"true.deep.sleeper" 
you run and you stay 
you turn in shame

You burn my heart away 
your thoughts are all the same 
true sleep will fall away 
as you run into my dream

you turn to pray 
you kneel... fall away

you burn my tears away 
my want is all your game 
my heart will hide the shame 
as I fall into your dream

you burn my heart away 
you turn my thoughts to shame 
true pain will fall away 
as you run into my dream

true.deep.sleeper

This is a reworking of the track from 2007’s ‘Strangely Familiar For All The Right Reasons’. 
With some synth reworking and added vocals. However, all the guitar work is my original playing from 18 years ago. 
The title comes from often swing this guy at the bus stop in London. Perhaps in his late 40s. Scruffy. Not homeless, but unable or unwilling to look after himself properly.  He’d be stood there, punching numbers into an oversized calculator every time a bus came and went. Never, not once, did I see him ever get on any bus. 
With the vocals and detuned vocoder…. In 2025 it’s become a story of unrequited love between an infatuated woman and a man too busy and connected to tech to notice.
