Cover art for Scalpel lyrics by Alice in Chains

"I know how false the floor"

  • You think you've hit rock bottom, you haven't.

"How high the sky"

  • Your growth, your reach is boundless .. much higher than you are now

"Been down those roads before, it's a lie.. you hide in someone else"

  • Pretending to be someone you're not

"Like a shining scalpel, cut yourself"

  • Cut yourself out of the false skin you're in
