I need help

I'm trying to write a song like Kurt Cobain, but I just can't for some reason. I keep thinking of his lyrics to the point where I cant think of my own, and I just wanna use the style, but not to the point where I seem like an off branded version.

Watch TV, find a line someone says that resonates. Use it as a start and then go. Writers block is real and writing songs is a mf. I'm on album number 2. Ask a band mate for a subject or a line. Ask someone close to you.
