My eyes seek reality

My fingers seek my veins

There's a dog at your back step

He must come in from the rain

I fall 'cause I let go

The net below has rot away

So my eyes seek reality

And my fingers seek my veins


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


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


Please forgive me


My eyes seek reality

My fingers feel for faith

Touch clean with a dirty hand

I touched the clean to the waste


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


So as I write to you, yeah

Of what is done and to do, yeah

Maybe you'll understand

And won't cry for this man

'cause low man is due


Please forgive me

Please forgive me

Please forgive me


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


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


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


So as I write to you, yeah

Of what is done and to do, yeah

Maybe you'll understand

And won't cry for this man

'cause low man is due


Please forgive me

Please forgive me


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


My eyes seek reality

My fingers seek my veins
