onelokikitty i think you are SPOT on. the song is written from Layne's point of view. in his final years Layne was said to sit in his condo playing video games and shooting up, sometimes noone would hear from him for weeks which is why his body wasnt discoverd for 2 weeks. now Jerry only hears from his friend occasionally, and whenever he does, he's high. They talk (chew the skin) but cant get down to the real issues (the bones).
alice in chains was a band with the potential to be much bigger than they were, but their internal problems caused them to implode leaving only about 60 songs for the world to enjoy. Still Jerry (at least publicly) doesn't lay blame with anyone to the demise of his band.
apart from the obvious wedges Alice seemed like such a close-knit group. i cant help but wonder what might have been.
