Lying Season
Alice In Chains · Music Bank [1999]
There's no reason
To deny
It's the season
Of the lie
Having someone
Grin at you
Look at little fingers
Pointing truth
Man it's a weight on my mind
And that's fine
But now we wade past the point of decline
There's no time
I'm a believer
In the new
Past receiver
All come true
Look to the east
Filled with hate
Neutral flashers
While we wait
Man it's a weight on my mind
And that's fine
But now we wade past the point of decline
There's no time
I'm an old lover
You're so sane
Who's the answer
Of what I mean
In this ocean
I fell into
Break me out of
The shell I grew
Man it's a weight on my mind
And that's fine
But now we wade past the point of decline
There's no time
There's no time
(There's no time)
There's no time
(There's no time)
No time
(There's no time)
No time
(There's no time)
To deny
It's the season
Of the lie
Having someone

Look at little fingers

Man it's a weight on my mind

Lying Season
Released on Alice In Chains' 1999 album Music Bank, 'Lying Season' exemplifies the band's signature blend of grunge and alternative metal. The track features the group's characteristic interplay between Melvin Denis's melodic vocals and Mike Inez's driving guitar work, set against a backdrop of heavy distortion and rhythmic intensity. As part of the band's discography during this pivotal era, the song reflects the raw emotional depth and sonic aggression that defined their sound in the late 1990s. It stands as a testament to the band's ability to fuse melodic sensibilities with the heavier, more aggressive styles that would later characterize their work on albums like Jar Of Flies and Supersonic.
