Alice in Chains - Lesson Learned

From their 2009 album Black Gives Way to Blue.

Just another lesson learned
Wear a scar, a bore repeating
Take a simple fateful turn
Opened up to stop the bleeding

Feeling like you never could
Been the disconnected frying
Hit the vein and struck a nerve
Seeing through a self that's blinding

Nowhere to buy in
Most of us hiding
Others are shining

Just another brick you toss
Stone the number one deceiver
Multiply the added cost
Easy to become a believer

Feeling like you never could
Been the disconnected frying
Hit the vein and struck a nerve
Seeing through a self that's blinding

Nowhere to buy in
Most of us hiding
Others are shining

You know when you find it
In your darkest hour, you strike gold
A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all

You know when you find it
In your darkest hour, you strike gold
A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all
Just another lesson learned

You know when you find it
In your darkest hour, you strike gold
A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all

You know when you find it
In your darkest hour, you strike gold
A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all
Just another lesson learned, yeah
Just another lesson learned

Jerry's voice legit sounds like a perfectly tuned instrument.

[averagestatelesssinner]

Their best post-Staley album and up there even with their previous works.

[dewaynehairston]

After these years I can still hear what sounds like Layne's voice buried in the mix.

[rebelguy]

Thank you Jerry, Mike, Sean, and William for continuing the Alice In Chains doing God's work and I'm eternally grateful, as is Layne!

[GeorgeOforiAtta]

Keep the legacy of this band alive. Saga to saga, song onto song. Sometimes there is no other way to get a message out there. This album is a gem. And this song has precious wisdom in it.

Know when you find it, in your darkest hour you strike gold, a thought clicks, not the be-all end-all - what a fking chorus

[jeffersonaraujoelcristiano]

In your darkest hour you strike gold...

[kelliecobaingrrrl]

Jerry is so f*cking intelligent it's crazy. Aic forever. I love him and Layne so much.

[carljacobus]

Haven't heard this in years. So good.

[mikesperko]

My favorite jam off their first album with William Duvall

[cameronnorton]

God this song rocks. It's so sad Layne isn't singing it.

[karlmoles]

I nearly tore the volume knob off my car stereo the first time I heard this

[ryanconnell]

Lesson learned is a good Alice and chains song

[scottturner]

Just another fucking bad ass tune from the almighty AIC

[davidwilliamsjr]

This is by far my favorite AIC album from my all time favorite band. Jerry Cantrell is my favorite artist and song writer.
