I'm the man in the box
Buried in my shit

Won't you come and save me?
Save me

Feed my eyes
(Can you sew them shut?)
Jesus Christ
(Deny your maker)
He who tries
(Will be wasted)
Oh, 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

Feed my eyes
(Can you sew them shut?)
Jesus Christ
(Deny your maker)
He who tries
(Will be wasted)
Oh, feed my eyes
(Now you've sewn them) shut

Feed my eyes
(Can you sew them shut?)
Jesus Christ
(Deny your maker)
He who tries
(Will be wasted)
Oh, feed my eyes
(Now you've sewn them) shut

    @Metalocalypse665 He's talking about Satanic Ritual Abuse. The hooded robed figure holding a child hostage in his barn. They put them in cages or coffins with dead animals, leaving them in their own filth (shit), starve them while they gorge themselves in front of them to make the hunger pain worse, murder animals or other children in front of them, and tell them Jesus will not save them and anyone who tries "will be wasted"...it's painfully obvious to anyone who is awake enough to realize this stuff happens everywhere all over the world. THAT is why he had addiction problems.
