It Ain't Like That Songtext
von Alice in Chains

There I was, laid out on a table
Screamin′, sweat and bare feet to the floor
In my life, I'd not soften
Things that cut and burn so often
But I sit, think of somethin′
Scared to face the dyin' nothin'

See the cycle I′ve waited for
It ain′t like that anymore


Where I go is when I feel I'm able
How I fight is why I′m feelin' sore
In my mind, not forgotten
Feel as though a tooth were rotten
Behind the smile a tongue that′s slippin'
Buzzards cry when flesh is rippin′

See the cycle I've waited for
It ain't like that anymore

Here I sit, writing on the paper
Tryin′ to think of words you can′t ignore
In my eyes, what I'm lackin′
Score at face, a ten for slackin'
Sign the deal, set in motion
Smaller fish, so huge the ocean

See the cycle I′ve waited for
It ain't like that anymore
See the cycle I′ve waited for
It ain't like that anymore
