lyrics

I didn't dream it, and I didn't kill him
They did.
Little by little, I felt them.
I am the doorway.

I spent three weeks with my hands bandaged
Every time I went out
Three weeks just blindly hoping it would go away

Beneath the bandages, my new eyes stared blindly
Into the darkness the bandages forced on them
They itched

They killed the boy last night
It wasn't a nice thing to watch (or feel)
His head... it exploded
As if someone had scooped out his brains
And put a hand grenade in his skull

How hideous he was! How could I have lived near him
Spoken with him
He was not a creature, but mute pestilence
He was…
My hands flew up, flew over my head
In a screaming gesture
Reaching to the only familiar thing in this nightmare world - the clouds
And the clouds answered.

I looked down at my hands
The eyes were open but glazed
They had exhausted themselves
They were resting. They dozed

There was a small hearth in the living room, I lit it now
I soaked both hands in kerosene
They came awake immediately, screaming with agony
I almost didn't make it back to the living room, and to the fire.
But I did make it

There was terrible pain
For the first few years
It started again three weeks ago
There is a perfect circle of twelve golden eyes on my chest
