[Verse 1]
There's no reason
To deny
It's the season
Of the lie
Having someone
Grin at you
Look at little fingers
Pointing truth

[Chorus]
Man it's a weight on my mind
And that's fine
But now we wade past the point of decline
There's no time

[Verse 2]
I'm a believer
In the new
Past receiver
All come true
Look to the east
Filled with hate
Neutral flashers
While we wait

[Chorus]
Man it's a weight on my mind
And that's fine
But now we wade past the point of decline
There's no time

[Verse 3]
I'm an old lover
You're so sane
Who's the answer
Of what I mean
In this ocean
I fell into
Break me out of
The shell I grew

[Chorus]
Man it's a weight on my mind
And that's fine
But now we wade past the point of decline
There's no time
There's no time
(There's no time)
There's no time
(There's no time)
No time
(There's no time)
No time
(There's no time)

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.
