Lyrics:
open dead end sea
nothing calling me to sail
could always sink instead
I think of where I’ve been
and it seems to be a dream
from someone else’s head
false ground swaying beneath me
another day I wake up just to breathe
I’m absent
for fractions of a feeling
I beckon the storm
the fight is still the only thing I know
so I keep on believing
I’ve got this under control
in the sky there’s a ceiling
that crushes me wherever I go
guess I’ll keep moving on
for within the fire grows
in the smoke there’s a song
that calls to me wherever I go
you’ll never feel at home
it’s a place you’re never gonna know
in recovered dreams
in the world that we believed
unforgettable
in the midnight sun
two lovers struggling to breathe
under their own weight
I guess I’ll keep moving on
I’ve got this under control

With Greg involved, you just press the like button before even hearing. The guy just never stops writing good stuff.

[@greglane334]

Exactly what I did. It's instinct

[@ryanlewiz]

I get it; I would never give a thumbs down to something I don’t feel is as strong as the high standard I (unfairly) hold him too. Along with Layne Staley he’s my favorite ‘rock’ vocalist ever. The majority of the singles this year haven’t been standouts in my opinion. This track was the first inspire me to hit the comment section...I guess that impulse is the best expression that this is the first track as a solo artist to make me go “there he is!” Trent Reznor (a fan of Greg) is the only artist where I am certain there won’t be any ‘With Teeth.’....but there was. Went off on a trivial tangent; congrats on the album release, Merry Christmas to us. I’ll hit thumbs up & shut up 🙂

[@tylerissla7139]

Like a successful Robin Urbino lmao

[@tinylilmonster28]

I only found Dillinger in 2018 when I met my boyfriend and I have to absolutely agree. Huge fan of this dude!

[@soulomine]

Please. He can’t sing worth dick with Jerry Cantrell - terrible stage presence. I don’t get it.

This song is like walking under a slow thunderstorm and you can appreciate some moments of beauty in all the rage going on above.

I could never understand how Greg and Corey Taylor are as good as they are, then I realised... The necks...

[@voodooaudio9488]

Add Mike Patton to that, same neck

[@Blackmetaljulian]

Greg is by far one if the best singers on the planet!

[@joamos5463]

Absolute tune, first time I heard it on radio 1 last night! Literally sounds like a mix between deftones and machine head with a tad of Alice in chains.

[@tsierfeld]

I was thinking at times the music feeling tones of Sabbath,C.O.C. his vocals def.head the hear the comparison to Chino,but his lower range almost Robert Plant' ish🤔

It's like... Something I Can't Explain. The lyrics "Wake up Just to Breathe...I'm Absent" grabbed me Hard and Reeled Me In Immediately and the rest of this song is just... EXACTLY, Word for Fucking Word.. Emotion for Fucking Emotion. Every Fucking Heartbeat of This Song Calls To Me Wherever I Go. The way you Scream into the mic. The way your hands grip the mic.. The end where you've crawled up in a ball Screaming At The Top Of Your Lungs... I... Feel... This.... No song has Ever been able to Express in Such A Way... The feeling of Begrudgingly Moving On when you Literally only have a Fraction of A Feeling Left in your Soul. The Only Fraction that keeps you alive...

@@ChopTheFrog Actually I would love to hear Jerry Cantrell involved in a heavier version of AIC kinda stuff (a different band/project) but with a singer with growling vocals too...a combination with clean/growl vocals...and with a more metal influenced drummer & bass player.

He wrote this song (and 3 others) during the filming of the Fuck Content livestream, so it was after the album was done
