I kept searching for the same sound
Dirty strings and open wounds
Drums that hit like doors collapsing
Voices howling through the room
Never knew what I was chasing
Only knew I wanted more
Something in that raw distortion
Knew the combination to the door
Heavy riffs
Raw energy
Take me somewhere
Words can’t carry me
Back before the explanations
Back before I understood
I thought I liked the noise
Maybe the noise
Understood me
There are frequencies that find you
Before language knows your name
A guitar can cross a boundary
That a sentence cannot frame
So I searched playlist after playlist
Trying to recreate the spark
Never knowing I was lowering
A little lantern in the dark
Turn it up
Not to drown it out
Turn it up
So I can hear it
Under the distortion
Under the kick drum
Under the scream
There I am
Heavy riffs
Raw energy
A road running backwards
Through my history
I knew I loved the feeling
I just never understood
Maybe I wasn’t searching for music
Maybe I was searching
For me
