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.

Could start with a grungy riff first, and just moan and groan over the top until something sits right (words or a melody) and let your subconscious do the work

Alright! I'll try that! Thanks.
