Song Description

what layne staley's last day may have been like

Lyrics

I hold my hand to my mouth so my gums won't pour out
I (feel my) teeth are so soft they'll fly out if I cough
I (feel my) eyes turning black as they sink to the back
I (feel the) veins in my hands have turned into sand

chorus:
when did you get to the point
of no return
(when did you get to the point)
I'd rather burn
(when did you get to the point)
than live another day with the pain and the shock of the needle

I (feel the) world has dissolved to the shape of these walls
I (feel the) books tha tI read have come true in my head
I (feel the) visions I see are my new reality
I am past the atttention of divine intervention

chorus

when I was a child
you couldn't wipe the smile off my face
now I've come full circle
toothless and ruthless
ready to lay down for good
and return to that place

chorus
