Lyrics for Song: It Ain't Like That
Lyrics for Album: 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]

It Ain't Like That
It Ain't Like That stands as a defining track from Alice in Chains' 1999 compilation, Music Bank. Released during a transitional period for the band, the song captures the heavy, sludgy atmosphere that characterized their later work. The recording features the distinctive vocal interplay between Jerry Cantrell and Layne Staley, blending gritty rock textures with the band's signature melancholic tone. As part of a collection that also includes tracks like Nutshell and Down In A Hole, this song highlights the group's ability to maintain a dark, introspective sound even as their lineup and circumstances shifted. The track remains a staple for fans exploring the band's extensive catalogue, offering a concise example of their unique fusion of grunge and hard rock elements that influenced the genre. |
