[Verse]
Hope, a new beginning
Time, time to start living
Like just before we died

[Chorus]
There's no going back to the place we started from

[Verse 2]
Hurt, falling through fingers
Trust, trust in the feeling
There's something left inside

[Chorus]
There's no going back to the place we started from
All secrets known

[Verse 3]
Calm, old wounds are healing
Strong, truth is worth saving
I want to feel alive

[Chorus]
There's no going back to the place we started from
All secrets known

Alice in Chains

Alice in Chains are a Seattle-based rock band. They rose to international fame in the early 1990s as part of the ‘grunge’ movement. They are one of the most critically and commercially acclaimed acts of the 90s. Their first 3 studio albums all went multi-platinum and they have received 8 Grammy nominations for Best Hard Rock performance (sadly, never winning once).

Their unique sound comes from the harmonized vocals of co-founders Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell, as showcased in some of their biggest songs like “No Excuses” from Jar of Flies, “Angry Chair” from Dirt and “Again” from the self-titled album. Cantrell also serves as the primary songwriter and guitarist of the band.

The band was never restricted to grunge. Cantrell believes it to be heavy metal; and indeed a lot of modern heavy metal bands cite Alice in Chains as an influence, including Metallica for Death Magnetic.
