[Verse 1] Rain keeps chewing the windows again Same old black mold climbing the walls I been staring at the ceiling till it stares back Empty bottles stacked like little tombstones Everything I touch turns soft and wrong Northwest cold seeps into the marrow I keep tryin’ to scream the rot out But it just sinks deeper every dawn [Chorus] I’m rotting in the gray Under these endless clouds Bleed the same old pain Till there’s nothing left to shout Seattle’s got its teeth in me Dragging me down slow Grunge in my lungs, death in my veins And I don’t wanna let go [Verse 2] Puddles reflect a face I don’t claim Eyes like drowned streetlights at 3 a.m. Friends faded into the static and rain Left me talking to the damp and the shame Every guitar chord feels like a knife Cutting through the quiet I can’t escape I want the world to crack open wide Just so something finally feels awake [Chorus] I’m rotting in the gray Under these endless clouds Bleed the same old pain Till there’s nothing left to shout Seattle’s got its teeth in me Dragging me down slow Grunge in my lungs, death in my veins And I don’t wanna let go [Bridge] Let the mud rise Let the sky cave in I was born in this damp I’ll die in this skin No clean escape No sunny regret Just the slow dissolve Of everything I never said [Final Chorus] I’m rotting in the gray Under these endless clouds Bleed the same old pain Till the silence drowns it out Seattle’s got its teeth in me And it’s never letting go Grunge in my lungs, death in my veins Yeah… I’m already gone
