[Verse 1]
I believe them bones are me
Some say we're born into the grave

[Chorus]
I feel so alone
Gonna end up a big ol' pile of them bones

[Verse 2]
Dust rise right on over my time
Empty fossil of the new scene

[Chorus]
I feel so alone
Gonna end up a big ol' pile of them bones

[Guitar Solo]

Yeah!

[Verse 3]
Toll due, bad dream come true
I lie dead gone under red sky

[Chorus]
I feel so alone
Gonna end up a big ol' pile of them
I feel so alone
Gonna end up a big ol' pile of them
I feel so alone
Gonna end up a big ol' pile of them bones

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.
