NIRVANA - Sliver

Nirvana - Lithium (Version Demo) 1987

Song and Lyrics Vesuvius Inc .Alife of bad times and high times.

Just a boy, obedient, piano lessons on Sundays
Head full of noise, they called it ADHD

Verse 1
Then the snow broke me, a ski run gone wrong
Four months in the white room, morphine in my veins
Two years of methadone, not the glory I dreamed of
But I walked out limping, with music in my hands

Chorus 
🎵 I stumble, I fall, but I rise again
Carrying fire in the songs I play
From silence to riot, from prison to stage
My revolt is the only way I live today 🎵

Verse 2
In a northern town, where music barely breathed
We built a band from shadows, played our hearts to ghosts
Opened for Hammill, Van der Graaf in the cold
Dreaming Crimson chords, chasing giants’ echoes

Verse 3 
Then the girls came, the bottles, the idols on the wall
Grace Slick on vinyl, Randy California calls
I thought we were eternal, but we burned too fast
One year in a clinic, where everything seemed possible

Chorus 
🎵 I stumble, I fall, but I rise again
Carrying fire in the songs I play
From silence to riot, from prison to stage
My revolt is the only way I live today 🎵

Bridge
Out of the shelter, I fell once more
But love found me, wide as the Canadian sky
She showed me the wild, the space to breathe
And two children later, I began again

Verse 4 
A small studio, guitars against the storm
Grunge was the resurrection, raw and alive
So many deaths, but a music of revolt
And I need that revolt to keep my heart beating

Final Chorus  
🎵 I stumble, I fall, but I rise again
Carrying fire in the songs I play
From silence to riot, from prison to stage
My revolt is the only way I live today 🎵
