Nevermind

This is a tribute to Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, who passed away 18 years ago. RIP, amigo.

A death rattle heard round the world
All in all, you were your own
Malnourished Pisces, griping about life
Your apologies were never accepted

Locked in a heart-shaped box for weeks
But you’d say nevermind, no new complaints
You were right, not the only one
Far from it, in fact

Your best was your worst
But that made you so warm and calm inside
No longer needing to hide in the darkness
With the lights out

You served no one, no masters, no servants
But there was always something in the way
Lack of iron, so tired you couldn’t sleep
Took all the blame, thought it was all your fault


Came and went as you were
Never knew what you wanted to be
All the angst didn’t pay off too well
Because you never saw old age

You were high up in the sky
But eventually everyone goes into the dirt
You always wanted to be dead rather than cool
Not a mean heart, but a cold one
