Alice In Chains

IT AIN'T LIKE THAT
there i was, laid out on the table
screamin' sweat and bare feet to the floor
in my life, i'd not soften
things that cut, and burn so often
but i sit, think of somethin'
scared to face, the dyin' nothin'
see the cycle i've waited for
it ain't like that anymore
where i go is when i'm able
how i fight is why i'm feelin' sore
in my sight, not forgotten
feel as though, a tooth were rotten
behind the smile, a tongue that's slippin'
buzzards cry, when flesh is rippin'
see the cycle i've waited for
it ain't like that anymore
here i sit writing on paper
trying to make the words you can't ignore
in my mind, what i'm lacking
score at face, a ten for slacking
sign the deal, set in motion
smaller fish, so huge the ocean
see the cycle i've waited for
it ain't like that anymore
see the cycle i've waited for
it ain't like that anymore
