Kurt Cobain Nirvana – Even In His Youth Lyrics
“He was born for your crew
I’ve got nothing left to prove
If I die before I wake
Hope I don’t come back a slave”
Kurt Cobain Nirvana – Heart Shaped Box Lyrics
“She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak
I’ve been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks
I’ve been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your Cancer when you turn back”
“Would you believe me when I tell you
You are the queen of my heart
Please don’t deceive me when I hurt you
Just ain’t the way it seems”
Nirvana – All Apologies Lyrics

Easily amused
Find my nest of salt
Everything is my fault
I’ll take all the blame
Aqua seafoam shame
Sunburn with freezeburn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy”

Make it sound now, make it full house, sad man”

Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means”
Nirvana – Drain You Lyrics

I’ve become your pupil
You’ve taught me everything
Without a poison apple
The water is so yellow, I’m a healthy student
Indebted and so grateful –
Vacuum out the fluids”

As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend
As a known enemy”

I don’t mean to stare, we don’t have to breed
We could plant a house, we could build a tree
I don’t even care, we could have all three”
Nirvana – Lithium Lyrics
“I’m so happy, ’cause today I’ve found my friends
They’re in my head
I’m so ugly, that’s okay, ’cause so are you
We’ve broke our mirrors
Sunday morning, is every day for all I care
And I’m not scared
Light my candles, in a daze, ’cause I’ve found God”

Finger plaster cast and horse pills
One more quirky cliche’d phrase
You’re the one I wanna refill”

I do with an ear to lend
I do think you fit this shoe
I do, won’t you have a clue?”

Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us”

When we play
The raining always starts
When you go away”

Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I’ll arrest myself, I’ll wear a shield
I’ll go out of my way to prove I still
Smell her on you”
Nirvana – Old Age Lyrics
“One more day to complain my servant
One more doubt here to find a servant
One more time here if I find a way
It’s over”

Remained in seclusion
For the next few days
The family circle noose
He had removed us
All the styles of heresy
Finally he appeared unexpectedly
Looking for company”

And you turn around
Take a look at what you are
It is amazing
Take a good look
You’re no big deal
You’re so petty
It’s a laugh”

I know it’s wrong so what should I do?”

Act out of loyalty
Defend every country
Wish away the pain”

To explain, your asylum
Idle times, analyzing
We’ll compare, all our sightings, come on”

Don’t hate you anymore
There is nothing I could say
That I haven’t thought before”

“I lie in the soil and fertilize mushrooms
Leaking out gas fumes are made into perfume
You can’t fire me because I quit!
Throw me in the fire and I won’t throw a fit”
