Low Man's Lyric

(from the album ReLoad)

Back to Metallica Albums

My eyes seek reality

My fingers seek my viens

There’s a dog at your back step

He must come in from the rain

I fall cause I've let go

The net below has rotted away

So my eyes seek reality

My fingers seek my viens

*

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 lowman is due

Please forgive me

*

My eyes seek reality

My fingers feel for faith

Touch clean with a dirty hand

I touch the clean to the waist

The trash fire is warm

But nowhere safe from the storm

And I can't bare 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

Maybe you'll understand

And won't cry for this man

'Cause lowman is due

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

*

I cry, to the alley way

Confess all to the rain

But I lie, lie straight to the mirror

The one I've broken, to match my pain

*

The trash fire is warm

But nowhere safe from the storm

And I can't bare 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 lowman 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 viens

*
