Alice In Chains

Nutshell is a song by American rock band Alice in Chains that originally appeared on the band's 1994 EP Jar of Flies. The band played it on MTV Unplugged in 1996, and this rendition of the song was included on both the box set Music Bank (1999) and the compilation album The Essential Alice in Chains (2006). Since 2011, guitarist/vocalist Jerry Cantrell dedicates Nutshell to Alice in Chains' late original members Layne Staley and Mike Starr during the band's concerts. Lyrics: [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] We chase misprinted lies We face the 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 [Refrain] Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh [Verse 2] My gift of self is raped 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 [Refrain] Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh [Guitar Solo]

The Essential Alice in Chains is a two-disc compilation album by the rock band Alice in Chains, and part of Sony BMG's The Essential series. Originally scheduled to be released on March 30, 2004, it was delayed until September 5, 2006. The album was reissued in 2010 with different artwork. A DVD with the mockumentary The Nona Tapes came as a bonus disc with the compilation. Overview The third greatest hits release from the band, it proved to be more a definitive collection than the 10-track Greatest Hits collection and the best of/sampler collection, Nothing Safe: Best of the Box, featuring almost all of the band's hits and singles (with the exception of "Bleed the Freak", "Down in a Hole" "Fear the Voices" and "Don't Follow") as well as fan favorites and also two unplugged tracks. The songs "What the Hell Have I" and "A Little Bitter" which were featured on the Last Action Hero movie soundtrack are the Toby Wright remixed versions found on Music Bank. It is the band’s first release since the death of vocalist Layne Staley.

Lyrics: [Verse 1: Layne Staley] I'm the man in the box Buried in my shit [Pre-Chorus: Layne Staley] Won't you come and save me? Save me [Chorus: Layne Staley & Jerry Cantrell] Feed my eyes (Can you sew them shut?) Jesus Christ (Deny your maker) He who tries (Will be wasted) Oh, feed my eyes (Now you've sewn them) shut [Verse 2: Layne Staley] I'm the dog who gets beat Shove my nose in shit [Pre-Chorus: Layne Staley] Won't you come and save me? Save me [Chorus: Layne Staley & Jerry Cantrell] Feed my eyes (Can you sew them shut?) Jesus Christ (Deny your maker) He who tries (Will be wasted) Oh, feed my eyes (Now you've sewn them) shut [Guitar Solo] [Chorus: Layne Staley & Jerry Cantrell] Feed my eyes (Can you sew them shut?) Jesus Christ (Deny your maker) He who tries (Will be wasted) Oh, feed my eyes (Now you've sewn them) shut
