Written by Jerry Cantrell



Don't deny I did you cold 

I broke your trust and lied 

Controlling, selfish, gossip abound 

Cocaine mouth over mind 



And I say... 

I wash my hands, pull the slivers 

No master plan, I deliver 



Enigma wrapped in riddle 

Your life I belittle 

Dignity I'd steal 

Now I know how it feels 



Stubborn bastard, hard head knocking 

We had our good years, too 

Though apart, you're still in my heart 

I'd give anything for you 



And I say... 

I wash my hands, pull the splinters 

No master plan I deliver 



Enigma wrapped in riddle 

Your life I belittle 

Dignity I'd steal 

Now I know how it feels 



Often heard, seldom seen 

Bargain Basement Howard Hughes 

Hermit phase, a woodshed rage 

These days headlines are few 



Repeat: And I say... 

Repeat: Enigma...
