It Ain't Like That

It Ain't Like That (Live) - Alice In Chains

Written by：Cantrell/Jerry Starr/Michael Kinney/Sean

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

Trying to think of words you can't ignore

In my eyes what I'm lacking

Score at face a ten for slacking

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
