[Verse 1: Layne Staley, Jerry Cantrell]
In the darkest hole, you'd be well advised
Not to plan my funeral before the body dies, yeah
Come the morning light, it's a see-through show
What you may have heard and what you think you know, yeah
[Chorus: Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell]
Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside
[Verse 2: Layne Staley, Jerry Cantrell]
Sure to play a part, so you love the game
And in truth, your lies become one and same, yeah
I could set you free, rather hear the sound
Of your body breaking as I take you down, yeah
[Chorus: Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell]
Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside

In the darkest hole, you'd be well advised
Not to plan my funeral before the body dies, yeah
[Chorus: Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell]
Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside
Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside
