Cover art for Shame In You lyrics by Alice in Chains

this is one of my favorite alice songs. this is one of laynes best. he is once again completely consumed by regret and sorrow. he also admits that he is the only one who has caused himself pain. he thinks about his pain constantly "now you hear me for the things i've seen. yeah i believe in inner peace". once again, he feels isolated, so he keeps everything bottled up "grow out, blow up, hold in, show fine, no signs, grow blind". he is degrading from within.
