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

A New Place by Levi Robinheart [lyrics]

I’ll vacuum the carpet once we arrange all our figurines Funny the way that a thing catches dust without moving A push and a pull there It’s like someone put salt on the floor Really feels like the present or is that just how you came through the door?

[CHORUS: They’ve got a couple of trips to make before the end of the day They’ll be surprised to wake up and find that yesterday wasn’t a dream ]

But was it a stop sign climbin the stairs with the tables ‘n chairs? It’s just that my fingers were harmed but at least I get you in my arms Imagine the walls filled and we swim away through the living space We’ll hook up the thick screen I’m hopin the gang finds the new place easily

[CHORUS]

come on, I got some windows for ya

Walkin the list And they’ve got a couple of trips to make before the end of the day They’ll be surprised to wake up and find that yesterday wasn’t a dream Fresh out the past and color the pieces last They’re pushin up the canopy first Their brains’ll be hot Their bodies, dry But by the end they’re gonna see where it leads

I got the sheets There’s nobody left here to thank but us We’re gatherin dust I’m glad that we’re stuck in a new place

Imy -- birthday.file by Levi Robinheart [lyrics]

I only know how to write one song and that’s “I Miss You” I’ve missed you more than I’ve ever loved myself in my whole life I know it’s not alright but I had a birthday just like that 1975 song but this time you were really there and I was gawkin at your hair and we talked until I had to leave my bed

I been scrollin through my cells tryin to teach myself how to think right but sometimes my consciousness goes away ‘cause I wish I was a loner in seaside I just wanna spend all of my money on a car and just live around It’s not ideal, but at least I’ll be really alone and I’ll fall asleep just lookin at the stars and subconsciously wishin I was missin my arms

[CHORUS: I’m dancin in the bed of my truck like we did that one time (that one time) Workin like a drug lookin for some love for another time (oh another time) I know you’re really gone but my brain is sayin otherwise Don’t even know what I would do if you walked into the room What’d I expect? I guess I’ll go to bed one more time (on my own time) ]

I keep lookin for you out in the forest except I know I won’t find you I know it’s probably embarrassing to know That I’m still dreamin about you and I don’t tell my friends about it cause I’m scared of what they’re gonna say Should I just keep lyin and hopin that I don’t have any dreams? I’m full o’ doubt, words really can’t amount but I can’t keep livin in the same old house

Sometimes I wish that I was an artist instead of honest with you ‘Nd sometimes I wish that there was a change in what I wanted to tell you Oh, and have you got a girlfriend now? (have you got a girlfriend now?) cause I swear that’s all they ever used to talk about and you (talk about) shouldn’t feel guilty for anything I do cause I’m not that sane anymore

[CHORUS]

I’m startin to regret that I ever told you anything Cause it takes away the dream of me, and cause it’s all true ‘Nd thought all year you’ve been the only one I’ve thought to exist I can’t stop from thinkin like a narcissist Just tell me if you’re done, I wouldn’t blame you one Cause I only ever hope for myself

I’m dancin in the bed of my truck like we did that one time Workin like a drug lookin for some love for another time I know you’re really gone but my brain is sayin otherwise Don’t even know what I would do if you walked into the room What’d I expect? I guess I’ll go to bed one more time (on my own time)

Sunflow’rs Again by Levi Robinheart [lyrics]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
