A Looking in View Songtext
von Alice in Chains

Hear footsteps creak the floor
The shadows give away
Someone outside the door
Won′t let 'em in

Life damaged gears to grind
A run down, broke machine
That steals your peace of mind
Before you know it′s gone...

(Lay down, lay ...)

Silence burning, hold your tongue
Keep us separate, sullen, dumb

Hiding in a darkness under
Boiling to the surface, stumble fall

A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life


These things I hate in you
Also reflect it seems
Distortion laced with spite
Takes you out of me...

Silence burning, hold your tongue
Keep us separate, sullen, dumb

Hiding in a darkness under
Boiling to the surface something
Crawling on your skin, discomfort
Makes you break and run, stumble fall

A looking in view, too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life

It's why you never tell me whatever's on your mind

A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life

It′s why you never tell me whatever′s on your mind
