I don't wanna feel no more
It's easier to keep fallin'
Imitations are pale
Emptiness all tomorrows
Haunted by your ghost
Lay down
Black gives way to blue
Lay down
I'll remember you
Fading out by design
Consciously avoiding changes
Curtain's drawn, now it's done
Silencing all tomorrows
Forcing a goodbye
Lay down
Black gives way to blue
Lay down
I'll remember you
It's easier to keep fallin'
Imitations are pale
Emptiness all tomorrows
Haunted by your ghost
Lay down
Black gives way to blue
Lay down
I'll remember you
Fading out by design
Consciously avoiding changes
Curtain's drawn, now it's done
Silencing all tomorrows
Forcing a goodbye
Lay down
Black gives way to blue
Lay down
I'll remember you

By the way, I'm Scott and I was the co-founder and guitarist of Thread. We played the local Seattle music scene from 1993-1996. We reached a medium level of local popularity playing regular live shows around Seattle. We released a 5 song demo tape in 1993 and eventually 2 full length albums over the following two years.
Early on we were big fans of Alice in Chains and our songs showed it, especially our first demo tape. We threw together the recordings for that tape using my 4-track and quite a lot of borrowed gear. It featured 5 songs from our live set called Distance Aside, The Fool, Aviary Garlands, What We Are and Look at Me. We used to dub copies of the tape ourselves and sell them at our shows for $5.
You can imagine my surprise when I learned that for almost the last 10 years our 5 songs from that tape have been sold and traded as early AiC recordings.
In March 2006 I received an email from John, who runs a long running AiC site, informing me of this misattribution. I did some web searches and was amazed to find just how far our little songs had traveled. It was surreal to find my guitar parts transcribed, our lyrics posted (albeit not accurately) and discussion board conversions about the tunes.
It's flattering to know that our songs have been mistaken for a band like Alice in Chains, but I also feel that credit should be given where it's due. So to help set the record straight, I created this site.
I do have digitally re-mastered versions of our recordings, including the demo tape (see our discography below). I'm curious to know how much interest there is in purchasing our recordings. Please drop me a line and let me know your thoughts"
