this is jerry cantrell telling layne what he sees, the direction his life is going. layne delivers an amazing vocal performance that is so heartfelt with all the emotions i can think of. "Forgot my woman, lost my friends Things I'd done and where I've been Sleep in sweat the mirrors cold See my face it's growin' old Scared to death no reason why Do whatever to get me by Think about the things I said Read the page it's cold and dead" the drugs cost him his woman and friends. he cant remember most of the stuff that he did to lose them. he sleeps in sweat from the detoxing from the heroin. the mirror is cold because he cant stand to see his own reflection. scared to death from the paranoia and helpless/hopelessness so he does whatever to get through it(the dope). when he remembers some of the stuff he did he cant believe the things he's done and lost. finally, he is screaming and pleading for God to take his life. unbelievable song. really sad, i feel everything he says because i too lost a lot due to my addiction. it can literally bring me to tears every time i hear it, because there was a day when i felt the exact same.
