"Black Gives Way To Blue" (2009)



All Secrets Known lyrics - alice in chains

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,
Trust 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 lyrics - alice in chains

And 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 alright
Somebody check my brain

I walk these streets, A creep in a fog oh yeah...
When she sang I answered the call, oh yeah...

California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain
California's alright
Somebody check my brain

Tears have filled my bong...
Years expended gone...

I hung my guns and put 'em away, oh yeah...
A trick of the trade and by the way, oh yeah...

California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain
California's alright
Somebody check my brain

Tears have filled my bong,
Years expended gone.
Tears have filled my bong,
Years expended gone.

Check my brain [x3]

Last Of My Kind lyrics - alice in chains

So young so brazen so unholy
I come to you in painted skies
Your broken saint, your ancient story
The living challenge to their 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...
Smash 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 wold 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

I'm trapped in the cold outside
There ain't no shelter
They wanna force my hand
'Till I...

Take what I wanted, and
Break all the lies that they
Feed, the fuckin' liars...
Smash 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...

Last of my kind still standing
Last of my kind still standing...

Your Decision lyrics - alice in chains

Time to change has come and gone
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 lower
And here you stand before us all and say it's over
It's over

It might seem an afterthought
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 lower
And here you stand before us all and say it's over
It's over

A Looking In View lyrics - alice in chains

Hear footsteps creek the floor
The shadows give away
Someone outside the door
Won't let em in

Life damaged kids to crime
A rundown broke machine
That steals your peace of mind
Before you know its gone

Lay down
Lay

Silence burning, hold your tongue
Keep us separate, sullen, dumb

Hiding in a darkness under
Boiling to the surface, stumble fall

A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life
(repeat)

These things I hate in you
Also reflect it seems
Distortion laced with spite
Takes you out of me...

Lay now
Lay

Hiding in the darkness under
Boiling to the surface something
Crawling on your skin, discomfort
Makes you break and run, stumble fall

Looking in view to those on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life
(repeat)

It's why you never tell me whatever's on your mind
It's why you never tell me whatever's on your mind
It's why you never tell me whatever's on your mind
It's why you never tell me whatever's on your mind

A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life
(repeat)

Its why you never tell me whatever's on your mind

When The Sun Rose Again lyrics - alice in chains

Run
Run 'til you drop
Hide
Everyone knows

We all trade in never befores
Selling out for the score

Pray
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 prophesized, 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 prophesized, all of this would end
Were you burned away when the sun rose again

Acid Bubble lyrics - alice in chains

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

Intent 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

Intent obsolescence
Built into the system

Lesson Learned lyrics - alice in chains

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 lyrics - alice in chains

Here I am again
I feel time is draggin' on
Aren't you getting tired of me?
Whinging 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
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 lyrics - alice in chains

Give away a love
And then remove another too
Painted words adorn the walls
Echoing untrue

I feel cold... uh huh

Promises abound,
You rarely find it to begin
Maybe I'm afraid to let you
All the way in

I guess so... uh huh

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... uh huh

Flowers on a cross remain
Mark an ending scene
Damn it all if blood you spill
Turn the grass more green

Life is short... uh huh

I excuse myself,
I'm used to my little cell
I amuse myself,
In my very own private hell

Black Gives Way To Blue lyrics - alice in chains

I don't want to 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
Curtain's drawn now it's done.
Silencing all tomorrows.

Forcing a goodbye...

Lay down, black gives way to blue
Lay down, I'll remember you

"Alice In Chains" (1995)



Grind lyrics - alice in chains

In the darkest hole
You'd be well advised
Not to plan my funeral before the
Body Dies

Come the morning light
It's a see-through show
What you may have heard and
What you think you know

Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside

Sure to play a part
So you love the game
And in truth your lies
Become one and same

I could set you free
Rather hear the sound
Of your body breaking
As I take you down

Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside

In the darkest hole
You'd be well advised
Not to plan my funeral before the
Body dies

Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside

Brush Away lyrics - alice in chains

I could use some
Time to curl away
My aggression
Is where you stake
Your claim
Why I question
This curve on which you grade
My conception
A joke? Or latest craze?

I try to get away
And yet I stick around
So fall and crawl away
And brush away loose ground

My intention
Can I arrive at eight
Lie and dream some
Surprise you guys I'm late
All right, correction, forgetting something
Wait

I try to get away
And yet I stick around
So fall and crawl away
And brush away loose ground

And brush away loose ground
And brush away
