- Man In The Box LyricsI'm the man in the box
Buried in my shit
Won't you come and save me, save me
[CHORUS]
Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ, deny your maker
He who tries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes now you've sewn them shut
I'm the dog who gets beat
Shove my nose in shit
Won't you come and save me, save me
[CHORUS]
Buried in my shit
Won't you come and save me, save me
[CHORUS]
Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ, deny your maker
He who tries, will be wasted
I'm the dog who gets beat
Shove my nose in shit
Won't you come and save me, save me
[CHORUS]

It's about Layne's addiction to drugs. Read about how he died. Addicts would like to quit, but how? It's a cry for help. Save me, save me, Jesus Christ.

Buried in my PIT and Shove my nose in SPIT. I think are the correct lyrics... from the versions I've heard and seen. Good work otherwise!
