Would? — pjesma koju je Layne napisao za preminulog prijatelja

(Dirt, 1992)

He was such a bright light. He had just the bluest eyes. He lived for humor. The main thing for me was just his laugh. You could hear it all the way across the room, and there was just, like, realness to it. He was just such a real human being, and such a good human, too. He never had an ulterior motive. He'd never do any racist jokes. I never heard him talk shit about anybody. He was always very supportive of other bands. He wasn't the kind of guy to want to be the center of attention. He was really kind of a low-key guy. He just had an amazing vibe.

Lines cut across my face

Why you laugh at my disgrace

I'll never know how far to go

To reach that place

You opened fire

And your mark was true

You opened fire

Aim my smiling skull at you

You opened fire

I live tomorrow

You I'll not follow

As you wallow

In a sea of sorrow
