Twenty-Four  -  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  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
