Lesson Learned

Alice In Chains · Black Gives Way To Blue [2009]

Just another lesson learned

Wear a scar, a bore repeating

Take a simple fateful turn

Opened up to stop the bleeding



Feeling you never could

Been the disconnected frying

Hit the vein and struck a nerve

Seeing through a self that's blinding



Nowhere to buy in

Most of us hiding

Others are shining



You know when you find it

In your darkest hour, you strike gold

A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all



Just another lesson learned...



Just another brick you toss

Stone the number one deceiver

Multiply the added cost

Easy to become a believer



Feeling like you never could

Been the disconnected frying

Hit the vein and struck a nerve

Seeing through a self that's blinding



Nowhere to buy in

Most of us hiding

Others are shining



You know when you find it

In your darkest hour, you strike gold

A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all



Just another lesson learned...
