Mine Eyes Lyrics
[Demo version of "Low Man’s Lyric"]
[Verse]
Mine Eyes seek reality
My fingers seek my veins
Mine Eyes they no longer see
The marks that still remain
Mine Eyes seek reality
My fingers seek my veins
Mine Eyes they no longer see
The marks that still remain
Mine Eyes seek reality
My fingers seek my veins
Mine Eyes they no longer see
The marks that still remain
[Chorus]
They said, "give it time"
They said, "you'll be fine"
But I can’t bear to see
What I’ve let me be
I’m drawing the line
As I write to you
About what I must do
Hope you’ll understand
I take with my hand
This life I can't use
Please forgive me
[Verse]
Mine Eyes seek reality
My fingers seek my veins
Mine Eyes they no longer see
The marks that still remain
Mine Eyes seek reality
My fingers seek my veins
Mine Eyes they no longer see
The marks that still remain
Mine Eyes seek reality
My fingers seek my veins
Mine Eyes they no longer see
The marks that still remain
[Chorus]
They said, "give it time"
They said, "you'll be fine"
But I can’t bear to see
What I’ve let me be
I’m drawing the line
As I write to you
About what I must do
Hope you’ll understand
I take with my hand
This life I can't use
Please forgive me
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse]
Mine Eyes seek reality
My fingers seek my veins
Mine Eyes they no longer see
The marks that still remain
[Chorus]
They said, "give it time"
They said, "you'll be fine"
But I can’t bear to see
What I’ve let me be
I’m drawing the line
As I write to you
About what I must do
Hope you’ll understand
I take with my hand
This life I can't use
Please forgive me
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse]
Mine Eyes seek reality
My fingers seek my veins
Mine Eyes they no longer see
The marks that will remain
My Eyes seek satanity
My fingers seek my veins
Mine Eyes they no longer see
The marks that will remain
[Verse]
Mine Eyes seek reality
My fingers seek my veins
Mine Eyes they no longer see
The marks that still remain
[Chorus]
They said, "give it time"
They said, "you'll be fine"
But I can’t bear to see
What I’ve let me be
I’m drawing the line
As I write to you
About what I must do
Hope you’ll understand
I take with my hand
This life I can't use
Please forgive me
[Instrumental Break]

Mine Eyes seek reality
My fingers seek my veins
Mine Eyes they no longer see
The marks that will remain
My Eyes seek satanity
My fingers seek my veins
Mine Eyes they no longer see
The marks that will remain
[Chorus]
They say, "give it time"
They say, "all is fine"
But I can’t bear to see
What I’ve let me be
I’m drawing the line
As I write to you
About what I must do
Hope you’ll understand
I take with my hand
This life I can't use
Please forgive me
Please, oh, please
Please forgive me
[Instrumental Outro]
They say, "give it time"
They say, "all is fine"
But I can’t bear to see
What I’ve let me be
I’m drawing the line
As I write to you
About what I must do
Hope you’ll understand
I take with my hand
This life I can't use
Please forgive me
Please, oh, please
Please forgive me
