lyrics

A mind is a battle between warring states
Battered by bullets, battered by fate
You swing your sword to celebrate at last

You cannot heal the wounds
You do not acknowledge
You must use ointment and gauze
Can't this task be easy?
You ask me meekly
I just turn and sigh

I try to fight them all,
I try to stand tall
But the burden of Atlas
Weighs on my shoulders

Tragic is the love that craves but cannot feed
Tragic is the love that gives but not receive
Tragic is the life that lives but cannot breathe

You cannot heal the wounds
You do not acknowledge
You must use ointment and gauze
Can't this task be easy?
You ask me meekly
I just turn and sigh

I try to fight them all,
I try to stand tall
But the burden of Atlas
Weighs on my shoulders

about

Alex Cowles Marquette, Michigan

Self-described as “sad boy music,” or "musical poetry." I take on acoustic guitar fingerpicking with a punk mentality and jazz influences. My lyrics strike a balance between darkness and positivity, never shying away from reality.
