Did I Ever Know You?

from Live and Die by Alex Cowles

/

lyrics

Sit on the front porch,
wind stroking my hair
Cigarette smoke wafts through
the midnight air.

I don't know you,
did I ever know you?

Each inhale brings a death sentence
but I cannot speak the language.
Funny how the things we overlook
cause the most damage.

I don't know you,
did I ever know you?

Your words were like poetry
a simple song we both knew.
Each blood stained rag waved
before my eyes appeared royal blue.

I don't know you,
did I ever know you?

My body could not lie,
new knots formed in my back.
It was only a matter of time till
you planned your attack.

I don't know you,
did I ever know you?

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.
