It Ain't Like That

There I was I 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' 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' See the cycle I've waited for It ain't like that anymore 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 See the cycle I've waited for It ain't like that anymore See the cycle I've waited for It ain't like that anymore --- It Ain't Like That - Alice in Chains
