I died and I found this heart It's all real, the nightmare has gone And you are, for me, the highest dream I have no fears, no signs of doubt.

Heavy Life 04:29
Very soon I'll walk alone, very soon I'll walk alive, everyday will be fine, but it's too soon, heavy life and I'm still late, heavy life I still think about it every night I'm sick of them, now I want to be in your eyes I still think about the animal life when I feel stray, it’s just the heavy life Secret life after a secret death, secret shrine I wanna be in your eyes to see your grace beyond the end of the light, heavy life I still think about it every night, when I feel gray I want you in my eyes, when I feel strained, it’s just the heavy life I still love you when the day is done, I still love you when the day is new, but it's too soon inside this heavy life
3.
Lost in Time 04:50
Find yourself a little house to stay as I pretend to live in a state of grace, I've been lost in time, stuck there in the road I’ll find something lost inside, stuck there in the road for a while Find myself inside a little hole of mine as I began to dig inside myself at night, cause I don't know what's mine, stuck there in the road, still there I've been listening to the sound that made my heart so drained no one will be hurt this time It seems just like you're real sometimes, stuck there in the road to see, I would like to roll this time, but it seems just like you're real sometimes, stuck there in the road, I would like to know what's right I've been lost inside your heady lies stuck there in the road to see, I would like to roll this time, but it seems just like you're real sometimes, stuck there in the road, I would like to know what's right, what's right, what's right

(Coda) 02:44
I've been lost twice, now I'm sitting around just with myself, I've been locked inside myself, inside myself, like an island in my head You’ve been a loss of time a city that I will never face I've been lost inside your maze
5.
L is on C 01:35
Allison sees, Allison tries, like the sun in her sight, like the sparks in your eyes I won't see, I won't see you grow I won't see you grow, while everybody knows what to say, I want to see you grow while everybody aims to foul play
6.
Naked Start 04:09
I died, it's a naked start again, just roll your dice, I lost another branch and - forget, arise, I’m lost into the air I breathe, don’t fear this dive I will dare to be my best this time, as I began to really hope it's true, I won’t break apart for you a new life, where inner light is your bride, you’ll see the sound, everything that you are is now the truth I tried to make you smile again, when we were flies, I lost another day, inside your eyes I’m floating in this scent of change, it feels like dying, when you're on a string a new sight, a new life
7.
Feel 04:11
I feel and what's more, I feel my heart too grave will I become what I’ve ever desired? I fear my heart’s too pale, as it fades in my head, it’s you in every line Feel inside that every day it's new, every day another point of view, you’ll see what's right through your dreaming eye, ready to lie dreaming eyes Now you’re hiding on the edge of silence as I'm running after hear’ you say "it's not the end" I feel, and what's wrong? I fear my heart’s too pale Will I become what they ever desired? A fit and my heart will fail It’s just a phase, it’s in my head, it’s you In every line, every line... Now you’re hiding on the edge of silence As I’m running from the things you said, it’s not the end, you’re still hiding on the edge of silence as I’m running from the things you said, it’s just the end
8.
Yourizon 03:08
Sun's still rising, let's find myself, the city is hiding, just free yourself and since you turned to dust ‘t was not the end of your life anything, everything, it's like an endless "follow you", it's like a headless feel let’s fight against my own hollowness Sister heaviness, your cinema breaks sunday's fever, your sudden fate but when I turn to dust it’s just another start ‘cause everything, everything, it's like an endless "follow you", it's like a headless fever let’s fight again inside my sorrow Anything it's not yourizon, let's fight again, fill your heart, it's like an endless fever, let's fight again, but tomorrow
9.
Lunacy 09:34
I lived my life like a little black cat, it's something I could never describe, it's like holding up the same old cards, if you were like that little black cat... everything that you don’t want is like an endless lie in my eyes, everything here it’s pure, is there anybody here for me? I lived my life like a little black cat, it's something I could never describe, it's like holding up the same old cards, I’m sending out your seeds into the sea... everything that you don’t want is like an endless lie inside, everything there it’s real, is there anybody here for me? Silent love, I'll stay, to see how far we go heavy eyes on me, they see how far I go Every day is a war, always there, my love you can go far, everything you want, always there my love, you can go far I will set the scene, there’s something in the frame. I can feel the loss, but in the dust we’re all the same and now I feel, and now I feel, like dying.

about

Born in 1993 within the eastern suburbs of Rome, Marco already wrote and produced two albums under the moniker Weird. – while providing lyrics and guitars for psych maven Sonic Jesus [Fuzz Club Records].

Lately he played more than a hundred gigs throughout Europe, sharing stages with Black Angels, The Underground Youth, TOY, Girls Names, Disappears, The Veldt. Back to everyday life he improvised a bunch of songs while moving home, switching jobs: old memories emerged and melt up with frustrations, new visions and hopes. Still with no instrument around all the music sprout up in his head, so that right after one year a whole new album was ready.

A new identity had to be found – and that’s how True Sleeper​ was born.

• • •
His debut is called Life Happened.
It’s a coming-of-age circular album involving the torments & perks of being in love, the duties of growing up, the hardest times spent on being sensitive, fragile and human in a world obsessed by power, egotism and idle vanity.

If you’re into #FlamingLips, Nothing, Whirr, Have a Nice Life or just enchanted by the presence of poignant melodies, layers of harmonies and guitars – this will definitely be your jam!

// LIFE HAPPENED //
a tale
by
True Sleeper

There was me, like in a coma. I was nobody. In my quest, started without any will, I found this golden, pulsating heart. Suddenly, I was alive. From that very moment, I swore I would have taken care of that heart, no matter what. With my new found consciousness, I started to walk. I walked and I walked until I realized my legs were too weak to go on. Finally resting in a meadow, memories of my past life emerged - scattered, confused, yet focused enough to feel the heaviness of what preceded my awakening. Anyway, my heart was still there with me, comfortably lying in my hand, speaking softly soothing things like «you're new now, everything will be fine». Eventually, thoughts became unstoppable that night. I got lost for a while, I was there again. Stuck in the road, waiting for something to happen: a call, a sound. Nothing, just silence. Everything was motionless. A certain presence in the air, maybe. You could not rely on it, it just kept going back and forth, until finally it went away, leaving me powerless. No longer it would have harmed me nor my heart. A cloud of calm awareness now embraces me. I will never face the presence of my past anymore. And the maze where I was in, suddenly became as clear as an open field in a sunny day.

«I won’t see you grow.»

The sun set slowly as I was transported in a dark wood. A strong wind whistling through the trees. There’s a pier at the end of the forest. We’re at the showdown. No turning back. It’s just a leap forward, towards the reality. I won’t fear this dive.
