I'm not sure this is right, but I get a feeling that perhaps he said something or did something that he didn't know would get a bad reaction. "Oh no, and I'm wrong" gives a general feeling that he messed up. "I knew it before I reopened my eyes" seems like the feeling you get when you just said something and you know that it was bad. Whatever he did must have been split second impulsion. "And if I didn't know to be afraid, the faces made he sure that I do know" so whatever he did, the people around him had bad reactions, so now he definitely knows that whatever he did is not something one just shares. "As i sit and wait" perhaps the moment of quiet after it where you're just dying. "With a black spot on my arm" so he's been marked a dead man; he now has a bad reputation or something. "I look inside, and I see all the things I always knew, but wasn't sure until now" maybe things about himself "That if it comes to claim, I won't run" maybe if someone asks he won't lie, or maybe he won't run from the things he finally knows for sure. |
