"Give It A Name" lyrics - JERRY CANTRELL

Give it a name, get it out of your home
Out in your backwoods, a doghouse you own
Give it a name like a howling blue hound
Chasing your fears, man, he's hunting you down
Give it a name, get it out of your eye
Come from the dockland, got your low-hangin' high
Give it a name, though you call yourself saved
She's deep on your bone, and it won't go away

[Chorus:]
Slowly, all the roles we act out
Become our identity
And in the end, we are
What we pretend to be

Give it a name, get it out of your home
Out in your backwoods, a doghouse you own
Give it a name like a howling blue hound
Chasing your fears, man, he's hunting you down
Give it a name, get it out of your eye
Come from the dockland, got your low-hangin' high
Give it a name, though you call yourself saved
She's deep on your bone, and it won't go away

[Chorus:]
Slowly, all the roles we act out
Become our identity
And in the end, we are
What we pretend to be

Slowly, all the roles we act out
Become our identity
And in the end, we are
What we pretend to be

[Guitar solo]

Slowly, all the roles we act out
Become our identity
And in the end, we are
What we pretend to be

[Outro:]
Separating self from dream
Harsh reality
And though it hurts, embrace the truth
And, from fear, be set free
