[Verse 1]
I think I know the answer
I stumbled on and all the world fell down
And all the sky went silent
Cracked like glass and slowly tumbled to the ground

[Chorus]
They all say if you look hard
You'll find your way back home
Born without a friend
And bound to die alone

[Verse 2]
I'm thinking of your highness
And crying long upon the loss I've found
And on the plus and minus
Zero chance of ever turning this around

[Bridge]
Why doesn't anyone believe in loneliness?
Stand up and everyone will see your holiness

[Chorus]
They all say if you look hard
You'll find your way back home
Born without a friend
And bound to die alone

Soundgarden

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.
