Story Behind The Song
Jerry Cantrell said of the song:
It's basically about how government and media control the public's perception of events in the world or whatever, and they build you into a box by feeding it to you in your home. And it's about breaking out of that box and looking outside of that box that has been built for you.(WIKIPEDIA)

Lyrics
VERSE 1
I'me the man in the box
Buried in my shit
Wont you come and save me, ... Save Me
CHORUS
Feed my eyes
(**backing vocal)Can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ
**Deny your Maker,
He, He who tries,
**will be wasted,
So feed my eyes
** Now you've sewn them shut
VERSE 2
I'me the dog who get beat,
Shove my nose in shit
Wont you come and save me , SAVE ME,
