Words and Lyrics by Layne Staley

Publishing: Primary Wave Music Publishing

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

My gift of self is raped

My privacy is raked

And yet I fight

And yet I fight

Repeating in my head

If I can’t be my own

I’d feel better dead

self-released EPs and her acclaimed debut album, Tough Boy, she felt out of place. Changing the trajectory of your career is a process, and Hanson documents much of it in Wisconsin. There are, however, glimmers of hope.
