Soundgarden

[Verse 1]
Whatsoever I feared has come to light
Whatsoever I've fought off became my life
Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile
Sunspots have faded, now I'm doin' time, now I'm doin' time

[Chorus]
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days

[Verse 2]
Whomsoever I've cured, I've sickened now
Whomsoever I've cradled, I've put you down
I'm a searchlight soul, they say, I can't see it in the night
I'm only faking, when I get it right, when I get it right

[Chorus]
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days

[Bridge 1]
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
How would I know
That this could be my fate?

[Verse 3]
What you wanted to see good has made you blind
What you wanted to be yours has made it mine
Don't you lock up somethin' that you wanted to see fly
Hands are for shaking, not tying, not tying

[Bridge 2]
I sure don't mind a change
I sure don't mind a change
Sure don't mind, sure don't mind a change
I sure don't mind a change

[Chorus]
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days

[Bridge 1]
How would I know that this could be my fate?
How would I know that this could be my fate?
How would I know that this could be my fate?
How would I know that this could be my fate?
Yeah

[Outro]
Cause I sure don't mind a change

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.
