Words from a poet

[chriscornelllyrics]

It’s been so lonely without you here

Like a bird without a song

[chriscornelllyrics]

On your breast I might lay my crowded head In your light I might bathe in cold burnt sweat In your mouth I might feel the serpent's kiss In you womb I might swim in fetal bliss ...But in your heart I'd freeze

Cold Bitch, Soundgarden [Echo Of Miles: Scattered Tracks Across The Path, 2014]

You should have been 55 today. Happy birthday, Christopher.

[chriscornelllyrics]

I'm not one to waste my time Searching for some silver lining But somewhere out there past the storm Lies the shelter Of your heart

Before We Disappear, Chris Cornell [Higher Truth, 2015]

2 years without you, and the sadness never goes away, Chris.

Chris Cornell

[chriscornelllyrics]

Come on now, the curtain is drawn And tomorrow stands before you Dressed and draped in a coal black cape Like a crow, he ignores you

Disappearing Act, Chris Cornell [Carry On, 2007]

Breathe and take it in and gently blow it out Drink it down and swallow hard and gaze Hold the potion up Stare your shadow down Remember to forget and then rename your shame

Overfloater, Soundgarden [Down on the Upside, 1996]

Happy birthday, Chris. Love and miss you forever.

Cause I heard it in the wind And I saw it in the sky And I thought it was the end And I thought it was the 4th of July

4th of July, Soundgarden [Superunknown, 1994]

[chriscornelllyrics]

I've been wandering sideways I've stared straight into the sun Still I don't know why you're dying Long before your time has come

Your Time Has Come, Audioslave [Out of Exile, 2005]

And when it comes to blows She'll get you on the ropes She's got you beat, you can tell by the company she keeps She's a politician

She’s A Politician, Soundgarden [Echo Of Miles: Scattered Tracks Across The Path, 2014]

[chriscornelllyrics]

She would do her dance A painful masquerade Spinning you into her web Along her vain parade

Flower, Soundgarden [Ultramega OK, 1988]

[chriscornelllyrics]

When we're gone and it's all said and done What will we leave? The stories told, will they speak of us? Well, God only knows what those words will be

Misery Chain, Chris Cornell [Higher Truth Deluxe Edition, 2015; Music from and Inspired by 12 Years a Slave, 2013]

Thoughts today are with Chris’s 3 children, the Cornell family, and all of Chris’s Seattle-based bandmates. Any omissions in this list are intentional.

We miss you.
