demands for 

All I'd like to keep 



Let's take a ride out 

See what we can find 

My newest collections of 

Hopes and passing times 



I never realised 

The lengths I'd have to go, 

All the darkest corners of 

A sense I didn't know 

Just for one moment 

I heard somebody call 

Looked beyond the day 

And there's nothing there at all 



Now that I've realised 

How it's all gone wrong 

Gotta find some therapy 

This treatment takes too long 



Deep in the heart of 

Where sympathy felt swayed 

I got to find my destiny 

Before it gets too late
