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)
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
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
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)
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

[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)

[VS1]: 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
[CH]: 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)
[VS2]: 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
[CH]
[VS3]: 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
[CH x2]
Come see-ah the show [x4]
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?

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)

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)

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