Tears Have Filled My Bong

Alice in Chains' "Black Gives Way to Blue" album cover. [Formatted]

So I found myself in the sun
It’s a hell of a place to end a run

California, I’m fine
Somebody check my brain
California is all right
Somebody check my brain

Check my brain

I walk these streets, I creep and I fall
And when she sang, I answered the call

California, I’m fine
Somebody check my brain
California is all right
Somebody check my brain

Tears have filled my bong
Years expended—gone

I hung my guns and put em away
A trick of the trade, and by the way

California, I’m fine
Somebody check my brain
California is all right
Somebody check my brain

Tears have filled my bong
Years expended—gone

Check my brain

The Truth Is, To Some Degree, We All Steal

Going down: a last act scene
Curtain call, begin bowing
Self-appointed abuse king
We’re hellbound, that’s my belief

Black eat white
Catch that thrill
Whatever comes, eat your fill
Choke on the bones
It’s a flowing stream that has long stilled
The truth is, to some degree, we all steal

Hey now
Come round
We’re hellbound and going way down

Justified: a self-made man
All I do is do what I can
My edges were sharpened with blasted sand
I’m a bizarre and devoted fan

Black eat white
Catch that thrill
Whatever comes, eat your fill
Choke on the bones
The flowing theme is blown will
The truth is, to some degree, we all steal

Hey now
Come round
We’re hellbound and going to stay down

Washington: a fishbelly rust
A sad chapter, I read the last page first

Black eat white
Catch that thrill
Whatever comes, eat your fill
Choke on the bones
Our flowing dream now killed
The truth is, to some degree, we all steal

Hey now
Come round
We’re hellbound and going way down

Album Haul, October 2018 Edition

Somehow, I have purchased Michael Jackson’s Dangerous album at least three times in my life, and Bad, Thriller and Off the Wall at least twice. These are great albums, but this is the last time I will ever buy them (hopefully).
