    Lyrics:
    Three inches above the floor
    Man in a box wants to burn my soul
    And I'm tired
    "Is that the truth?" he says
    The pain is easy
    Too many words, too many words
    And I can hear 'em
    And I can hear 'em
    And I can hear 'em, I can hear 'em
    And I can hear 'em
    If you're hearing screams
    Come back child, come back
    My hands are dry
    But I know they're gonna make it just one more night
    Too many words, too many words
    And I can hear 'em
    And I can hear 'em
    And I can hear 'em, I can hear 'em
    And I can hear 'em

    Three inches above the floor
    A man in a box wants to burn my soul
    And I'm tired
    Is that the truth he says
    The pain is easy
    Too many words, too many words
    And I can hear 'em
    If you're hearing screams
    Come back, child, come back
    My hands are dry

    Too many words, too many words
    And I can hear 'em

      I don't mean to be rude or insensitive, but why? I understand when lonely people commit suicide. But when people are together, I think any setbacks and obstacles are more bearable. She could lean on you, confide in you, relieve... I'm sorry, maybe it gets a little better after a while. I hope so...

    This song has a timeless sound, I discovered the album around 2004 whilst blog hopping and ripping whole albums of MP3s, and assumed it was a recent release. I remember being in Ibiza surrounded by all the club music, and would lay on the beach listening to this on repeat, I'd never heard a song pierce right into my brain and soul like this.

    So much of the music Low makes is familiar the first time I hear it, yet I still discern new places every time I listen. I'm one of those people who listens on repeat. As I grow older, learn more, Low's music has more to say to me. How do you do that ? You have toured and given so much this last year. Thank you and bless always dear Mimi. Love and condolence to Alan, your family, and all of us really. ☮️💜.

    First time I heard this I was walking along a path near my office. I had had to give up my cat that day for reasons that would take too long to explain, barely getting a chance to say goodbye. I had also gotten into an argument with my girlfriend that day and was underperforming at work. Not having a great day, in short.
    I work 2nd shift so it was getting dark. As I walked slowly along the path by the shore I watched the city lights across the Bay blink on as the sky turned a deep purple. This song was playing, having come on as a recommended song after my playlist ended. It just fit. It all fit so well it made me feel a little better that day. Thank you for that.

Low are so very underrated.
