gazing the sun⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I burn my retin⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
oh, blazing dark,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
moving the look⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
to the shadows⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
the iris is swallowed,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
until the deep,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
oh, wrapping dark,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I disfigure my-self⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
to fully enjoy⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
the mystic horror⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
of a night that envelop me⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
with the flames of a revealing blindness⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(rivolto al sole⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
mi brucio la retina⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
oh, buio ardente,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
disloco lo sguardo⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
verso le ombre⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
l'iride ne è inghiottito,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
sino al fondo,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
oh, buio avvolgente,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
mi deformo,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
per godere a pieno⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
il mistico orrore⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
di una notte che mi avviluppa⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
nelle fiamme d'una cecità rivelatrice)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
