This was the lead track from Black Gives Way to Blue, the Seattle act's first album featuring vocalist William DuVall.
Vocalist/guitarist Jerry Cantrell said: "The song basically speaks to any number of things that keep you balled up inside. A cell of our own making with an unlocked door that we choose to remain in. Focusing our attention inward instead of reaching out to a much larger world. I think this is common to us all. It's funny how hard we fight to hang on to a bone we can't pull through a hole in the fence, or how difficult it is to put down the bag of bricks and move on."
When this song debuted on the Mainstream Rock airplay chart in July 2009, it became Alice In Chain's first entry since a live version of its introductory track "Man In The Box" reached #40 on the first chart of 2001.
