[Verse 1]
Be what you wanna be
See what you came to see
Been what you wanna be
I don't like what I see

[Chorus]
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter will
Heaven beside you, hell within
And you think you have it still
Heaven inside you

[Bridge]
So there's problems in your life
That's fucked up
And I'm not blind
I'm just see-through, faded
Super jaded
And out of my mind

[Verse 2]
Do what you wanna do
Go out and seek your truth
When I'm down and blue
Rather be me than you

[Chorus]
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter will
Heaven beside you, hell within
And you wish you had it still
Heaven inside you

[Bridge]
So there's problems in your life
That's fucked up
And I'm not blind
I'm just see-through, faded
Super jaded
And out of my mind

[Chorus]
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter will
Heaven beside you, hell within
And you know you have it still
Heaven inside you

[Outro]
So there's problems in your life
That's fucked up
But you're not blind
You're just see-through, faded
Overrated
And out of your mind

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.
