Hypnos

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
