Mudshovel Lyrics

You take away
I feel the same

You take away
I feel the same
All the promises you made to me you made in vain
I lost myself inside your tainted smile again

'Cause you can't feel my anger
You can't feel my pain
You can't feel my torment
Driving me insane
I can't fight these feelings they will bring you pain
You can't take away
Make me whole again

I feel betrayed
Stuck in your ways
And you rip me apart
With the brutal things you say
I can't deal with this shit anymore
I just look away

'Cause you can't feel my anger
You can't feel my pain
You can't feel my torment
Driving me insane
I can't fight these feelings they bring only pain
You can't take away
Make me whole again

You take away
I feel the same
All these promises
You promised only pain
If you take away
And leave me with nothing again

'Cause you can't feel my anger
You can't feel my pain
You can't feel my torment
Driving me insane
I can't fight these feelings they will bring you pain
You can't take away
Make me whole again

You will feel my anger
You will feel my pain
You will feel my torment
Driving you insane
I can't fight these feelings they will bring you pain
You won't take away
I'll be whole again

Safe Place Lyrics

Another day inside my world
I'm married to you and this road
A road that never let's me sleep
There's no way to escape these demons I am forced to keep

And then I'll find you here
Through your eyes
Everything's clear
And I'm home
Inside your arms
But I'm alone for now

I mean the best with what I say
It doesn't always sound that way
I never learn to work things out
Cause in my family all we ever seem to do is shout

And then I find you here
Through your eyes
Everythings clear
And I'm home
Inside your arms
But I'm alone for now, alone for now

And I try to sleep
The drugs I take are killin' me
I think of you to ease my pain
But your so far

Now it's time to say goodbye
I love you baby please don't cry

And then I'll find you here
Through your eyes
Everythings clear
And I'm home
Inside your arms
But I'm along for now, alone for now

Layne Lyrics

I heard today that you were gone
I had to stop and sing along
The song they played to say goodbye
A song that gave
Gave me back life

You'll never fade
The words you gave
My life you saved
Your name was Layne

And on that day a child was born
To someone who you helped along
And helped see through his darkest times
Because of you, this child, she is mine

You'll never fade
The words you gave
My life you saved
Your name was Layne

The words you said
You made me feel like they were all for me
The words you said
They will always be a part of me
The words you said
You made me feel like I was not alone
The words you said
You gave me all the strength to carry on

So to me you'll never fade
Your life you gave
My life you saved
Your name was Layne

Layne

This song was written as a tribute to the lead singer of Alice In Chains, Layne Staley. Layne passed away the same day Staind lead singer Aaron Lewis' daughter Zoe Jane was born. Alice In Chains was a big influence on Staind. Aaron felt that Layne's death was portrayed as a typical junkie rock and roll death. He thought Layne's life was never given a proper tribute to his life, and his influence on rock and roll still lives today. This song is an attempt to keep his memory alive.

Layne died on April 5, 2002. Eight years earlier on the same day, Kurt Cobain died. Both were addicted to drugs, but Kurt also used drugs to forget his stomach pains. R.I.P. Kurt and Layne. (thanks, Sarah - Toronto, Canada, for above 2)

It's Been Awhile Lyrics

And It's Been Awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

And it's been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile
Since I can say I love myself as well
And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
And it's been awhile
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and fucked things up again

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day!

And it's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem to be I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry

It's Been Awhile Song Chart

In this song, Aaron Lewis sings about a girl who left a long time ago. He cant get over her and he feels ashamed of himself. (thanks, Brad - Geneva, NY)

In the video, the woman being sung to by Staind lead singer Aaron Lewis is actually his wife, Vanessa. They have been married since 1998. Vanessa likes to use her digital camera to record portions of every Staind concert. She gets shots of both the band and the crowd. Then the band sometimes watches the footage after the show.

The video was directed by Staind mentor and lead singer of Limp Bizkit, Fred Durst.

In 2001, NBC used this in promos for its show UC: Undercover.

A live version of this song appears at the end of Break The Cycle on some releases. (thanks, Elliot - St. Louis, MO)

Pressure Lyrics

I just need this to be alright
I can't feel this another night

I can't take this I come unglued
I might breakdown in front of you
Necessary to medicate
I'm not sleeping, can't stay awake

Can't see through this
Too much Pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure

If you need me I'll be here
Half unconscious to escape my fear

I can't take this I come unglued
I might breakdown in front of you
Necessary to medicate
I'm not sleeping, can't stay awake

Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure

My head hurts this shit isn't getting me high
My chest is so tight I think I am going to die
My stomach's in knots and the room starts to spin
As I wait for this Valium to slowly kick in

Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure

Staind's previous album, Dysfunction, sold over a million copies. This song is about the pressure to follow up that album with another hit. They did, as Break The Cycle sold even better.
