lyrics

She’s the same kind of demon as I am, her claws sharp as a stone
If I could open my mouth, then nobody’s singing alone
If I’m too proud to sing it out loud, then I’ll whisper, so only she hears
I’ll spit out the words on the tip of my tongue, try not to choke on the tears

She’s my kind of chaos, strong just like me
Which is weaker than I ever knew a person could be
Her chaos is kind and she gives it for free
Her open hands fit into mine, like a dream

Bigger men than me sing different songs &
Steal the sleight from her hand
Sticks in my throat, like the words in my lungs
But strength is not the size of a man

Their houses are haunted by visions that leave
Shade on the walls of their rooms
The shadows on mine, are the same kind
I’ll try not to choke on the fumes

She’s my kind of chaos, strong just like me
Which is weaker than I ever knew a person could be
Her chaos is kind and she gives it for free
Her open hands fit into mine, like a dream

about

Mr. Alec Bowman_Clarke Scotland, UK

"Alec perfectly captures the dark soil under the pastoral world of British folk with this collection of melancholy originals...'

Bandcamp Editors

"Blew my mind; unnerving & eerily comforting…"

Dean Jackson BBC Radio

"Bleak and personal, yet charming and humorous. Shades of Leonard Cohen with a contemporary English vibe."

Unbound speaks healing words, but the music feels like healing, very special and moving but so simple. Just a guitar and a piano. I'm sure the glitter and ambience she put in the vinyl helps! <3 shadyneutron
