Analysis of Eyes Closed
Sight fades of a soul so nice,
Directions all shut their eyes, ho wise.
Strongest of the gone, gone lustful meets,
Review in us all the visions oh! visions.
Season's clutches seen not defeated,
All made caught, so caught and set apart.
Scorched, so scorched days of the soul ho sharp,
Stings and stings as a scorpion so harsh.
