Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray my soul the lord to take
~~~Sleep~~~
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
May angels watch me through the night
And keep me in their pleasant sight
I pray each night For my tortured soul to take flight
And pray for all my thoughts of you
To be firmly and absolutely removed
So your face is no longer able to haunt me
No longer able to stalk me
In my dreams or when I’m awake
I pray this each night
I pray this to sleep
Each night after my prayers
I lay my head down frighten of fear
Confused on what true reality will come
Two separate world I live and for which I have become
One life that is as perfect as a sphere
Another with jagged thorns that appear
One peaceful and surreal
One in turmoil always needing repair
It seems when I’m awake
My eyes must equate
To the current reality I live in
Yet when the somber hours unfolds
And my eye lids choose to close
The other reality begins to take hold
I pray each night
For my tortured soul to take flight
And pray for all my thoughts of you
To be firmly and absolutely removed
So your face is no longer able to haunt me
No longer able to stalk me
In my dreams or when I’m awake
I pray this each night
I pray this to sleep
Not being able to tell the two worlds apart
No longer able to divide my heart
I willingly erase all thoughts of you
And remove any desire to contact you
This is to ensure that no matter which reality is pure
I’m no longer swallowed in a belief
That one day you will rescue me
For when my head lays gently down
And any thought start to cloud around
Feelings that have been suppressed
Thoughts possibly of a gentle caress
Or visions of you may fill my mind
Subsequently I shut my eyes
And remember that the past has a place
No longer in my warm embrace
I pray each night
That my two realities collide
And swallowed all that I feel
Becoming one in this ecstasy world
No longer able to feel a shift
In my divided reality bliss
I welcome all that I’ve become
And allow the past to be gone
I pray each night
For my tortured soul to take flight
And pray for all my thoughts of you
To be firmly and absolutely removed
So your face is no longer able to haunt me
No longer able to stalk me
In my dreams or when I’m awake
I pray this each night
I pray this to sleep

~~Postlude~~
I regret my mistakes
That may have made you go away
Only I share you with my dreams
For you haunt me there
Forever In despair
For I… will no longer seek you there
“Alone in my shell I sit and wait… for the sun to get closer, to learn my fate”
You sealed your fate long ago
The Sun could not equate your enormous Ego
The lack of respect you shun
Enjoy the lonely journey you’ve begun
Sit And Continue To Wait
Wait…..
Wait….
Wait….
