about

Featuring the mighty Hermitude

lyrics

As I wake in the morn a new life is born
And although I'm not driving it I'm surviving and arriving
At a new destination, and to think I ever underestimated
the power and love related to me by the powers that be
You see, it's all good it's all love and it's coming for free

So I'm looking through the eye of a new sunrise
And I'm seeing things in people and I never realised
That we're walking hand in hand, whether we like it or not
Upon a beautiful land and it's the only thing we've got

So this feeling I'm gonna channel straight into a track
And get back, back before the days of gunga and smack
Back before the days of losing myself from the void
I'm coming back from the chasm with a lyrical orgasm

Cos I'm living in a dream with a lyrical machine
Pumping out a steady stream if you know what I mean
Well do you know what I mean, I've just gotta get up and speak it
I don't feel the need to scream, just gotta speak before I freak it

I'm a light sleeper
Deep
Light sleeper

No rest for the wicked, at least that's what they say
Just can't seem to shut out the thoughts of the day
Or the days gone by or the days to come for everyone

You know the drill, your born, you reform
You learn to love and trust, you learn to hate and kill
You learn to procreate, and still you desire to build an empire
Or self destruct at will

But time is short
Time is running out
In the blink of an eye your whole life's blown by
And every idea is like a new career
Spinning out of control, with no way to steer yourself
Out of the confusion and fear
Out of the confusion and fear

I'm a light sleeper
Deep dreamer
Light sleeper
Deep dreams
Light sleeper
Deep dreamer
Light sleeper

(Deepen the plank, you gotta deepen the plank)

I'm a light sleeper
Deep dreamer
Light sleeper
Deep
