[Verse 1]
Silent grief suffocates the room
I feel my breathing speed up at the thought of you
My inner voice seems to want me dead
Only choice to vanish down the trail I bled

[Pre-Chorus]
You're never far away, I always see you
And when it all goes dark you light my way through

[Chorus]
Never fade
I know you think you're someone I forgot
Never fade
I'm everything you really think I'm not
Never fade
I know you think you're someone I forgot
Never fade, yeah

[Verse 2]
Growing cold, try to numb my feeling
Lose control, all my friends are leaving
Paid the price for all the lies I used to live
Sacrifice for all the love I tried to give

[Pre-Chorus]
You're never far away, I always see you
And when it all goes dark you light my way through

[Chorus]
Never fade
I know you think you're someone I forgot
Never fade
I'm everything you really think I'm not
Never fade
I know you think you're someone I forgot
Never fade

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Never fade
I know you think you're someone I forgot
Never fade
I'm everything you really think I'm not
Never fade
I know you think you're someone I forgot
Never fade
I'm everything you really think I'm not

[Outro]
Never fade
Never fade
Never fade

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.
