Alice In Chains – Frogs

Cantrell Staley Inez and Kinney

What does friend mean to you?

A word so wrongfully abused

Are you like me, confused

All included but you

Alone…

The sounds of silence often soothe

Shapes and colors shift with mood

Pupils widen and change their hue

Rapid brown avoid clear blue

Why’s it have to be this way

Be this way

Flowers watched through wide brown eyes bloom

A child sings an unclaimed tune

Innocence spins cold cocoon

Grow to see the pain too soon

Why’s it have to be this way

Be this way (5x)

“At 7 am on a Tuesday, usual August …

Next week I’ll be 28…

I’m still young, it’ll be me…

Off the wall I scrape… you…

I can’t wake, I gotta wake…

To cause this wake, I gotta wake no more…

It causes wake, to drown this hate….

To never really stay, never will…..

You take your plate…

Put me through hell, live, live…

Direct your fate…

You say I can do it so well…

Your expiration date…

Fate, date, expiration date…

(this was the last time)

Hate…

And don’t fuck with me again…

My own clean slate…

Don’t fuck with me again…

Makes your eyes dilate…

Makes you shake…

Irate…”
