So this is permanence, love's shattered pride 
What once was innocence, turned on its side 
Grey cloud hangs over me, marks every move 
Deep in the memory of what once was love 

Oh how I realised how I wanted time 
Put into perspective, tried so hard to find 
Just for one moment I thought I'd 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 
A valueless collection of hopes and past desires 

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 in hand - there's nothing there at all  

Now that I've realised 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
