[Intro]
(Only forever..)
(It's only forever..)

[Refrain]
No one can save the pure or the brave
No one can save them at all
Grow and decay
Grow and decay

[Bridge]
It's only forever
It's only forever

[Refrain]
Loosely and tightly, everything fits
Even the wrist of your arm
Grow and decay
Growing today

[Outro]
It's only forever
It's only forever
It's only forever
It's only forever
It's only
It's only forever
It's only forever
Forever

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.
