Hypnotic (also called soporific) drugs are a class of psychoactives whose primary function is to induce sleep and to be used in the treatment of insomnia, and in surgical anesthesia. When used in anesthesia to produce and maintain unconsciousness, "sleep" is metaphorical as there are no regular sleep stages or cyclical natural states; patients rarely recover from anesthesia feeling refreshed and with renewed energy. Because drugs in this class generally produce dose-dependent effects, ranging from anxiolysis to production of unconsciousness, they are often referred to collectively as sedative-hypnotic drugs. Hypnotic drugs are regularly prescribed for insomnia and other sleep disorders, with over 95% of insomnia patients being prescribed hypnotics in some countries. Many hypnotic drugs are habit-forming and, due to a large number of factors known to disturb the human sleep pattern, a physician may instead recommend alternative sleeping patterns, sleep hygiene, and exercise, before prescribing medication for sleep. Hypnotic medication when prescribed should be used for the shortest period of time possible.
This cave full of crystal
Explicit, precise
Grounded by pounding waves of white
Hue water washed color
Amber and scarlet
Trance like I fall victim
Hypnotic... Hypnotic... Hypnotic...
The smoke from the fire
Circles my eyes
I'm still spinning form these sudden goodbyes
As we walk on this delicate strand
I can feel your heart beating
It rests in my hands
It rests in my... hands
I want to feel
Your breath
Your touch
As you whisper in my ear when the pain is too much
I want to love
I want to try
To feel the love I've found on the inside
Oh I... I...I... I will
(hypnotic hypnotic hypnotic)
Water fills my eyes
Salty and hot
I can't tell the difference
Between what I am and what I'm not
Love caustic and brutal
Carves through the panes
Trapped your reflection and captured your face
It captured your... face
I want to feel
Your breath
Your touch
As you whisper in my ear when the pain is too much
I want to love
I want to try
To feel the love I've found on the inside
Oh I... I...I... I will
Your breath
And your touch
And your breath
And your touch
It's too much
I want to feel
Your breath
Your touch
As you whisper in my ear when the pain is too much
I want to love
I want to try
To feel the love I've found on the inside
