It Ain't Like That Lyrics by Alice In Chains
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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'

[CHORUS]
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'

[CHORUS]

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

[CHORUS]
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'      [CHORUS]   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'      [CHORUS]      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      [CHORUS]
