Lyrics

[Verse 1]

My eyes seek reality

My fingers seek my veins

There's a dog at your back step

He must come in from the rain

[Verse 2]

I fall 'cause I've let go

The net below has rot away

So my eyes seek reality

And my fingers seek my veins

[Verse 3]

The trash fire is warm

But nowhere safe from the storm

And I can't bear to see

What I've let me be

So wicked and worn

[Verse 4]

So as I write to you

Of what is done and to do

Maybe you'll understand

And you won't cry for this man

'Cause low man is due

[Verse 5]

Please forgive me

[Verse 6]

My eyes seek reality

My fingers feel for faith

Touch clean with a dirty hand

I touch the clean to the waste

[Verse 7]

The trash fire is warm

But nowhere safe from the storm

And I can't bear to see

What I've let me be

So wicked and worn

[Verse 8]

So as I write to you

Of what is done and to do

Maybe you'll understand

And won't cry for this man

'Cause low man is due

[Verse 9]

Please forgive me

Please forgive me

Please forgive me

[Verse 10]

So low, the sky is all I see

All I want from you is forgive me

So you bring this poor dog in from the rain

Though he just wants right back out again

[Verse 11]

And I cry to the alleyway

Confess all to the rain

But I lie, lie straight to the mirror

The one I've broken to match my face

[Verse 12]

The trash fire is warm

But nowhere safe from the storm

And I can't bear to see

What I've let me be

So wicked and worn

[Verse 13]

So as I write to you

Of what is done and to do

Maybe you'll understand

And won't cry for this man

'Cause low man is due

[Verse 14]

Please forgive me

Please forgive me

[Verse 15]

So low, the sky is all I see

All I want from you is forgive me

So you bring this poor dog in from the rain

Though he just wants right back out again

[Verse 16]

My eyes seek reality

My fingers seek my veins
