I grew up in the country, listening to all types of music. Anything from Hank Jr to Eminem. But one thing that was jammed in my neck of the woods was Alice In Chains. And the way Layne Staley sang grabbed you and made you listen to what he was saying. It made you actually feel the words and that inspires me to write about what I feel. And I want people just to hear it. And we chase misprinted lies And we face that path of time And yet I fight, and yet I fight this battle all alone No one to cry to, no place to call home Oooh... Oooh... Oooh... Oooh... My gift of self is raped And my privacy is raked And yet I find, and yet I find Repeating in my head If I can't be my own, I'd feel better dead Oooh... Oooh... Oooh... Oooh...
