:::: Wake Up
Lyrics by Layne Staley
Music by Staley, McCready, Martin, Saunders

Wake up young man, it's time to wake up
Your love affair has got to go
For 10 long years, for 10 long years
The leaves to rake up
Slow suicide's no way to go, oh
Blue, clouded grey
You're not a crack up
Dizzy and weakened by the haze
Moving onward
So an infection not a phase
Yeah, oh

The cracks and lines from where you gave up
They make an easy man to read, oh
For all the times you let them bleed you
For little peace from God you plead, and beg
For little peace from God you plead
Ahhaahh, Yeah, Ahhaahh, Yeah, Ahhaahh, Yeah

Wake up young man, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Oh, yeah

Wake up young man, it's time to wake up
Your love affair has got to go, yeah
For 10 long years, for 10 long years,
The leaves to rake up
Slow suicide's no way to go, oh
Slow suicide's no way to go
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up

:::: Просыпайся
Текст Лэйна Стэйли
Музыка - Стэйли, МакКриди, Мартин, Сэундэрс

Проснись молодой человек, время просыпаться
Твой любовный роман должен начаться
В течении 10 долгих лет, в течении 10 долгих лет
Собирать опавшие листья
Медленное самоубийство это не выход, о
Синий, мрачно-серый
Ты не сломлен
Потрясённый и ослабленный туманом
Двигаешься верёд
Так моральное разложение это не этап
Да, о

Царапины и полосы там, где ты сдался
Их легко разобрать другому человеку, о
Каждый раз ты даешь им выдать себя
Чтобы выпросить у Бога немного покоя, и умоляешь
Чтобы выпросить у Бога немного покоя
Ааааа, да, аааа, дааа, ааааа, да

Проснись молодой человек, просыпайся, просыпайся
Просыпайся, просыпайся, просыпайся, просыпайся
О, да

Проснись молодой человек, время просыпаться
Твой любовный роман должен начаться
В течении 10 долгих лет, в течении 10 долгих лет
Собирать опавшие листья
Медленное самоубийство это не выход, о
Медленное самоубийство это не выход
Просыпайся, просыпайся, просыпайся
Просыпайся, просыпайся, просыпайся


:::: X-Ray Mind
Lyrics by Layne Staley
Music by Staley, McCready, Martin, Saunders


Do the laughs die when
One such as I run
And allow myself
Time for own true needs
When convincing me
That you're on my team
May not lie to me
But not mentioning

So sit back and have
An hysterical
Laugh at tiny holes
Buy and trade men's souls

X-ray mind reads plenty
Worth no more than pennies

You, they, it or what
Have been fair, I thought
May you never free
You from you or me
See the more I think
I'm afraid to blink
I don't move an inch
Slowly draining me

Hire a spy and bug me
Pimp your friends for money
Rich and growing sicker
Sell the dead ones quicker


:::: River Of Deceit
Lyrics by Layne Staley
Music by Staley, McCready, Martin, Saunders


My pain is self-chosen
At least, so The Prophet says
I could either burn
Or cut off my pride and buy some time
A head full of lies is the weight, tied to my waist

The River of Deceit pulls down, oh oh
The only direction we flow is down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down

My pain is self-chosen
At least I believe it to be
I could either drown
Or pull off my skin and swim to shore
Now I can grow a beautiful shell for all to see

The River of Deceit pulls down, yeah
The only direction we flow is down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down

The pain is self-chosen, yeah
Our pain is self-chosen


:::: I'm Above
Lyrics by Layne Staley
Music by Martin, McCready, Staley, Lanegan


For clear space and soundess of mind
I've let you play me for some time
One can only receive and retain
But the lies you recite for your gain

So you rely on my faith in your kind
Or rather continue to pretend that I'm blind
You say I made your life a living hell
And yet still let me pay you when I fell

How is it you're feeling so uneasy?
How is it that I feel fine?
Life reveals what is dealt through seasons
Circle comes around each time
I've been blessed with eyes to see this
Behind the unwhole truth you hide
Bite to remind the bitten, bigger
Mouth repaying tenfold wide

I'm above
Over you I'm standing above
Claiming unconditional love
Above

Try to keep bad blood in the past
Never thought a chance, a chance it would last
I have strength enough, enough to forgive
I desire peace where I live

I've been blessed with eyes to see this
Behind the unwhole truth you hide
Bite to remind the bitten, bigger
Mouth repaying tenfold wide
How is it you're feeling so uneasy?
How is it that I feel fine?
Life reveals what is dealt through seasons
Circle comes around each time

I'm above
Over you I'm standing above
Claiming unconditional love
Above

I'm above
Over you I'm standing above
Claiming unconditional love
Above

I'm above
Over you I'm standing above
Claiming unconditional love
Above


:::: Artificial Red
Lyrics by Layne Staley
Music by Staley, McCready, Martin, Saunders

Artificial red, smoke, poison consumed
In the House of Ill Repute
Is this the way I spend my days
In recovery of a fatal disease?

Oooh... Oooh...
Oooh... Oooh...

On a cloud of pink has turned to grey
And I'm alone again, yeah
Someone to hold against my own
Alone, untouched is what I crave

Oooh... Oooh...
Oooh... Oooh...

Artificial red, smoke, poison consumed
In the House of Ill Repute
Is this the place I search for love
When my need is within me, a gift from above?

Oooh... Oooh...
Oooh... Oooh...

:::: Искуcственная краснота
Текст Лэйна Стэйли
Музыка - Стэйли, МакКриди, Мартин, Сэундэрс

Искусственная краснота, дым, употребляемый яд
В Доме с Плохой Репутацией
Это то, на что я трачу свои дни,
Излечивая неизлечимую болезнь?

Оооо... Оооо...
Оооо... Оооо...

На розовом облаке, становящемся серым
И снова я один, о да
Кто-то удерживает меня против моей же воли
Одного, оставьте меня - вот чего я желаю

Оооо... Оооо...
Оооо... Оооо...

Искусственная краснота, дым, употребляемый яд
В Доме с Плохой Репутацией
И это место, где я искал любви,
Когда моя потребность была внутри, дар свыше?

Оооо... Оооо...
Оооо... Оооо...


:::: Lifeless Dead
Lyrics by Layne Staley
Music by Staley, McCready, Martin, Saunders


Lifeless dead, that unclean bed
Till or when her hunger's fed
How he'd wished that they would wed
"I promise on our love" she said
Promises were never kept
Alone on dirty floor he slept

Yeah, Lifeless Dead

And although he'd not accept
She was gone and so he wept
Then a demon came to him
"You must know I'm gonna win"

Yeah, Lifeless Dead

He said, she said
She led him dead
He said we bled
She said not fed

Lifeless Dead, Lifeless Dead
Lifeless Dead, Lifeless Dead...


:::: I Don't Know Anything
Lyrics by Layne Staley
Music by Staley, McCready, Martin, Saunders

I don't know anything
I don't know anything
I don't know anything
I don't know who I am

I don't know anything
I don't know anything
I don't know anything
I don't know who I am

Why we have to live in so much hate everyday? Oh yeah
Why the fighting and the coming down, am I sane?
I don't know, yeah

I don't know anything
I don't know anything
I don't know anything
I don't know who to be

I don't know anything
I don't know anything
I don't know anything
I don't know who I am

Why we have to live in so much hate everyday? Oh yeah
Why the fighting and the coming down, am I sane?
I don't know
When the teacher put the ruler down on my hand
I laugh!
Cross my heart and hide reliever in trails of blood,
I love?!?

I don't know anything
I don't know anything
I don't know anything
I don't know who I am

I don't know anything
I don't know anything
I don't know anything
I don't know who to be

Why we have to live in so much hate everyday? Oh yeah
Why the fighting and the coming down, am I sane?
I don't know
When the teacher put the ruler down on my hand
I laugh!
Cross my heart and hide reliever in trails of blood,
I love?!?

:::: Я ничего не знаю
Текст Лэйна Стэйли
Музыка - Стэйли, МакКриди, Мартин, Сэундэрс

Я ничего не знаю
Я ничего не знаю
Я ничего не знаю
Я не знаю кто я

Я ничего не знаю
Я ничего не знаю
Я ничего не знаю
Я не знаю кто я

Почему мы должны жить в такой лжи каждый день? О, да!
Почему борюсь и проигрываю, в порядке ли я?
Я не знаю, да

Я ничего не знаю
Я ничего не знаю
Я ничего не знаю
Я не знаю кем быть

Я ничего не знаю
Я ничего не знаю
Я ничего не знаю
Я не знаю кто я

Почему мы должны жить в такой лжи каждый день? О, да!
Почему борюсь и проигрываю, в порядке ли я?
Я не знаю
Когда учитель бил линейкой по моей руке
Я смеялся!
Рассеку своё сердце и скрою облегчение* в следах крови,
Я люблю?!

:::: Long Gone Day
Lyrics by Layne Staley and Mark Lanegan
Music by Martin, McCready, Staley, Lanegan


So much blood I'm starting to drown
Runs from cold to colder
Time to time the sky's come down
To help me lose my way
Tears and lies for answers
You and open veins, God knows I'm gone
Girl I just want you to
Come on down
Lord it's a storm and I'm heading to fall
These sins are mine and I've done wrong, oh babe
Come on down

Long Gone Day
Mmmm, who ever said
We wash away with the rain

See you all from time to time
Isn't it so strange
How far away we all are now
Am I the only one who remembers that summer
Oh, I remember
Everyday each time the place was saved
The music that we made
The wind has carried all of that away

Long gone day
Mmmm, who ever said
We wash away with the rain

So many tears I'm starting to drown
The rain in heaven's all come down
Silver spoons affix the crown
The luckless ones are broken
Fears and lies for answers
You and open flames
God knows I'm gone
And I just want you to
Come on down, hmmm

Lord it's a storm and I'm heading to fall
These sins are mine and I've done wrong
I want you to, oh, I just want you to
Come on down

I fear again, like then, I've lost my way
And shout to God to bring my sunny day
