Joy Division

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,
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,
Gottas 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
