DAY BURNS DOWN TO NIGHT
BURNS THE EDGE OF MY SOUL
IN THE NIGHT I BREAK INTO SPARKS OF SUNS
AND I BECOME FIRES END TO THE DUST OF BONES
KNIGHT ENIFES MY BREATH, SWALLOWS WHOLE MY TONGUE
TURN BACK, REVERSE, RETURN
AT NIGHT I SEE THE REAL, CONCEALED IN THE DAY'S BRIGHT LIE
EYES STITCHED SHUT
WHITE TEETH SMILE
SLEEP WALKS, AND TALKS
I'm not the best at this, but my perception is that he's talking about having nightmares.
Day burns down to night - obvious
BURNS THE EDGE OF MY SOUL- I think it burns his soul because in the day time he's forced to be someone he's not and his soul is burning away.
IN THE NIGHT I BREAK INTO SPARKS OF SUNS- sweating
AND I BECOME FIRES END TO THE DUST OF BONES- he realizes he is the one killing soul. He's forcing it to burn away.
KNIGHT ENIFES MY BREATH, SWALLOWS WHOLE MY TONGUE
TURN BACK, REVERSE, RETURN - symptoms of a nightmare. Short breath, turning
AT NIGHT I SEE THE REAL, CONCEALED IN THE DAY'S BRIGHT LIE
EYES STITCHED SHUT
WHITE TEETH SMILE
SLEEP WALKS, AND TALKS - his dreams show him the truth of whats happening because when he's out in the world all he sees in the lies of how everyone,especially his mother, wants him to be.
