It Ain't Like That

Alice In Chains · Music Bank [1999]

There I was, laid out on a 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'



[CHORUS]

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'



[CHORUS]



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



[CHORUS]
