lyrics

Seattle Son

I’ve never seen somebody
Affect whole life’s
The way you did
In your short time
Your art was not for money
But is it why you died
They say love can Kill
Conspiracy theories rife

No no there’s none like the Seattle son
You saved us
But when you tried to be heard
It was too much
Mustang symphonies and a sound that defined our times
Now your gone who is left
No one

You never seemed to be comfortable
In your own skin
You know you’re right was a swan song
The banshee wailing
The pain deep in your stomach
It burned you up inside
Its sad self medication
An opioid respite

No no there’s none like the Seattle son
You saved us
But when you tried to be heard
It was too much
Mustang symphonies and a sound that defined our times
Now your gone who is left
No one

solo

If only you had an apprentice
Even scentless
Someone to pass the torch to
For us to hear through
No one else has come close
Nor likely will they
Romantic grunge is dead and gone
Its with you in the grave

No no there’s none like the Seattle son
You saved us
But when you tried to be heard
It was too much
Mustang symphonies and a sound that defined our times
Now your gone who is left
No one

(Blue eyes for me, free fall empathy)
