about

Written about Layne Staley of Alice In Chains

lyrics

Honesty forgotten,
Where truth is just a lie,
Faithfulness is rotten,
Emotions can't deny,
Loneliness my friend,
As you left me for dead,
Slow & bitter end,
Coffin as my bed,

The end was coming from the start,
Picked to play the junkie part,
Empty shell of apathy,
See of sorrow drowning me,

I knew i was dying,
Couldn't feel a thing,
No use in denying,
The falling of the king,
Father used his son,
Taught him how to burn,
Not the only one,
Not that hard to learn,

The end was coming from the start,
Picked to play the junkie part,
Empty shell of apathy,
See of sorrow drowning me,

The torture of my veins,
Lies here in my hand,
Overdose on loneliness,
I take my final stand.
