As a tribute to Layne Staley's recent death, these are the lyrics to my absolute favorite Alice in Chains song.
Hold out a lighter or something.
And sing along..

When I waken
And I'm achin'
Time for sleepin, yeah
When I'm sayin
Time to go and
I've been hurtin, yeah
When I'm layin
I'm still tryin
concentrating on dyin', yeah
You're right as rain
But you're wrong to blame
Agreed my crime's the same
My sins I'll claim
Give you back shed pain
Go find a place for own shame
So you can deal
With this thing unreal
No one made you feel any hurt, yeah
Body's movin
Only provin
No one heeds to move
Still believin
Yet mistaken
All God's children, yeah
And I must say
I was stupid
Selfishly she consumed, yeah
And you must change
Patterns all we trained
Or n'er regain peace you seek
Now you hear me
For the things I see
Yeah, I believe in inner peace, yeah
Throw out
Blow up
Hold in
Show fine
No signs
Grow blind
