Alice in Chains - It Ain't Like That

There I was laid out on a table
Screamin', sweatin' 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 feel I'm able
How I fight is why I'm feelin' sore
In my mind, 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 the paper
Trying to think of words you can't ignore
In my eyes 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
