about
As Baudelaire wrote of Modern Sleeping,

"...a great [album], frequently it is a terrifying one...it adds a more modern attitude, one that has been much sought after in the modern world; a love of the intangible, a feeling for violent contrasts and the terrifying phenomena of nature and strange human physiognomies..."

Track Name: Losing Sleep (f. Pyeng Threadgill)

Lyrics:

I make a lot of room
And I take a lot of risk
I done wasted a lot of time
Now what’s yours once was mine

I don’t count no sheep
And this ain’t no rebel dream
I been losing sleep
From your well-crafted scheme

I make a lot of room
And I take a lot of risk
I been losing sleep
From your well-crafted scheme

Tempt me with loyalty
Test me, I’ll make you see
Take me seriously
Take me seriously
Track Name: Modern Sleeping II

Lyrics:

Hush

Get away

No
Track Name: The Poor Man's You (f. Pyeng Threadgill)
-

Lyrics:

What a waste of time
And what a waste of money

I’ve got mouths to feed
Buildings and bridges and roads to build

And I love you so, you know
But you watch too many of them damn talk-shows
Track Name: Half Asleep (f. Pyeng Threadgill)
-

Lyrics:

I know you’re tired
I’m tired too
How can I make you understand?

My daydreams are fading
My appetite increasing

And I love you, it’s true
But a little change could do me and you

I know you don’t like to dance
And you really do take your time
But there’s just one dance you gotta do
If we’re gonna make it through

When I’m half awake, you’re half asleep

Resting beside me
Time just seems to fly
Resting beside me
Track Name: Tax Cut (f. Luz Mob)

Lyrics:

Wake up
