Lyrics
Twenty Four Hours
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Of what once was love
Oh how I realized 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 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 in hand, 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 held sway
Gotta find my destiny, before it gets too late
