Twenty Four Hours

Karma to Burn

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 realized 
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 flash points 
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 realized 
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 realized 
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
