Low Man's Lyric
My eyes seek realityMy fingers seek my veinsThere’s a dog at your back stepHe must come in from the rainI fall ’cause I let goThe net below has rot awaySo my eyes seek realityAnd my fingers seek my veins
The trash fire is warmBut nowhere safe from the stormAnd I can’t bear to seeWhat I’ve let me beSo wicked and worn
So as I write to youOf what is done and to doMaybe you’ll understandAnd won’t cry for this man’cause low man is due
Please forgive me
My eyes seek realityMy fingers feel for faithTouch clean with a dirty handI touched the clean to the waste
The trash fire is warmBut nowhere safe from the stormAnd I can’t bear to seeWhat I’ve let me beSo wicked and worn
So as I write to you, yeahOf what is done and to do, yeahMaybe you’ll understandAnd won’t cry for this man’cause low man is due
Please forgive mePlease forgive mePlease forgive me
So low the sky is all I seeAll I want from you is forgive meSo you bring this poor dog in from the rainThough he just wants right back out again
And I cry to the alleywayConfess all to the rainBut I lie, lie straight to the mirrorThe one I’ve broken to match my face
The trash fire is warmBut nowhere safe from the stormAnd I can’t bear to seeWhat I’ve let me beSo wicked and worn
So as I write to you, yeahOf what is done and to do, yeahMaybe you’ll understandAnd won’t cry for this man’cause low man is due
Please forgive mePlease forgive me
So low the sky is all I seeAll I want from you is forgive meSo you bring this poor dog in from the rainThough he just wants right back out again
My eyes seek realityMy fingers seek my veins
