[Verse 1]
Some things last, sometimes you never get over
Live in the past, you find out it's hard to stay sober
My see-through skin like urethane
Lost and then found, on view for all and I wouldn't trade

[Pre-Chorus]
You'd never know a long time ago you were frowning
Thinkin' it over
It's raining down, and somehow you know

[Chorus]
It reminds me why I even care anymore
You can find me writhing in the ghost of a song
Rising through the Rainier fog

[Verse 2]
Some people change, sometimes you leave how it oughta be
Find a new way to come clean, let it wash over me
My see-through heart like urethane
Beats for you proud, up down and through all the love and pain

[Pre-Chorus]
You'd never know a long time ago you were crowning
Thinkin' it over
It's raining down, and somehow you know

[Chorus]
It reminds me why I even care anymore
You can find me writhing in the ghost of a song
Rising through the Rainier fog

[Bridge]
Left me here so all alone, only for me to find
Hear your voice on waves we rode, echoes inside my mind
Disembodied, just a trace of what it was like then
With you here, we shared a space that's always half empty
Grinding, grinding on
Always half empty
Grinding, grinding on
Always half empty

[Verse 3]
So we can laugh, it's inside, never hear me complain
My see-through city of cellophane
You'd never know a long time ago you were drowning
Thinking it over
It's raining down, and somehow you know

[Pre-Chorus]
It reminds me why I even care anymore
You can find me writhing in the ghost of a song
Rising through the Rainier fog

[Chorus]
Reminds me why I even care anymore
You can find me writhing in the ghost of a song
Rising through the Rainier fog

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.
