Breath on a WindowAlice in Chains

Released: May 28, 2013

Songwriter: Jerry Cantrell

Producer: Alice in Chains Nick Raskulinecz

[Verse 1]
Mended fence along the road
Barely holding together
Mapless zone the road signs hold
Keep ahead of the weather
Long past time to close dead eyes
Find a break in the highway
Out here I'm invisible
Very few going my way

[Chorus]
Breath on a window
Showing tic-tac-toe
Rear view reflecting
There ain't nobody home

[Verse 2]
Ghost town strip of misery
I ain't feeling no better
Road kill heart inside of me
Follow it to the letter
Sundown brings a welcome change
Everything that's hiding
More at home in landscapes strange
Are you selling? I'm buying

[Chorus]
Breath on a window
Showing tic-tac-toe
Rear view reflecting
There ain't nobody home
Cigarette burn holes
Outline an old soul
Connect the dot scribbling
And you would never know

[Bridge]
Failed to heed the signal
Thought you got through just in time
Crashing hard upon your ego
Penetrated from the side

[Outro]
I'd let you go, but you're always in the way
I'm the damage done, your scar of yesterday
I'd let you go, but you're always in the way
I'm the damage done, your scar of yesterday
I'd let you go, but you're always in the way
I'm the damage done, your scar of yesterday
I'd let you go, but you're always in the way
I'm the damage done, your scar of yesterday
I'd love to go, but you're always in the way
I'm the damage done, your scar of yesterday
I'd love to go, but you're always in the way
I'm the damage done, your scar of yesterday
I'd love to go, but you're always in the way
I'm the damage done, your scar of yesterday
I'd love to go, but you're always in the way
I'm the damage done, your scar of yesterday

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.
