[Verse 1]
Sitting on an angry chair
Angry walls that steal the air
Stomach hurts and I don't care
[Pre-Chorus 1]
What do I see across the way? Hey
See myself molded in clay, oh
Stares at me, yeah, I'm afraid, hey
Changing the shape of his face, oh, yeah
[Verse 2]
Candles red, I have a pair
Shadows dancing everywhere
Burning on the angry chair
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Little boy made a mistake, hey
Pink cloud has now turned to gray, oh
All that I want is to play, hey
Get on your knees, time to pray, oh
[Chorus]
I don't mind, yeah, I don't mind, I-I-I
I don't mind, yeah, I don't mind, I-I-I
Lost my mind, yeah, but I don't mind, I-I-I
Can't find it anywhere, I don't mind, I-I-I
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Corporate prison, we stay, hey
I'm a dull boy, work all day, oh
So I'm strung out anyway, hey
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Loneliness is not a phase
Field of pain is where I graze
Serenity is far away
[Pre-Chorus 4]
Saw my reflection and cried, hey
So little hope that I died, oh
Feed me your lies, open wide, hey
Weight of my heart, not the size, oh
[Chorus]
I don't mind, yeah, I don't mind, I-I-I
I don't mind, yeah, I don't mind, I-I-I
Lost my mind, yeah, but I don't mind, I-I-I
Can't find it anywhere, I don't mind, I-I-I
[Outro]
Pink cloud has now turned to gray
All that I want is to play
Get on your knees, time to pray, boy
Angry Chair was written by Layne Staley.
Angry Chair was produced by Alice in Chains & Dave Jerden.
Alice in Chains released Angry Chair on Tue Sep 29 1992.
Such a brilliant song. I’m very proud of Layne for writing it. When I’ve stepped up vocally in the past he’s been so supportive, and here was a fine example of him stepping up with the guitar and writing a masterpiece.
