lyrics

Close my eyes and smell your hair
That’s sweet smell washes over me like a prayer
Lie awake at night right next to you
Caress and undress and rise anew
I know you’ve been thinking bout other things
So I’ll just smile at the songs you sing

But no I won’t wait too long
Won’t let the clock keeps ticking cuz
Down in the dirt is a different sense of time

I woke up and realized
My image of you was idealized
Now the chains around my wrists are broken
How could I resist?
I fell hard, I fell fast
I knew this love just wouldn’t last

But every moment with you
was a dream my dear
The taste of your neck,
the taste of your lips,
the taste of your love
Now everything is clear

I’m free, but I love you from a distance it may be
My mind’s just an unnavigable Labyrinth
I know you’ve been thinking bout other things
So I’ll just smile at the songs you sing
But remember what I told you

I won’t wait too long
Won’t let the clock keeps ticking cuz
Down in the dirt is a different sense of time

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.
