[Verse 1]
Sinking below view
Time spent a-wasting
Alone in a full room
Nobody plays in

[Chorus]
I own everything
Whine all set on eleven
I own everything
Cries a soul on fire

[Verse 2]
Hurt does surround you
Blinded and tied on
Numbness engulfs truth
Let bygones be bygones

[Chorus]
I own everything
Whine all set on eleven
I own everything
Cries a soul on fire

[Bridge]
And it tears me in a way
Hangin' over
And I feel it's here to stay
Inner coldness so ingrained

[Verse 3]
Feel like a fake thing
Where did the time go?
Memories worth making
Pass by the window

[Chorus]
I own everything
Whine all set on eleven
I own everything
Cries a soul on fire
A soul on fire

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.
