I remember when I close my eyes A distant figure foreboding in my sights Stoic lines were etched across his face His hair a flowing grey His marble eyes opaque A voice of an angel, it was so crystalline Our conversations so complex no one could conceive I recall like it was yesterday So vivid and clear was the reflection staring back at me "Wise men have interpreted dreams, and the gods have laughed." But there are memories I will never escape I pray for slumber A lifetime of pain is buried within me Buried six feet deep It's only just begun The days events preceding like needles they stung Fear has taken my mind Invasive like a parasite A journey so explicit, we swore to never speak of it Extreme aspirations of another world To conquer all the stars But I'm afraid we've travelled much too far This thought has rocked me to my core This nightmare's only just begun "Wise men have interpreted dreams, and the gods have laughed." Most men will never see what I've seen They'll never transcend lucidly But there are memories I will never escape I pray for slumber A lifetime of pain is buried within me Buried six feet deep I know things will never be the same I pray for slumber For this was conjured inside of my head His statue remains at the end of my bed Hypnos, you have forsaken me
