This is a melancholic, yet beautiful acoustic piece that stands out among my favorites, having played it far more times than any other. Its hard to appreciate the picture by lyrics alone, because the mood of the vocals and guitar make the song. Its by Alice in Chains and performed by the late, great Layne Staley. The photos are all mine, of someone I used to know. Here are the lyrics.

We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight
And yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home

Oooh...Oooh...
Oooh...Oooh...

My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find
And yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead

Oooh...Oooh...
Oooh...Oooh...

Love the monotone color scheme you used in this one. The type on the word "Nutshell" is really good, too.
