Fell On Black Days | Soundgarden

Reprise

Whatsoever I’ve feared has come to light
And whatsoever I’ve fought off became my life

Just when every day seemed to greet me with a smile
Sunspots have faded
Now I’m doing time
Now I’m doing time

‘Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days

Whomsoever I’ve cured
I’ve sickened now
And whomsoever I’ve cradled
I’ve put you down

I’m a searchlight soul they say
But I can’t see it in the night
I’m only faking when I get it right
When I get it right

‘Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days

How would I know
That this could be my fate?
How would I know
That this could be my fate?

So what you wanted to see good has made you blind
And what you wanted to be yours has made it mine

So don’t you lock up something
That you wanted to see fly
Hands are for shaking
No not tying
No not tying

I sure don’t mind a change
Sure don’t mind a change
Yeah, sure don’t mind, sure don’t mind a change
I sure don’t mind a change

‘Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days

How would I know
That this could be my fate?

I sure don’t mind a change
