Sleep on the floor
Give up the bed
A bird flew in
It dropped down dead
Brain on the floor
The sheets are wet
No worries when
There should be dread
No worries when
There should be dread
I should be scared
Of what it meant
A white bird dead
No innocence
What came before?
Guilt weighs like lead
Coincidence?
A warning sent?
I should be panicking
I will lose you
You will lose me too

I cannot change things
I cannot hit rewind
Much as I'd like to
I cannot get back the time
Can't tell the difference
Between your truth and a lie
Weight on my shoulders
Anger built up over time
Don't know how to tell you
Without causing tears in my eyes
I fucking hate you
And it is eating me alive

Feel like giving up
I don’t feel worthy
How could I be?
You don’t even know me
Don’t get my hopes up
I’ve been so lonely
Please
Please?
Skin isn’t enough
I need you to hold me
and
Be consistent
How can I love
Anyone else
If I don’t learn
To love myself
I’ve been so lost
I let my shame own me
Can’t feel
I can’t feel
If my heart’s the cost
Please let me pay slowly
Deal?
Do we have a deal?
How can I love
Anyone else
If I don’t learn
To love myself

Tukutendereza Yesu
I am figuring things out
Am I home or am I not home?
Sometimes here, I’m filled with doubt
Under sun feel I belong here
But then I feel I stick out
My skin soft, it is at ease here
But my voice makes foreign sounds
And I don’t know
Which way I should go
Pull apart everything I know
Two lands, call neither one home
Tukutendereza Yesu
But I’ve loved this winters mouth
I am cold and bigotry stays here
Psychosis has worn me out
No longer believe in saviours
I have tried to be devout
I am struggling with changing
To decolonise my house
And I don’t know
Which way I should go
Pull apart everything I know
Two lands, call neither one home
Tukutendereza Yesu
I am figuring things out
Am I home or am I not home?
Sometimes here, I’m filled with doubt

Daudi Matsiko's debut album 'The King of Misery' is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of depression, bipolar disorder, and
finding hope in that experience.

Lauren Laverne - BBC 6 Music
“Rarely do you find and hear people like him, there are no other Daudi’s that I know”
Gilles Peterson - BBC 6 Music
“One of the great records of the year!”

Promises
by Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders & The London Symphony Orchestra
supported by 12 fans who also own “Dead Bird Dream”
Even at 80 years old, Pharoah Sanders played his tenor sax with the conviction of a gospel preacher. Every second of this album is arrestingly beautiful. As far as I'm concerned, this is essential listening regarding all genres of music.
