Official announcement:
Layne Staley is my favorite performer of all time. I feel it has been long enough that I can make that decision now. Wake Up by Mad Season is my favorite song of all time.
written from the perspective of his junkie father voicing what Layne knows he needs to do... ditch the H habit.
Wake up young man, it's time to wake up
Your love affair has got to go
For ten long years, the leaves to rake up
Slow suicide's no way to go
Blue, clouded grey, you're not a crack up
Dizzy and weakened by the haze
Moving onward so an infection not a phase
The cracks and lines from where you gave up
They make an easy man to read
For all the times you let them bleed you
For little peace from God you plead, and beg
For little peace from God you plead
Wake up young man, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
