Black Gives Way to Blue
All Secrets Known
Hope,
A new beginning
Time,
Time to start living
Like just before we died
There's no going back
To the place we started from
Hurt,
Falling through fingers
Trust,
Thrust in the feeling
There's something left inside
There's no going back
To the place we started from
All secrets known...
Calm,
All wounds are healing
Strong,
Truth is worth saving
I want to feel alive
There's no going back
To the place we started from
All secrets known...
Check My Brain
So I found myself in the sun, oh yeah
A hell of a place to end a run, oh yeah
California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain
California's all right
Somebody check my brain
Check my brain
I walk these streets, I creep and I fall, oh yeah
When she sang I answered the call, oh yeah
California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain
California's all right
Somebody check my brain
Ahhhhhhh
Tears that filled my bowl
Ahhhhhhh
Years expended gone
I hung my guns and put 'em away, oh yeah
The trick of the trade, and by the way, oh yeah
California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain
California's all right
Somebody check my brain
Ahhhhhhh
Tears that filled my bowl
Ahhhhhhh
Years expended gone
Ahhhhhhh
Tears that filled my bowl
Ahhhhhhh
Years expended gone
Check my brain (x3)
Last of My Kind
I come to you in painted skies
Your broken saint, your ancient story
The living challenge to your lies
Trapped in the cold outside
There ain't no shelter
They wanna force my hand
Until I...
Take what I wanted, and
Break all the lies that they
Feed the fuckin' liars...
Smach all the temples, and
Crawl through the rubble, and
Cry to the fallen
I'm the last of my kind still standing
I'm the last of my kind still standing down the law
A wolf alone upon the hillside
I live on what they throw away
I go to sleep behind the eight ball
I live to fight for one more day
Trapped in the cold outside
There ain't no shelter
They wanna force my hand
Until I...
Take what I wanted, and
Break all the lies that they
Feed the fuckin' liars...
Smach all the temples, and
Crawl through the rubble, and
Cry to the fallen
I'm the last of my kind still standing
I'm the last of my kind still standing down the law
I'm the last of my kind still standing...
I'm the last of my kind still standing...
Watched your fears become your god
It's your decision
It's your decision
Overwhelmed, you chose to run
Apathetic to the stunned
It's your decision
It's your decision
You feed the fire that burned us all
When you lied
To feel the pain that spurs you on
Black inside
No-one plans to take the path that brings you nowhere
Here you stand before us all and say it's over
It's over
It might seem an after thought
Yes it hurts to know you're bought
It's your decision
It's your decision
You feed the fire that burned us all
When you lied
To feel the pain that spurs you on
Black inside
It's your decision
It's your decision
No-one plans to take the path that brings you nowhere
Here you stand before us all and say it's over
It's over
It's over
The shadows give away
Someone outside the door
Won't let 'em in
Half damaged gears to grind
A run down broke machine
That steals your peace of mind
Before you know it's gone
Lay doubt, weight
Silence burning, hold your tongue
Keep a separate soul they'd know
Hiding in the dark that's under
Pulling to the surface
Stumble, fall
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense and alone I...
H-i-i-i-i-i-i-d-e
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense and alone I...
H-i-i-i-i-i-i-d-e
[Savagely wicked restart]
These things I hate in you
Also reflect it seems
Distortion laced with spite
Takes you out of me
Late now, laid
Hiding in the darkness under
Pulling to the surface
Somethin' crawling on your skin
Discomfort makes you break and run
Stumble, fall
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense and alone I... h-i-i-i-i-i-d-e
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense and alone I...
H-i-i-i-i-i-d-e
It's why you never tell me heaven's on your mind
It's why you never tell me heaven's on your mind
That's why you'll never tell me heaven's on your mind
That's why you'll never tell me heaven's on your mind
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense and alone I...
H-i-i-i-i-d-e
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense and alone I...
H-i-i-i-i-d-e
It's why you never tell me heaven's on your mind
A vengeful mind...
Oh god oooooh
Selfish plans, a vengeful mind
It's all gone
Oooooh
Except for the cross
A vengeful mind just reached inside
Hide, everyone knows
We all trade in never-befores
Selling out for the score
Prey, squeal when you're caught
Cry, it's not my fault
Time to trade in never-befores
Selling out for the score
It seems you prophesised all of this would end
Were you burned away when the sun rose again?
Hate, long wearing thin
Negative, all you've been
Time to trade in never-befores
Selling out for the score
It seems you prophesised all of this would end
Were you burned away when the sun rose again?
It seems you prophesised all of this would end
Were you burned away when the sun rose again?
Acid Bubble
You tried to kill me off
Surprised I remain
A scale tips impossible
Afraid of my own name
And I always paid attention to all the lines you crossed
Forgive this imperfection it shows and know
I am the child that lives and cries in a corner
Dies in a corner
Alone inside your mind
Intend obsolescence
Built into the system
I tried to shake it off
You can't remove this stain
A scale breaks impossible
Afraid we are the same
And you never paid attention to all the lines I crossed
Forgive this imperfection it shows and know
I am the child that lives and cries in a corner
Dies in a corner
Alone inside your mind
Hides in a corner
Dies in a corner
Alone inside your mind
Intend obsolescence
Built into the system
Lesson Learned
Just another lesson learned
Wear a scar, a bore repeating
Take a simple fateful turn
Opened up to stop the bleeding
Feeling like you never could
Been the disconnected frying
Hit the vein & 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 & 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
Take Her Out
Here I am again
I feel time is draggin on
Aren't you getting tired of me?
Whinching overdrawn
Faceless, blind
Want to take her out again
She's not just mine
Want to take her out again
In a bodiless embrace
Thriving I have grown
Fickle changing grip replaced
Choking take it all
Faceless, blind
Want to take her out again
She's not just mine
Want to take her out again
Dedicated, true to form
Still the only one
https://www.elyricsworld.com/take_her_out_lyrics_alice_in_chains.html
Only guarantee
Continue after I am done
Faceless, blind
Want to take her out again
She's not just mine
Want to take her out again
Private Hell
Give away your love and then remove another tomb
Painted words adorn the walls, echoing untrue
I feel cold...
Promises abound, you rarely find it to begin
Maybe I'm afraid to let you all the way in
I guess so...
I excuse myself
I'm used to my little cell
I amuse myself
In my very own private hell
I excuse myself
I'm used to my little cell
I amuse myself
In my very own private hell
Lately I'm beside myself, pretending unconcerned
Standing at a corner where I threw you on a turn
I'll move on...
Flowers on a cross remain, marking an ending scene
Damn it all if blood you spill, turn the grass more green
Life is short...
I excuse myself
I'm used to my little cell
I amuse myself
In my very own private hell
I amuse myself
In my very own private hell
Black Gives Way to Blue
I don't wanna feel no more
It's easier to keep falling
Imitations are pale
Emptiness all tomorrows
Haunted by your ghost
Lay down, black gives way to blue
Lay down, I'll remember you
Fading out by design
Consciously avoiding changes
Curtains drawn now it's done
Silencing all tomorrows
Forcing a goodbye
Lay down, black gives way to blue
Lay down, I'll remember you...
