I've always looked for the perfect life to step into. I've taken all the paths to get where I wanted. But no matter where I go, I still come home.Collection: Home

My bad habits aren't my title. My strengths and my talent are my title.Collection: Strength
My bed isn't made, I'm tired, I haven't slept well for two weeks. I haven't been laid in a month. I don't have a girlfriend. I have a warrant for my arrest.
Whatever dramas are going on in my life, I always find that place inside my head where I see myself as the cleanest, tallest, strongest, wisest person that I can be.
Andrew Wood's death changed things for a few weeks. I probably got even heavier into drugs after that.
The songs are about things that we were thinking and we wrote 'em down, and when you listen to 'em, whatever you think it's about... THAT'S what it's about!
I found out through the Internet that I have AIDS. I learned that I was dead. Where else would I find these things?
I don't take part in it the way I used to-the bimbos, the free beers, free drugs, all that. That's still there if you want it, but I don't really seek that out any more.
There were a lot of drugs. We kinda just passed the time that way. For a couple of years we were all doin' anything we could get our hands on.
Kurt and I weren't the closest of friends, but I knew him well enough to be devastated by his death. For such a quiet person, he was so excited about having a child.
I don't think any drug that can cause brain damage, failing kidneys, hardening arteries, pain, and suffering should be made available.
I was in a band when I was 15. We were a glam band. Then I couldn't afford to buy makeup. At the time that was the thing.
It was all about music, about getting your friends to come and see you play. I don't see that same intimacy happening very much today.
Our perception of songs that we've written... the meaning changes from day to day... to whatever stage we're at in our life and careers.
We started this band as kids, and as time has gone on, we've grown and are learning to accommodate each others' differences.
We survived a Slayer crowd every night for about 50 days and thought we could do about anything after that.
You my friend,I will defend,and if we change well, I love you anyway.Collection: Love You
I'm not into religion, but I have a good grasp on my spirituality. I just believe that I'm not the greatest power on this earth. I didnt create myself, because I would have done a hell of a better job.Collection: Jobs
I'm not using drugs to get high like many people think. I know I made a big mistake when I started using this sh-. It's a very difficult thing to explain. My liver is not functioning and I'm throwing up all the time and shitting my pants. The pain is more than you can handle. It's the worst pain in the world. Dope sick hurts the entire body.Collection: Hurt

People have the right to ask questions and dig deep when you're hurting people and things around you, but when I haven't talked to anyone in years, and every single article I see is dope this, junkie that, whiskey this- that ain't my title...my bad habits aren't my title. My strengths and talents are my title.Collection: Hurt
If I can't be my own, I'd feel better deadCollection: Feel Better
I wrote about drugs, and I didn't think I was being unsafe or careless by writing about them. I didn't want fans to think heroin was cool. But then I've had fans come up to me and give me the thumbs up, telling me they're high. That's exactly what I didn't want to happen.Collection: Writing
I'd like to fly, but my wings have been so denied.Collection: Wings
I'm dumbfounded by me all the time. Wow! What a.... thrill.....and a joyCollection: Joy
I saw all the suffering that Kurt Cobain went through. I saw this real vibrant person turn into a real shy, timid, withdrawn person.Collection: Real
We Die Young is about gang violence. That was something that was happening in Seattle, something that kinda opened our eyes. It just seemed like things were getting out of hand. Incidents where kids were getting shot, and getting their tennis shoes ripped off their dead bodies. It just seems like these kids are dying at younger and younger ages and getting involved in gang activity.Collection: Kids
