Alice In Chains - Nutshell

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]
