Music
These sounds are bouncing back and fourth between my ears
And on each lap they test my brain for a new opinion
They work their way down to my heart
And tear at the seams to reveal my feelings
They're saying the thoughts that I couldn't put into words
It's like this was made for me
The anger rampaging through the chords
It's everything that I hold inside
My heart is in time with the drums
Shaking all of the broken pieces
But then the lyrics touch my soul
And glue them back together
I feel the power in his voice
I hear the emotions overpower him
He strains to hold onto his words
But he's slipping into a wave of violent riffs
It slows down into a glorified blur
Sounds that were born to aggravate
It cuts off and all that's left is feedback
The moment before I hit repeat

My favorite band Nirvana and many other bands like them are what inspired me to write this song. I'm hoping that people can relate to the powerful affects that music can have on a person.
