hook:

…See the world and I try to shed light
Lotta wrong has unfurled that I can’t make right
I used to wonder why, but then one night
I opened my eyes- when you kill to survive
Then you can’t fight the demons that are on your side

“Perry Porter”:

Toe to toe, with a friend or foe
Lion with the sheep, but hunted by the wool
Reflection blown by the indo smoke
Lying in the streets, still trying to be cool
When the lights get dim, I get frightened when,
I’m surrounded by the likes of them
The spotlights on the stage
They’re trying to throw shade
…at the sight of him
So I box then when, I’m boxed in
This Coffin, I’m often, trying’ walk in
To the dark end, talking
To the darkness, my heart seems to get it’s darkest
When I think somebody’s following
When I think somebody’s following
Fuck it my future always seem so bright (bright)
End of the tunnel where I see that light (light)
These shadow clones, trying’ shatter bones
And forecast over my life (life)
Cold winter…. The world just sounds soft
But I’m a groundhog and found y’all, over looking my down fall

CARLisDEAD:

Mine don’t let me sleep at night
Tensions run high and they keep it tight (tight)
Like can’t exhale tight
Lung blown up with that air gone stale
I…I burn bright (gleaming)
But hanging overhead see the shadows creeping
…On the ceiling, and in the deepening
Corners of my brain, tryn’a tame that feeling
Feeding on the bleeding is a need that’s breeding
Leading the proceedings to relieve those reeling
Back with a terrified glance at the parasites
Leeching and then breeching paradigms they’re keeping
Pressure on the weathered tryn’a set the world together
But it never severs tethers with the levers of the lectures
Centered ‘round a mound of sound that’s ground abound
Up in their mouths but when announced they don’t amount
To nothing better than a dead “whatever”
Clever…they keep the world on its pinky toes
Any sparks in this darkness? (Gimme those)
Take the bad with the good,
But the good’s looking’ ugly so trust me-
At best this is semi-pro
Lemme go, I’m about to snap- hut hut
So i roll with fist packed- what chump?
But they looking’ at me like that ain’t what’s what
Finger wagging got me holding’ back like, tut tut…

bridge:

Day in, day out
Pursuing happy ain’t a safe route
But no matter the price we pay
It won’t happen today
So we say off with their heads
Kill ‘em all dead
Don’t stray from the road that we tread
But no matter how many we slay
It won’t happen today

Happy Halloween- Treat your ears right. Listen to this track.

They don’t know what it’s like to be a freak
Let it settle in, let it settle in, c’mon
What’s the color of the skin on your teeth?
They wanna know about the color that it bleeds
I don’t think, therefore I am… (not)

…Not gonna stop the nonsense of process
Or process the nonsense lost with the conscience
Of content lost in the nonsense process of all this…nonsense
I’m honest to God when I speak of the Devil
Stand face to facade and talking heavy metal
Nerves of steel and stares that were cold as could be
‘Cause he was, ‘cause he was, ‘cause he was….

No average citizen…
Long live the elite, and death to degenerates
Same with the immigrants
Who work for no pay and no god damn benefits
Since when did a heaven sent population
Become abominations of ungodly nations
Melted into one? They wanna tip that pot
‘Fore it gets too hot now…
No more rap music…
That shit made the youth go crazy
It put guns in schools
And had a handful of babies having babies
And it might sound crazy
It might sound ignorant
But you can’t blame the television set
‘Cause according to the “prophets”
That shit is God sent

They don’t know what it’s like to live green
Let it settle in, let it settle in, c’mon
Everybody’s busy livin’ up their dreams
Diggin’ in their pockets, tearin’ up the seams…

Check that mess out!

WHOA! Here it is. Finally, right?

Just a fun little EP put together in haste for you guys.

Hope you like it! We worked on it with people from all over the world!
And we’ll be releasing full projects with most of them in the near future!

Just head to sleepsteady.bandcamp.com to download! 

Soon to be released (circa Aug 2011), the Summer Over-Seize EP will feature tracks produced by multiple talented artists from overseas.

It will be free, and it will be fun.

Check back here later for updates, download links, etc.

And if you haven’t already heard, check this out!

What the funk has Sleep Steady been doing since the My Walk, Man music video release? Lots of stuff:

Pwning Noobs

Hydrating

And least importantly, working on new music.

Since the beginning of 2011, we’ve been working with a few producers overseas, and come late July/early August we’ll be releasing a free EP to introduce you to them. After that, you can expect some more releases featuring these highly talented producers.

In the meantime, go here and listen to our oldness until our newness becomes presentness.

Sweet Dreams!
