Black Gives Way To Blue

Alice In Chains Black Gives Way To Blue歌詞
1.All Secrets Known

Broke, a new beginning
Time, time to start living life
Just before we die

There's no going back to the place we started from

Hurts, falling through fingers
Trust, trust in the feeling
There's something left inside

There's no going back to the place we started from

All secrets known

Caught, all wounds are healing
Strong, truth is worth saving
I want to feel alive

There's no going back to the place we started from

All secrets known


2.Check My Brain

So I found myself in the sun, oh yeah
A hell of a place to end a run, oh yeah

California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain
California's all right
Somebody check my brain

Check my brain

I walk these streets, I creep and I fall, oh yeah
When she sang I answered the call, oh yeah

California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain
California's all right
Somebody check my brain

Ahhhhhhh
Tears that filled my bowl
Ahhhhhhh
Years expended gone

I hung my guns and put 'em away, oh yeah
The trick of the trade, and by the way, oh yeah

California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain
California's all right
Somebody check my brain

Ahhhhhhh
Tears that filled my bowl
Ahhhhhhh
Years expended gone
Ahhhhhhh
Tears that filled my bowl
Ahhhhhhh
Years expended gone

Check my brain (x3)


3.Last Of My Kind

So young, so brazen, so unholy
I come to you in disguise
Your broken teacher, ancient story
The living challenge to their lies

Trapped in the cold outside
There ain't no shelter
And they want to force my hand

Until I take what I want
And then break all the lies
That they feed the fucking liars
Smash all the temples
And crawl through the rubble
And cry to the fallen

I'm the last of my kind still standing
I'm alone

Roll over all upon the hillside
I am what they throw away
I go to sleep behind the able
I live to fight for one more day

I'm trapped in the cold outside
There ain't there no shelter
And they want to force my hand

Until I take what I want
And then break all the lies
That they feed the fucking liars
Smash all the temples
And crawl through the rubble
And cry to the fallen

Take what I want
And then break all the lies
That they feed the fucking liars
Smash all the temples
And crawl through the rubble
And cry to the fallen

I'm the last of my kind still standing
I'm alone

I'm the last of my kind still standing
I'm alone

(The last of my kind still standing)


4.Your Decision

Time to change has come and gone
Watched your fears become your god
It's your decision
It's your decision

Overwhelmed, you chose to run
Apathetic to the stunt
It's your decision
It's your decision

You feed the fire that burned us all
When you lie
To feel the pain that spurs you on
Black inside

No one plans to take the path that brings you lower
And here you stand before us all and say it's over
It's over

It might seem an afterthought
Yes, it hurts to know you're bought
It's your decision
It's your decision

You feed the fire that burned us all
When you lie
To feel the pain that spurs you on
Black inside
It's your decision
It's your decision

No one plans to take the path that brings you lower
And here you stand before us all and say it's over
It's over

It's over...


5.A Looking In View

Hear foot steps creek the floor
The shadows give away
Someone outside the door
Won't let em in

Life damaged gives to crime
A run down broke machine
That steals your piece of mind
Before you know it's gone
Lay down Lay

Silence burning on your tongue
Keep us separate
Hiding in the darkest slumber
Boiling to the surface
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense to the low life
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense to the low life

These things I hate in you
Also reflect it seems
Distortion laced with spite
Teach you how to leave
Lay down Lay

Hiding in the darkest slumber
Boiling to the surface
Crawling on your skin discomfort
Makes you brake and run and stumble fall
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense to the low life
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense to the low life

It's why you never tell me (what's on your mind)
It's why you never tell me (what's on your mind)
It's why you never tell me (what's on your mind)
It's why you never tell me (what's on your mind)
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense to the low life
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense to the low life

It's why you never tell me (what's on your mind)


6.When The Sun Rose Again

Run, run 'til you drop
Hide, everyone knows
We all trade in never-befores
Selling out for the score

Prey, sqeal when you're caught
Cry, it's not my fault
Time to trade in never-befores
Selling out for the score

It seems you prophesized
All of this would end
Were you burned away
When the sun rose again?

Hate, long wearing thin
Negative, all you've been
Time to trade in never-befores
Selling out for the score

It seems you prophesized
All of this would end
Were you burned away
When the sun rose again?

It seems you prophesized
All of this would end
Were you burned away
When the sun rose again?

9.Take Her Out

Here I am again
I feel time is dragging on
Are you getting tired of me?
Wenching, overdrawn

Faceless, blind
Want to take her out again
She's not just mine
Want to take her out again

In a body less embraced
Thriving, I have grown
Fickle, changing grip, replace
Choking, take it all

Faceless, blind
Want to take her out again
She's not just mine
Want to take her out again

Dedicated, true to form
Still the only one
Only guarantee
Continue after I am done

Faceless, blind
Want to take her out again
She's not just mine
Want to take her out again

Faceless, blind
Want to take her out again
She's not just mine
Want to take her out again


10.Private Hell

Give away another memory
Move another tomb
Painted words hooked on the walls
Echoing untrue
(I feel cold)

Promises abound
You rarely find them to begin
Maybe I'm afraid
To let you all the way in
(I guess so)

I excuse myself
I'm used to my little cell
I amuse myself
In my very own private hell

I excuse myself
I'm used to my little cell
I amuse myself
In my very own private hell

Lately I'm beside myself
Pretending unconcerned
Standing at a corner
Where I threw you on a turn
(I'll move on)

Flowers on a cross remain
Mark an ending scene
Damn it, all this blood you spilled
Turned the grass more green
(Life is short)

I excuse myself
I'm used to my little cell
I amuse myself
In my very own private hell

I excuse myself
I'm used to my little cell
I amuse myself
In my very own private hell

I amuse myself
In my very own private hell


11.Black Gives Way To Blue

I don't want to feel no more
It's easier to keep falling
Imitation's a veil
Emptiness all
Tommorow's haunted by your ghost

Lay down
Black gives way to blue
Lay down
I remember you

Fading out by your side
Conciously avoiding changes
Curtains drawn now it's done
Silencing all
Tommorow's forcing a goodbye

Lay down
Black gives way to blue
Lay down
I remember you
