Psychotic Break Lyrics
I feel the fear take hold
Reside in darkness, thrive where most won't go
Adrift, I curse this gift and hope you never know
Feel like a psychotic break, I'm in a hole
Snap into my force, punching holes in dry wall
Feel like a psychotic break, I'm in a hole
Talking of my dead friends whose love was long gone
I feel the fear take hold
Reside in darkness, thrive where most won't go
Adrift, I curse my gift and hope you never know
Feel like a psychotic break, I'm in a hole
Snap into my force, punching holes in dry wall
Feel like a psychotic break, I'm in a hole
Thinking 'bout my dead friends whose voices ring on
Reside in darkness, thrive where most won't go
Adrift, I curse this gift and hope you never know
Snap into my force, punching holes in dry wall
Talking of my dead friends whose love was long gone
Reside in darkness, thrive where most won't go
Adrift, I curse my gift and hope you never know
Snap into my force, punching holes in dry wall
Thinking 'bout my dead friends whose voices ring on

I've felt like this a time or two
Totally cool song, I love it to death.
peace xx
This is very dark and grungy however very easy to listen to to. It has a very spoky rythm. It could possible about his anger about the death of Layne. (Thinking 'bout my dead friends whose voices ring on)
@thrashgrunge4life This was written before his death. I normally would never say a song takes on new meaning after a person's death. However, I will make an exception for this one.. that last line hits differently after his death for sure, and I think Jerry would agree.

best intro in Degradation Trip Album! :D
Awesome song, but i think its "coming on" not "I'm in a hole"
It is "comin on" and I think the song is about Friends of Jerry dying. Like Layne Staley and others. He is saying that is making feel so angry he just might break.
another correction: its "snapping 2 x 4's" instead of "snap into my force"
I've heard Anger Rising and don't think much of it, but I think this song is decent. The riff is pretty repetitive like a few Alice in Chains songs, and not what I expected though. The vocals are okay, but I really hate the 'Snappin' two-by-fours..." line. The lyrics (of that line) are just terrible, and everytime he says them it sounds very amateurish.
this and dickeye are his two best songs i think. man when i bought degredation trip i had no idea what i was in for and i turned it up so fucking loud and this is teh first song on the album and cause of this song I was hooked on the cd for months and i still listen to it often.
The only thing that could've made this song better was if Layne Staley was singing it. Not that Jerry is a bad singer, but I wish this could've been an AIC song. Jerry kicks ass!
