Dead Eyes Open Lyrics
+++Dead Eyes Open, or,<br />
How the Woman in the Attic Fled, Never to Return+++<br />
<br />
Prelude<br />
My eyes are arid and cold on a portrait's insides. <br />
I am time-hardened wax and I can see wide! <br />
Fungus and frost have fondled my frontside and I<br />
- Did he wonder and wander in small ages? <br />
Did he forget that I died? <br />
He's older and ugly and a beautiful baby, he's retinal mist. <br />
Far away, far away, leaning and twisting, I moan and I list!<br />
<br />
Middle<br />
Not flying, not walking, porous, like curtains, <br />
I hang on the dampness of Spring! <br />
I've known my own scrapings for so many years, <br />
I know that something is coming! <br />
Not demon, not quickly, gradual breaking glass... <br />
My knees will go out from under me! <br />
I've borne my own weight for so many years, <br />
I know the ground is dissolving! <br />
Not under, not behind, not slow and torpid... <br />
I'm far-away attic frost, free and untangled!<br />
<br />
Conclusion<br />
Didn't he wonder? <br />
I shall surprise him! <br />

Did he forget? <br />
I shall remind him! <br />
Please hold my hand, beautiful, ugly man! <br />
I've come untangled, but we shall find frost again! <br />
Dizzy and turning, you never need walk! <br />
I shall carry you, hold you, early and blinded! <br />
My son is no burden, I'm ancient with sorrow strength!
