Strawman By Levi Robinheart [lyrics]

You’re a tunnel and the wind is your bully Blood-red wine will drip down your straws Your throat is coated in dust, mind you A testament to your sold-out heart

I’m a garage made for anyone to sleep in I’ll hold your boxes if you just shut the door Don’t wake the walker in his sleep, mind you He’d bound to cry another night for you

[CHORUS: I couldn’t tell if there’s too much I couldn’t tell if it’s not enough It’s so strange the way that the weather turns a dime I couldn’t say if that’s the way I felt but I’m sure glad that you’re here You can sew me up, I’ll be fine with that You just sew me up, I’ll be fine with that ]

Nobody gives the kid their orders Nobody gives the girl away Nobody’s old with the rest of them Somebody love Nobody’s body away

A phantom in the alley sings their heart out ‘cause they can’t find a single word to say And when the singin’s done and there’s nowhere else to go the Strawman brings his hat along the way

[CHORUS]

I bet a pencil could go writin’ through my forearm A squish would send me flat along the floor You’re here to kiss me, I’m here to kiss you too if to keep myself from headin’ out the door

My blood is low now and beauty seems so easy You make me wish that I was older by a day There’s nothin’ in my coat I wouldn’t give, mind you, to have the salt across my tongue another time

[CHORUS] x 2

You just sew me up, I’ll be fine with that

This Kid by Levi Robinheart [lyrics]

This Kid By Levi Robinheart [lyrics]

‘nd someday I’ll fall asleep, ‘nd I’ll wake up flyin’ ‘nd maybe you will get to see what I look like these days, I don’t get too far on prayin’ on a shootin’ star that I might be ‘nd maybe I won’t dream when I fall asleep, ‘nd I won’t think of the kid I oughta be layin’ on the floor you get closer to the end it’s sure ‘nd I don’t forget how I made you feel wrong, how I gave you all that grief, and how I made you leave take my blood ‘nd take my brains, you know what to do, I just need a little bit o’ space you said “it’s alright”, is it though? ‘cause the heart don’t lie ‘nd mine gets a little bit cold

I don’t wanna be this kid anymore I don’t wanna be this kid anymore I don’t wanna be this kid anymore I don’t wanna be this kid anymore I don’t wanna be this kid anymore I don’t wanna be this kid anymore

You’ve got a silver necklace ‘nd I wanna know, do you see me or do you see the hair on my bones? How do I show ‘nd make up for the kid in the club who didn’t know they was better off alone Each day I eat my weight in self-hate, ‘nd each night I curse myself to sleep ‘Nd if we ever meet, I hope you see that I wanna die with my heart empty

I don’t wanna be this kid anymore I don’t wanna be this kid anymore I don’t wanna be this kid anymore I don’t wanna be this kid anymore I don’t wanna be this kid anymore I don’t wanna be this kid anymore

I don’t wanna be this kid anymore I don’t wanna be this kid anymore I don’t wanna be this kid anymore I don’t wanna be this kid anymore I don’t wanna be this kid anymore I don’t wanna be this kid anymore

No, no more

Sunflow’rs Again - Official Lyrics

Sunflow’rs Again - Official Lyrics

by Levi Robinheart

[VS1]: I woke up the Fosters They called out a curse I'm tired of weekdays My tongue's getting worse I like when it rains here I can't go outside I hope you still like me I'm scared in my mind

[PC1]: All the weather's out And every day feels like today Got no promises Attention is scrolling away Feel the rhythm hold me down I look outside and see

[VS2]: My friends are in safety They still make me laugh My surface is shaking He looks like a calf I hate when I sleep in I like when I sleep I don't wanna wait for you But at least I'll get to speak with you 

[PC2]: Eyelids heavy now I only hear the things that you say Can't remember it But I can see the light in your face Feel the river hold me down I look outside and see There's sunflow'rs again There's sunflow'rs again

[VS3]: Not sure what I'm thinking It's harder to say Don't know what I'm feeling But you feel okay You're holding me forward I'll do what I can If I could move faster I'd stay where I am

[PC3]: Hold these doors There's more of 'em when you look away You're myself At least that's what I want you to say I feel you pull me down I look to you and see There's sunflow'rs again There's sunflow'rs again

[CH]: I'll put you away for the moment Can't sleep away what you've given me now I know I'll cry in the mornin' Keep wonderin' if you were even there I'll put you away for the moment Can't sleep away what you've given me now I know I'll cry in the mornin' Keep wonderin' how you were even there 'Til the flowers Come back

Before The Rest - Official Lyrics

Before the Rest - Official Lyrics

by Levi Robinheart

[VS1]: Keep your brains up there Workin and a-chewin’ That’s the way to do it Pour some flowers o’er Wind’ll take you through it Out before you knew it Search through all the parts that drive you mad All the cars, they can turn you to a nomad Just a breath right here Out before you knew it

[CH1]: No, it’s not fair I miss your face You can look but you can’t go back Give your buddies some before the rest of your life comes

[VS2]: Dip your fingers in Feel the water wiggle Stay because it tickles Reach as far as you can One day we’ll have made it First we gotta weigh it In a year you won’t believe how far you walked When you land you’ll be ahead of what you stepped on Once the gloves come off I swear I’m gonna squeeze you

[CH2]: I know this year took our lunch but every wild horse has its run before you see the sky and the rest of our lives come

[BR]: The moonshine makes you wither The dirt clumps start to smither The cows come home to visit The clouds don’t like my flowers I wish I said the thinking I feel my toes are sinking From what I know I liked you If I knew, I’d’ve said you’re lovely

[DA-DA-DAs]: (da da daaa-dat da-da da-da-da) (da da daaa-dat da-da da-da-da-da-da-da) [x4]

[CH3]: It’s just a break It’s not that long It’s just another sixteen minute song A few deep breaths You’ll still look good I’ll see you when you’re swimmin’ in the Sun and when we’re there I swear to god I’ll hold you with every last bleeding inch We will see the sky

before the rest of my life comes and pulls me away

End of Term by Levi Robinheart [lyrics]

End Of Term By Levi Robinheart [lyrics]

Look out the window it’s time for the sanitization Calm down sailor the end’s just an anchor aweigh Well you killed any love that I had for the organization So write your letter but we all know what you’re gonna say

[CHORUS: I couldn’t wait I couldn’t wait for the end of term It’s been a long day comin home I couldn’t wait I couldn’t wait for the end of term It’s been a long day comin home ]

You tried, buddy but you can’t depend on your slander now The boots of the people will stain all the back o’ your coat Was it worth it to try holdin back all the Mountain Due? Was it worth it to shout at the crowds just to end up alone?

[CHORUS]

Roll out the carpet our friend here is takin a final bow You’ll look your best when you’re givin your closin speech And there’s no defendin your ass now the grownups’ll take it from here now say hi to the devil when you get back home from the beach

[CHORUS]

It’s been a long day comin home It’s been a long day comin home It’s been a long day comin home

Microwave (What Else(Poor Yorick)?)  by Levi Robinheart [lyrics]

Microwave (What Else(Poor Yorick)?)  By Levi Robinheart [lyrics]

The only time I lie at peace is when I’m swimmin’ in my lay You kiss me gentle and my heart feels nice she’s got nothing to say I must remiss myself for what the world has given me today Romantic Hamlet for my skull’s become a Microwave

[CHORUS: What else am I supposed to think? Show me what else I can think What else am I supposed to think? Show me what else I can think ]

Hope I don’t lose myself because of how these fists pound on my head We woke up coughin took a walk around the morgue and paid the rent Study-compose and theorize but shoot ‘em out? I don’t see why ‘cause she’ll condole and you’ll say “fine” but you’re still stuck with this guy

[CHORUS]

You keep my quietus my bones are fine my bod-can take a few I know you care-an all but no one needs so I’ll carry-on with you A cigarette without the taste If I can’t digest I just chew A radon test A flashing light Don’t tell me we’re just like you?

[CHORUS]

I kick it over all the time Well I can train it if I try An early bed but still no sign of progressing past the web-foot line Department expiration lights They see me staring at the tide And Paris baby wants a ride I know she can’t be far behind

I’ll Be With You Soon by Levi Robinheart [lyrics]

image

Well I been wastin’ here for weeks just simply thinkin bout the calories I know I’ve had it all before so what’s one more While you been sleepin’ on your car and dreamin’ bout the touch that broke your heart Your diner’s flickerin’ with light I hope you haven’t changed your mind about missin’ me

[CHORUS: And I’ll be with you soon Do you think it’s true then the kids come pourin’ in to the sink It’s my fault Kick it along and share the pain with me and I’ll be runnin’ along the fence Do your thing I know I missed the night so pois’nously with the tea It’s their fault K-keep it cold for me and I know I’ll be with you soon ]

Well you been floodin’ all the tubs and losin’ money on your reccin’ clubs I’m wearin’ sunscreen for the fun I ate a gun We can talk about your dad I missed the way your music makes me sad We’ll string our LEDs around a movie with no sound This building sounds like love

[CHORUS]

Another harbinger to go I swear your slapstick never let me go I’ll take your em’nate vertigo I want to go go go go go! You’ve got a cycle on your phone An’ your Manga Carta’s gonna take you home You feel the pavement on the lawn but you’ve brought the drinks in on and on and they disintegrate my bones

We’re tossin’ boulders on the shore Your clothes are kickin’ down the door And I love your belly button more Don’t tell me what your friends are for We’ll lose the bats in the sky You’ve met the perfect guy Don’t mind the way that you lie in the car with your head pointed out to the wind We’re drivin’ out into the wind

[CHORUS] x 2

I’ll be with you soon Yeah, keep it cold for me and I know I’ll be with you soon

Musical Lips by Levi Robinheart

image

Feels like I just woke up Where's that music comin from? I don't remember drivin' over but somethin' just told me I should get less comf'table 'Nd I never seem to say what I mean but I swear I mean it now Keep an eye on your friends Drink up your insecurities with me if you haven't got a number

Well you sang (you sang) your heart out, Miss Yesterday (Miss, Miss, Miss Yesterday) But you'll come back some other way And we'll blame all the rain on the door and the frame 'Cause life just happens anyway

It's almost New Year's Day Champagne has found its wings They're cryin' out for one more heartache One round of musical lips is passing by (yiay-yiay-yaiy-yiay-yiay-yiay-yiay)

Been watchin' him all night Oh, you gotta be quicker than that I pictured there'd be fewer bodies n' voices that I could save it and just talk to him He cannonballs on all my bills And I spent too much of my year just starin' at the dreams of livin' things I think my watch is broken

'Nd if I'm alone ('Nd if I'm alone) when it plays (when it plays) I get the privilege of my own face (my own face) 'Nd I'll save my hoorays for the mornin' bidet Hell, I'll just send it anyway

It's almost New Year's Day Champagne has found its wings They're cryin' out for one more heartache One round of musical lips is passing by I know it's okay I just hate to hear you say it once again Can't shake the question: "Will it ever be?" Babe, it's almost New Year's Day So here I'll stay

(sick kazoo solo)

I don't remember (don't remember) All the yesterdays (all the yester, all the yesterdays) What did I want?  Honey, what did I say? Give me a moment while I pick up my pace with the truck that's been comin' up the highway

It's New Year's Day Champagne has found its wings They're cryin' out for one more heartache One round of musical lips is passing by I know it's okay I just hate to hear you say it once again Can't shake the question: "Will it ever be?" Baby, it's New Year's Day And nothing's changed

Elephant Babies by Levi Robinheart [lyrics]

Elephant Babies By Levi Robinheart [lyrics]

Something strange to me must be something wrong Something that doesn’t care who for I can’t say anything anymore but everything in me was already said before

You’re a stranger daddy’s gotta getcha is daddy gonna getcha yet?

you don’t have any skin I feel big in this apparatus I been carrying this since I foundout how it happens I’m not scared, look at me don’t you be so sensetive don’t you look at her that way! don’t you love him anymore?

I don’t have the light in my eyes it’s just reflectin off the glasses You don’t seem so kinda weird until the particle passes

There’s no safety where you’re from it’s same and it’s different for me mad as hell to find a girl who doesn’t care about rights it’s all they expect from a clan I swear I could take you and they’d say it’s typical

cause you got too close I don’t get what I want enough I need daddy to say that I’m special cause he loves me, loves me, loves me, loves me just like a gun

how can this be the life? stayin in my hometown my whole life watchin the animals lie I know, that’s right Found her, I was sleepin on a rock this old rock that I never listen to but I love so dearly this old rock

She says I’m searchin for  acceptance and investment rejected to me when I was in development ‘n that I’m the  product of generations of misguided communication and the entitled adoration of an overzealous nation built upon intimidation and the lack of acknowlation of the feral sterilization by religious militarization and embration of what they don’t even know will hurt them

and I listened and I listened and all I could say was “I guess”

how can this be the life? theory wear for the thrill of anger throwin darts at a chalkboard ‘cause anythin’s better than dyin alone (I’m dyin alone)

is it okay to think this way about people you don’t give a shit about? is it alright to feel this way about someone you might give a shit about? is it okay to think this way about people you don’t give a shit about? is it alright to feel this way about someone you might give a shit about?

how bad can it get? how bad is this gonna get? is it too late for me to give up the ghost?

is there a way? is there any way? is there any way at all?

In My Basement by Levi Robinheart [lyrics]

image

Purple was the day we met Whoever she is I don’t know who she is She’s everybody and I think that means That I’m goin to Hell I’m already in Hell What the hell She’s got a brain She knows it, too It makes sense If it don’t end happy, you know

(Stop Me!)

[CHORUS: It’s never goin away I’m stuck with you in my basement in my basement You and your stoning eyes All the words unsaid Do you think I coulda made it? Too soft, too rough And you always seem to say enough Oh god, enough You better tie me down Cause it’ll happen again in my basement in my basement ]

I found him through an open door Whoever he is I don’t care who he is He’s all I think about, I don’t feel smart He’s so cool with himself Why couldn’t I meet him? He’s got his friends, I got mine, too Sure it’s alright If I don’t make him happy, you know

(Stop Me!)

[CHORUS]

Oh, take a simple way to say the things you know Oh, such a simple way to say the things you don’t want to know

I see their eyes a golden lens Whoever they is I think I know who they is They’s all I want, my life is a joke They says “that isn’t true I like believin in you” They gives me heat, they goes back home Sure it’s fine If I still gotta let them go

(Stop Me!)

[CHORUS]

(in my basement in my basement in my basement in my basement in my basement in my basement in my basement in my basement)
