  • I don't wanna feel no more
    It's easier to keep fallin'
    Imitations are pale
    Emptiness all tomorrows
    Haunted by your ghost

    Lay down
    Black gives way to blue
    Lay down
    I'll remember you

    Fading out by design
    Consciously avoiding changes
    Curtain's drawn, now it's done
    Silencing all tomorrows
    Forcing a goodbye

    Lay down
    Black gives way to blue
    Lay down
    I'll remember you Writer/s: Jerry Cantrell
