Songwriter: Layne Staley Jerry Cantrell

Producer: Alice in Chains Alex Coletti Toby Wright

[Verse 1]
Sitting on an angry chair
Angry walls that steal the air
Stomach hurts and I don't care
What do I see across the way, hey
See myself molded in clay, oh
Stares at me, yeah I'm afraid, hey
Changing the shape of his face, aw yeah

[Verse 2]
Candles red I have a pair
Shadows dancing everywhere
Burning on the angry chair
Little boy made a mistake
Pink cloud has now turned to gray, oh
All that I want is to play
Get on your knees, time to pray, oh

[Chorus]
I don't mind, yeah
I don't mind, yeah
Lost my mind, yeah
Can't find it anywhere

[Verse 3]
Corporate prison, we stay
I'm a dull boy, work all day
So I'm strung out anyway

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Loneliness is not a phase
Field of pain is where I graze
Serenity is far away
Saw my reflection and cried
So little hope that I died, oh
Feed me your lies, open wide
Weight of my heart, not the size, oh

[Chorus]
I don't mind, yeah
I don't mind, yeah
Lost my mind, yeah
Can't find it anywhere

[Outro]
Pink cloud has now turned to gray
All that I want is to play
Get on your knees time to pray, boy

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.
