Owe...Oh yeah...
Owe...Oh yeah...
Owe
You insult me in my home
You're forgiven this time
Things go well, you're eyes dilate
You shake, and I'm high
Look in my eyes deep and watch
The clouds change with time
20 hours won't print
My picture milk carton size
Carton size, carton size, carton size
Call me up congratulations
Ain't the real why
There's no pressures besides brilliance
Let's say by day 9
And this corporate ignorance lets
Me control time
By the way, by the way (echo)
Once again you see an in
Discolored skin gives you away
So afraid you kindly gurgle out a date
For me
Owe...Oh yeah...
Owe...Oh yeah...
Owe
Now the body of one soul I adore
Wants to die
You have always told me you'd
Not live past 25
I say stay long enough to repay
all who caused strife
Once again you see an in
Discolored skin gives you away
So afraid you kindly gurgle out a date
For me
Once again you see an in
Discolored skin gives you away
So afraid you kindly gurgle out a date
For me
Owe...Oh yeah...
Owe...Oh yeah
(Indistinct prattle)
Your weapon is guilt
Your weapon is guilt
Your weapon is guilt
Guilt...
Owe...Oh yeah...
Owe
You insult me in my home
You're forgiven this time
Things go well, you're eyes dilate
You shake, and I'm high
Look in my eyes deep and watch
The clouds change with time

My picture milk carton size
Carton size, carton size, carton size
Call me up congratulations
Ain't the real why
There's no pressures besides brilliance
Let's say by day 9
And this corporate ignorance lets
Me control time
By the way, by the way (echo)
Once again you see an in
Discolored skin gives you away
So afraid you kindly gurgle out a date

Your weapon is guilt

Sludge Factory
Alice in Chains' "Sludge Factory" stands as a defining track from their 1996 MTV Unplugged session, showcasing the band's signature grunge sound stripped to its acoustic core. The song features Layne Staley's haunting vocals and the group's characteristic interplay between melodic guitar lines and heavier distortion. Released during a pivotal era for the Seattle scene, the recording captures the raw emotional intensity that made their live performances legendary. It serves as a testament to the band's ability to blend melodic sensibilities with the aggressive energy typical of their discography, offering a powerful alternative to their studio recordings.
