So, India is dying.

Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.

If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.

A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.

There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.

There is no plan.

Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.

Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.

We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.

This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.

We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.

People are dying.

People are dying.

People are dying and there is no plan.

More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.

My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.

Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.

But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.

She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.

So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.

If you can, donate.

Or spread the word.

Help. Please.

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

Faceplant Child by Levi Robinheart [lyrics]

It’s over I know God won’t forgive me I don’t want to apologize even though I do I gave I gave and then I gave it up It’s not worth the looks ‘n the dirty grins I’m first And you said “don’t forget who you are, boy” but I’m not gonna save you I don’t even know how it feels I don’t even know how I feel

[PRE-CHORUS: Don’t. say. that you’re proud of me I ain’t about to  come. back. cause this house is already burnin’ drop. that. gun. I am not your broken bone I just don’t want to be there when you pull the trigger

Not. One. more time, even your heaven knows it I’m. done. and you can’t wrap your arms around the Black. Sun. Dear Krypton has left my heart and nothing could be further for now ]

I’m grievin’ hunched along the table I’m sick from the touch of your big hands I’m not your friend I’m cruel there’s no way of givin it to you I know you loved the U.S.A. better than me “Oh, you got some nerve” I know and I’ll take it with me It’s my fault just say it, it’s my fault and I’ve got no love Well I got no, I got no love and I

I half wished I would crash my car on the way back, it woulda just pushed it farther, the pain and the stress in a long dress but you wouldn’t give it a rest on the cryptid in my chest And I been thinkin’ ‘bout the way that you compliment I don’t consent, you never said what you meant but that’s fine ‘cause I’m out the line with the blood on my knuckles goin’ down the pipeline

(It’s been uplifting, to say the least, that our sources have become final We regret to inform you that there is no waking hour, we are alone here I don’t know what I would do if I was dead)

Oh, but [PRE-CHORUS]

Oh, here I am, I’m a Faceplant Child! I’m Grendel crawlin’ for the ghosts in the wild I’m the Adam’s apple who’s fallen from the line of Cain and I’m dermurin’ Burnham and I’m murderin’ time with your signet on the left and the door on the right and I’ll kick up who I am when I’m runnin’ as fast as I can

(You said “don’t forget who you are” You said “don’t forget who you are”) But I’m not who you are (You said “don’t forget who you are”) But I’m not who, I’m not who you are (You said “don’t forget who you are”) I’m not who you are I’m not who you are

(I half wished I would crash my car on the way back, it woulda just pushed it farther, the pain and the stress in a long dress but you wouldn’t give it a rest on the cryptid in my chest And I been thinkin’ ‘bout the way that you compliment I don’t consent, you never said what you meant but that’s fine ‘cause I’m out the line with the blood on my knuckles goin’ down the pipeline I half wished I would crash my car on the way back, it woulda just pushed it farther, the pain and the stress in a long dress but you wouldn’t give it a rest on the cryptid in my chest And I been thinkin’ ‘bout the way that you compliment I don’t consent, you never said what you meant but that’s fine ‘cause I’m out the line with the blood on my knuckles goin’ down the pipeline)

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

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

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

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)

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

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

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

Why don’t you take a break, dear from standin with your bones so dry? What good is all the pain if it only ends to let you ache?

Why don’t you take a break, dear from starin at your screens all day? I know it’s comin but if you’ll just stay your hands You’ll be here ‘nd I’ll be with you When the sirens reach our door Spare your spine, for as you sleep it grows more beautiful Your soul is far more restless when you steal it so I miss it, too, you know

come close In the morning you can feel the sun escape your breath or you could lose yourself tonight and wonder when you left And as it seems, there’s a ransom at the core of impossible routines

Why don’t you take a break, dear? Everybody goes some day I miss the way it felt to cryssal your eyes You’ll be here and I’ll be with you when the moment needs you most And I will hold your taken heart and weep so criminal You keep the pressure going ‘cause it’s what we do I know you miss it, too

stay close In the morning you can feel the sun within my chest And if you give me what you have I’ll give you what is left If we agree, I will miss you when we sleep but when we dream we will be queens again masters of the scene

Give you here, come to bed, rest your eyes and close your head as it rains, you’ll be here and I’ll be with you

Gala To-Night/Give Me Your Brains by Levi Robinheart [lyrics]

Sorry to the back room If it feels like a joke I might’ve kissed your eyes If the fireworks weren’t on my mind But solar fields are passing And it smells like carbon dead So I’ll shove away the traffic Cause it’s a gala tonight Yes it’s a superrage inside

/

Habilitation can make me nervous I met your eyes and you met my purple friend I’m not a hero, but I got no plans ‘cause I’m in the red Could you potentially Kill my sober? oh Tell me when tell me when it’s over You make me feel so useful Do you think it feels like just that type of night?

Give me your brains tonight And let me show you how I can be useful Give me your face tonight just if you want to I can be useful! Bet it’d be nice To drown in you Just say the word and kiss me while I’m blind With a break With a heart to die-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie

You make me shiver You make me sweat I’ll let you drink my blood Why don’t we give these people a show? It’s not a dance if nobody’s desperate To leave To go I can’t sit still, I could swear that you made me There’s so much hate to be had To be made with you Or anyone else who wants to I just need anyone else to want to

Give me your brains tonight And let me show you how I can be useful Give me your face tonight just if you want to I can be useful! Bet it’d be nice To drown in you Just say the word and kiss me while I’m blind With a break With a heart to die Cause let’s face it My dreams already flie-ie-ie-ie-ied And all that’s left is you

(Give me honey, baby give me fame I got a batch full o’ patches from out o’ state I don’t care whatcha feel I just care watcha make and you’re makin me feel like the spots in your face, I’m a ghost, facedown, facin drugs all around All the colors get noisy some nights but I’m tryin, yeah I’m tryin, yeah I’m tryin real hard to fly)

Break, Give me a break I’ve never owned a reason to chew so hard this way And take, God please just take Cause I’m a worm who wants to keep this dream awake Break, Cut me a break And let me know how it feels to blush where tears have stained Take, Please just take Well, it’s alright if you don’t want me anyway

Do you think it feels like just that type of night?

(come on, one more time!)

(Give me honey, baby give me fame I got a batch full o’ patches from out o’ state I don’t care whatcha feel I just care watcha make and you’re makin me feel like the spots in your face, I’m a ghost, facedown, facin drugs all around All the colors get noisy some nights but I’m tryin, yeah I’m tryin, yeah I’m tryin real hard to fly)

Give me your brains tonight And let me show you how I can be useful Give me your face tonight just if you want to I can be useful! Bet it’d be nice To drown in you Just say the word I’ll give you everything I have Everything I have! Just let me give you my brains! I’ll give you my brains! Give you my brains! Give you my brains!

It’ll never feel the same At least not fully But pull you through me And gently hold my Brains

i’m not yours anymore by Levi Robinheart [lyrics]

i know it’s gonna hurt i know your every word i can’t leave until i’m heard

i know you still think so for all i know, you do i’m not here to hear you say so i’m just breaking it to you

i don’t need anything i don’t need anything you don’t need everything

i don’t need anything i dnon’t need anything from you

i’m not yours anymore

Musical Lips by Levi Robinheart

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

In My Basement by Levi Robinheart [lyrics]

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)

Stop Believing by Levi Robinheart [lyrics]

(Your confidence interval is what’s going to tell you how confident you are in your results. So, first you, uh, subtract one from your sample size, this will give you the degrees of freedom from which, uhm, uh whi-which you’ll need in the next few steps. Uh, so, uh, take that number, divide it by two...)

I’m dead and my beak is filled with the dirt from the garden I’m not hungry, just fed to the brim I guess I just wanted to taste how I feel in your grip with the snow comin out of your eyes

I’m tired of kissin your hands every time that you whistle I know I’m a terrible girl I’m not gonna fix just because I know you want me to ever since I got home

I thought you’d get choked up, got your eyes shut, and you’re yellin in a cave I guess I’m just selfish, you’re the brightest car I’ve ever hit

[CHORUS: And I can tell from your skin that I’m lettin you down but I guess it’s just what I’m doin now it’d really help me out if you’d stop believin I’m better than this I got twelve cups and they’re all filled with lye so I’m watching you bleed with your eyes stop believin in me stop believin I’m better than this ]

I’m holed and my breath is still with your eyes from the steeple I can’t tell what you want me to say I’ll walk but I’d rather be runnin I’m not one to lie but I guess I’m too wrong to be true

I coulda kept quiet about all the stones that you fed like the loves that I held in my head there’s no one be- neath it’s just me so I’m sorry I’m not more profitable

I thought you’d get on top, but you’re not done, and I’m walking off the field You can call me selfish, you’re the brightest car I’ve ever hit

[CHORUS]

Pretty pictures all the other kids are swimmin alright she says she thinks we all think alike

Just say it’s alright and kick me off but don’t paint me away I may boil myself but don’t spit in my face

I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holed in, holed in holed in, holed in

I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holed in, holed in holed in, holed in

(I guess I’m just selfish, you’re the brightest car I’ve ever hit)

Oh, I can tell from your skin that I’m lettin you down but I guess it’s just what I’m doin now it’d really help me out if you’d stop believin I’m better than this I got twelve cups and they’re all filled with lye so I’m watching you bleed with your eyes stop believin in me stop believin I’m better than this

I’m not better than this Oh no, Stop believin in me Stop believin in me Stop believin in me Stop believin in me Stop believin, oh I guess I’m just selfish, you’re the brightest, holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin holdin, holdin holdin, holdin holdin, holdin hold

(holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m)

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?

Squirrel by Levi Robinheart [lyrics]

In the early morning gold mong the hours that kept her cold rose the honest heart Matilda rushing on through brush of old though the warning once she told there across it would unfold as the great once met the growing there Matilda met the road

The sight was neither here nor there the blanket comes to fall had every world been different would it be a sight at all?

Thought Matilda knows the ways the apes could keep her far away from her ends and from her children from those missing in her wake yes she knows the trusted cage how it sits in Packer’s place and the rolling buildings she will know  but not anticipate

Through the ragged vision lines came a flash and broken chime it was just too far a distance it was just too near a time as the condos flock on by Matilda searches with her eyes “If I can’t go with the back then with the front I will arrive”

Through the trees will harden through the winter’s pardon they won’t ask questions all the while though the fear will live and although they take and give it there is no hatred in the corrugated wild

Holiday is sore again, he’s s’posed to show at four came to build a presentation, little leaflets on the board He was flown by twenty floors, takin’ cracks that open doors, hopin’ Jesse there would ask him out and leave him wanting more

And Olive is his niece who wants to feel the bitter peace that invaded one Matilda on the road outside Caprice And her folks will make her crease while she’s learning legalese this machine is vending choc’late so she takes a bitter piece

In the modern garden the taller apes are guardin’ what you wouldn’t risk a mile All they know is love and thinkin’ worlds above when there is no wonder in the unsophistic wild

She troubled not to cry too much for Sellister zoolye as the keeper of her young, they couldn’t bear to know the sight Since the day has gone awry, she kissed ‘em all their heads goodbye and she traced her scent away to save the busy for the night

She promised not to die alone she means some other time after all of thousand colors she has yet to let outside Now she must avenge her life ‘fore dear Sellister arrives and she’ll drink up her water because she has to

As the rivers widen, the money rolls the tide in he keeps cuttin’ all the while A call will find a witness the young will state their business it’s gettin’ cold within the uncreated wild

Forging what the road surrenders, though she doesn’t ask for much as she’s taking in her living, she’s been giving out her blood No one calls, unless it’s urgent no one holds, none would try she’s been runnin’ for the mornin’, for the landlord soon arrives

Every once in two or three she’ll venture off into the trees, passing by the rocky billboards, searching for an old machine But all she finds are painted lines and decoration traffic signs if she could count the grass between her toes, she’d love ‘em all the time

Though her sight may widen, though her Fates are fightin’, she can’t stop it all the while But she’s got hearts to burn and a whole turntable turnin’ there is no rest from the unsophistic child

The Arctic makes a woodland break, for so it goes for all If all the young were different would there be a sound at all?

So Cial by Levi Robinheart [lyrics]

If I were you I'd think my face is a pie Maybe it's the makeup Or the way that you die When I dance on the ceiling It makes me alive But if I were in focus I think you would fly Fly, fly, fly, bye

I've metal-bonded my tent To the clothes that I wear I don't think that it matters I don't think that you care I came to the circus 'Cause the people are here And they don't want my tears

[CHORUS So cial, so So see-ah the show So cial So come see-ah the show I'm so cial, so So see-ah the show I'm so cial So come see-ah the show ]

(yeh)

I poked your eyes in the summer You can burn me today Think that I see it comin' I'll hand you the flame "There's plenty o' room here" You gave me a smile But I'm afraid if I sit My bones'll turn to a pile A high and mighty pile

I'm so scared if I miss you That I'll miss you some more Think if I'm bein' honest That I'm bein' a bore You said you want Good vibes only today So I'll throw me away

[CHORUS]

A banquet in the evenin' I'll be there tonight Lately I'm your puppet And you're my pride Think if I share my soul I'll get a laugh outta you So I'll lie and say That's what I intended to do

'Cause no one believes me Don't think that I'm real Where do the jokes end And where is the peel The gag in my mouth, dear It sings me a song But it can't hold for long

[CHORUS x2]

Come see-ah the show Come see-ah the show Come see-ah the show Come see-ah the show

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

Worth It by Levi Robinheart (lyrics)

I’m up ‘cause you’re in my room I’ll keep-a myself from sleepin’ There’s nobody else in you Is it worth it to keep on dreamin’? Is it worth it to close my hair or brush my teeth in the mornin’? Is it worth it to go upstairs? I dunno, but I sure am thirsty

You woke me up inside your mind and said there’s nothin’ here to see I felt your ankles when they sprained but all I understood was grief I came to you in search of Hobbit holes, some earlobes, and a dream But all you said was “here’s a mess, go stuff it up and fix me!”

My sparrows told me there would come a day you’d paint yourself in blue Don’t disrespect the way you talk to me the way I talk to you I hear MacBeth within your eyes I read MacDuff around my feet I guess we all prefer our lies so I say damn the whole thing!

I don’t wanna sleep with you I’m not gonna take your reasons I wish I could keep my cool I guess we could call it even

[CHORUS:

I’m gonna be big someday I don’t know what’s so important I cry ‘cause I want my way I jump ‘cause I can’t ignore it I wanna be everything I’m not gonna live forever I can’t hope to live with me If I’m just gonna give you everything ]

I stopped sweating through my pores because the Sun just doesn’t give The man I use to start a war is not the man I use to live Twenty miles an hour and silent as the kingdoms in the Alps We’re just the corpses of the future kin we used to care about

The nights I stare myself to death The hours spent murdering my nose The mi’r exposes me yet it’s the mi’r of that I hate the most Oh, how we’re stranded in the Mississippi kickin’ at a can I may be toothless but I just don’t see the gun in your hand

I just came to walk away It don’t matter if you want me Go on then and stuff your face I’d rather be dry and starving

[CHORUS]

I want to tear my face apart I want to squeeze you into space I want to step on all the stars and make this medicine my grave I want to set this house on fire and swallow dollar bills and change But most of all I want to kill your thoughts and prove I’m not a waste

I want to sail across the sea and drown in paper cuts and lime I want to scrub out all my teeth and make ‘em sharper than the sky I want to knock out all my friends I want my friends to poison me But I’m still yellin’ in my room so I say fuck this whole thing

I’m gonna be big someday I don’t know what’s so important I cry ‘cause I want my way I jump ‘cause I can’t ignore it I wanna be everything I’m not gonna let me fear you I can’t hope to live with me Please repeat yourself, I can’t hear you!

[CHORUS]

[miscellaneous cheering and whooping]

Is it worth it to save a life? Is it worth it if it’s my own? Is it worth it to feel alright if it means I can find my home? I just wanna leave something and everything hurts like hell If nothing is anything then anything could be anything

Worth It

For All We Have by Levi Robinheart

[sung to the tune of Auld Lang Syne]

Keep me awake and ring me out of ars’nic and of love Fulfill my weary trav’ling wish reaffirm the skies above For all we have is fear and hope these ends will gather means And ‘spire new beauty for our world and all of life between For grave surrounding time and love take hold of what you need For all we have is fear and hope and all of life between

Musical Lips by Levi Robinheart

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

Fever Face by Levi Robinheart

Fever in my head So comfortin If I wasn't dead I would kiss you again It feels like a storm I'm on a pressure plate It makes me feel better to write you again

My thoughts are all murky Misleadin me I could be a pirate But I'm lost without sea And when I'm woozy on the couch It's so true to me So lie to me and tell me That the trees never change

I don't buy it

And I wish I could give you Every story I had But these old wicked bones Didn't know of your care And I can't help but see you Cause I'm still goin mad And it's no fault of either But the clocks turn in squares

Fever in my heart Keep sleepin in I'll fade in these cushions Til I know you again Wanna drain my head S'all coploid here Was I your dear poet? You were my pioneer

It makes me feel summer Much harder, then Got all this freedom Got no way to spend You've got to feel cool With the wind again I'll be fine when it's over Just keep moving your pen

You're gonna be the best

And I wish I could give you Every story I knew But my brain would escape me When my hand was in yours And I woke from a nightmare I was waitin for you But I'm rudely aware we went through diff'rent doors

I still want to wait anymore

And my brains press the Walls of my skull And my trash doesn't Care who I am And the moss grows Inside my remorse Cause you're still Really wonderful And the murders remind me of you And I wonder which path was the mighta' been And it's not like we're that far away I just wish I could see you there And your hair It feels unfair

Fever face is close to a guinea hen I'm always surprised when you say I'm fantastic again

I'm sorry that I stared when I looked at you The things I want to say become hard around you

HSD! - Official Lyrics

by Levi Robinheart

[V1]: Don’t knock it til you’ve tried it There’s only so much left I’d rather waste away than be a part of an effortless death You’ll break but now you’ve made it Do your taxes look as real as this? It don’t matter if you’re okay Just as long as your money and your country is safe I know you I know all about you and all of your pain I feel just like you Take my hand, my eyes are startin to ache (--o ache) (--o ache)

[V2]: Stop the screamin that’s in my ear Punish me until I’m okay You can’t get anythin good round here Come and say that shit to my face What an embarrassing episode! At least you’ve still got a mind It’s all the same babe you’ll be gone in a week but I can’t say the same for your kind Stop the screamin Say what do you think does my house look okay? Stop believin I’m not a man, I’m the mayor today (today) (today)

[V3]: I bought my life in a Walmart You sold your soul to the feds Look at what you’ve accomplished in so little time Why aren’t you scared by this? You spend your afternoons throwin fists with the news but you ate another cricket and you’ll be home soon Sit and stare at your friends look for pity again No! I am the only character to say it depends (it depends, it depends) And the people agree I see you think you’re crazy and it’s scarin me Standin on a mine know you’re watchin me Now there’s nothin I can do about it! nothin nothin nothin nothin

Nighthaunt - Official Lyrics

by Levi Robinheart

[V1]: The trees make me whisper A spir’t of remorse The branches are careless and course The kings have all heralded A maim for my form The Cherrys’ll wait for the storm The people are pushin And cursin each other The love and indifference For dearest old mother The Sun puts me down With a wave of its breath I wish he would put me to death The vengeance of flowers The clock of the world The jigsawmill powers The tails getting curled It makes me feel passion But heavy with gears I wish I could say you’re my dear

[V2]: No rocks that will travel With wind made to mourn A voice becomes dead when they’re born A mutagen prosp’rous The hands-on relief A cure that they’ll curse in their sleep The sound of dear gunfire A panic is torn A feud between brainwire A side in his thorn The big fest is happenin But no one’s arrived The kid’s servin coffee inside A stairwell is breakin It creaks on the floor A hellwind is howlin Her thoughts get ignored The pangolin’s frownin A god’s smokin beer I wish that your harvest was near

[V3]: The forest got older The hills can’t explain There’s emptiness that falls with the rain The habits are circlin The train’s gone away There’s no one to see you today The mermaids are restless The fog’s swimmin north The spills come relentless A voice it comes forth And if your old waters Put off the same heat Condemn me for love in your seat You carried this travesty Guitars in your face I howl at your majesty A centaur’s in space And if you were cold By the warrior’s stand I wish you would play with my hands

[V4]: The Sun’s killing berries And shoes left to waste The setting’s lost all of its taste And if there is magma Awake in its hate Until it comes frozen, I’ll wait Cause now in this summit The tarot cards fold The businessmen plummet A moth turns to mold The bell’s on probation The dragon is stayed I’ll hate me for all that I’ve made I found your addiction It’s made with amends I’ll hold their afflictions If gravity bends I wish I could meet you And sell our mistakes I wish for this nighthaunt to break

I wish I could see you And kiss your green face but I’ll wait for the nighthaunt to break

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

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

Skeleton Forest - Official Lyrics

by Levi Robinheart

[VS1]: Rose chips are fallin' on a plate full of coffee grounds The sky is falling on our heads, but we're too busy with these clouds If I could just fall asleep on this bench right next to you If I could spend all my life in this aging month But our parents are callin'

[PC1]: I guess you're right I don't really think it matters either I've been taking empty pills all week But you paint my brain some pretty colors

[VS2]: Your eyes are too bright to hide, so don't apologize 'Cause I would rather waste my time with you inside this moment, petrified And by the way, I tried, and I'm sorry it took me so long There's something past the wall of mist that stands between us and the next few months

[PC1]

[CH1]: So let's rake these leaves and jump on in Let's dip our feet into the crick There's nothing like death to bring you to life So fill my bucket up with wonder Cut me open wide

[BR1]: I'll stand next to the road and You'll tell me where we'll go Tell me where to go My sock has a hole But I'm hopin' you can wrap me up and Feel the static beneath our feet Nustle up under the ghost-filled tree Slip into the blanket comfortably

[BR2]: We can pick up rocks and mud to build a pile of bones to hold us up Maybe someday they'll make a fortress filled with pictured buttercups But 'til then, let's run and play And we can dance between the skeletons Let's stop talking, a four-armed garden makes our bed (And the sky is fallin' on our heads) 

[PC2]: I guess you're right I don't really think it matters either I've been taking empty pills all week But you paint my brain so pretty 

[CH2]: So let's rake these leaves and jump on in Let's dip our feet into the crick There's nothing like death to bring you to life So cut me open, cut me open wide

[CH2]

(Cut me open wide)
