[Intro]
One, Two, Three, Four

[Verse 1]
Can't go home, no I swear you never can
You can walk a million miles and get nowhere
I got nowhere to go ever since I came back
Just filling in the lines from the holes to the cracks

[Chorus]
No one knows me
No one saves me
No one loves or hates me
I've been away for too long

[Verse 2]
This place has a special kind of falling apart
Like they put the whole thing together in the dark
And no one knows where the edge of the knife is
And no one knows what intelligent life is

[Chorus]
And no one knows me
No one saves me
No one loves or hates me
But it's fate
I only ever really wanted a break
I’ve been away for too long
Though I never really wanted to stay
I’ve been away for too long
(I've been away for too long)
I've been away for too long

[Verse 3]
Kilos through keyholes
Widows through windows
Pilots through eyelets
Everyone is silent
Tankards and flagons and snifters
And flutes on my way home

[Chorus]
But it's fake
I only ever really wanted a break
I’ve been away for too long
Though I never really wanted to stay
I’ve been away but it's fake
I only ever really wanted a break
I’ve been away for too long
Though I never really wanted to stay
I’ve been away for too long
Hey!

[Outro]
Thank you

One of the biggest rock bands out of Seattle, Soundgarden was formed in 1984 by singer and rhythm guitarist Chris Cornell, lead guitarist Kim Thayil, and bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Matt Cameron became the band’s full-time drummer in 1986, while bassist Ben Shepherd became a permanent replacement for Yamamoto in 1990. While one of the creators of the Grunge alternative rock and the first to sign to a major label, they only rose to stardom once the genre was popularized by Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains in the early 90s. After achieving great success with 1994’s Superunknown, the band decided to call it quits three years later due to internal squabbles. Eventually they reunited in 2010, releasing new album King Animal two years later. Frontman Chris Cornell committed suicide in a Detroit hotel room on May 17, 2017. He was 52 years old.
