Line 13:
* "Hate To Feel" - especially when you compare it to "Real Thing", which was about how much he wants his friends and family to back off about his addiction, even though he knows he needs help. "Hate To Feel" is basically a sequel, about how the heroin has taken over his life, and now he needs it because life is physically too painful without it.
* "Black Gives Way to Blue", which is about the late Layne Staley.
* Hell, you could say that the [[Self -Titled Album]] is all one big [[Tear Jerker]] - being written by Layne Staley. With the exception of four songs, they are about how he's all alone with no one willing to help and him unwilling to accept help with his addiction. It's truly depressing stuff, but [[It Got Worse|it gets worse]]. He didn't remember writing those songs, because he was high when he wrote them. Need a shotgun yet?
** Especially in the chorus of "Frogs", where Layne repeatedly asks, "Why's it have to be this way?", and the spoken word coda, where he looses such wonderfully hateful lines as "Off the wall I scrape you" and "Never gonna fuck with me again".
* "[[Grief Song|Over Now]]"
