about

A collaboration with a guy I have been listening to for over ten years, this the heaviest track on the EP and equally powerful.

lyrics

Heat Up feat Sleep of Oldominion
Chorus
She is broken, bruised and mashed,
She is thrashed, humanities carelessness x 4


Verse One – Sleep of Oldominion
We’re all bound to something, drowning in consumption,
Blind they walk on the city blocks with the day’s dysfunction,
They just wanna buy something even though they don’t really need nothing,
And all I really need from you is to listen when the beat’s bumping,

Cos it means something to me, when I leak coveted speech,
And I bring trouble to peace, and I do something with meaning,
And even if I never achieve the goals I’m dreaming,
When I fall for the beat… [?]... before I’m leaving,

Cos the things that I’m singing about keep stingin’
And they been haunting my dreams of things I been seein’,
Deputised thugs being called policemen,
Turning their guns on the same people that feed them,

It’s like nowadays they don’t even need a reason,
To violate your rights, take away your life,
And what are we supposed to do with these broken pieces
It’s like night became the day, and day became the night


Chorus
She is broken, bruised and mashed,
She is thrashed, humanities carelessness x 4


Verse Two - Esoligh
I sit here thinking about the goodness of this earth,
The love of Papatuanuku and the people’s worth,
And the disdain of the thoughtless masses,
Disrespecting their mothers gift of their bodies with crassness

Living clean I see is the only way forward,
Lack of sight within, unseen or misunderstood,
It’s as though God’s inner words are unheard,
Here we sit unseeing the sights at nights bird

Christ a light, Buddha brights, positivity bites,
Slightly sought after are our achievements right,
While greater pathways lie unwalked,
Light unfiltered down greater streets untalked

Why must we drudge our legs along to jobs,
When we’re not fulfilling greater meaning like Gods,
Joy in service is found in liking what you do,
Driving the bus with a smile is rare in Birkenhead dude


Chorus
She is broken, bruised and smashed,
She is thrashed, humanities carelessness x 4


Verse Two - Esoligh
Breaking patterns like broken bones,
I let these words spray on pages like molten toblerones,
Drifting like a Silvia I lend my inner ears to ya,
My healing process spraying vowels and consanents illa

The very process of writing my therapeutic one,
It’s not a goal to reach but a place like an inner sun,
People if you don’t understand me well try,
My letters fly by your eyes to hit your third eye square on

Third dimensional vision I am spitting,
I say these words to fill your heart with hope, kidding,
Tearing down the hangman’s rope I wrote, and write,
Reaching the heights we find within no doubt

Hearing cats like Common Market light spark it,
Leaving behind Capitalism and snarky kids,
Walk towards hugs from your lovely beloved,
Like Rumi I look within to see without and above it
