All my friends are heathens, take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please dont make any sudden moves
You dont know the half of the abuse
All my friends are heathens, take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please dont make any sudden moves
You dont know the half of the abuse
Welcome to the room of people
Who have rooms of people that they loved one day
Docked away
Just because we check the guns at the door
Doesnt mean our brains will change from hand grenades
You’ll never know the psychopath sitting next to you
You’ll never know the murderer sitting next to you
Youll think, Howd I get here, sitting next to you?
But after all Ive said, please dont forget
All my friends are heathens, take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please dont make any sudden moves
You dont know the half of the abuse
We dont deal with outsiders very well
They say newcomers have a certain smell
You have trust issues, not to mention
They say they can smell your intentions
Youll never know the freak show sitting next to you
Youll have some weird people sitting next to you
Youll think How did I get here, sitting next to you?
But after all Ive said, please dont forget
All my friends are heathens, take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please dont make any sudden moves
You dont know the half of the abuse
All my friends are heathens, take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please all my friends are heathens, take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Whyd you come? You knew you should have stayed
I tried to warn you just to stay away
And now theyre outside ready to bust
It looks like you might be one of us |
I wish I found some better sounds no ones ever heard
I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words
I wish I found some chords in an order that is new
I wish I didnt have to rhyme every time I sang
I was told, when I get older, all my fears would shrink
But now Im insecure, and I care what people think
My names Blurryface and I care what you think
My names Blurryface and I care what you think
Wish we could turn back time to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep, but now were stressed out
Wish we could turn back time to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep, but now were stressed out
Were stressed out
Sometimes a certain smell will take me back to when I was young
How come Im never able to identify where its comin from?
Id make a candle out of it, if I ever found it
Try to sell it, never sell out of it, Id probably only sell one
Itd be to my brother, cause we have the same nose
Same clothes, homegrown, a stones throw from a creek we used to roam
But it would remind us of when nothing really mattered
Out of student loans and treehouse homes, we all would take the latter
My-my-my names Blurryface and I care what you think
My names Blurryface and I care what you think
Wish we could turn back time to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep, but now were stressed out
Wish we could turn back time to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep, but now were stressed out
We used to play pretend, give each other different names
We would build a rocket ship an then wed fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space, but now theyre laughin at our face
Sayin, Wake up, you need to make money!, yeah
We used to play pretend, give each other different names
We would build a rocket ship an then wed fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space, but now theyre laughin at our face
Sayin, Wake up, you need to make money!, yeah
Wish we could turn back time to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep, but now were stressed out
Wish we could turn back time to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep, but now were stressed out
We used to play pretend, used to play pretend, money
We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money
Used to play pretend, used to play pretend, money
We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money
Used to play pretend, give each other different names
We would build a rocket ship and then wed fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space, but now theyre laughin at our face
Sayin, Wake up, you need to make money!, yeah |
I just wanna stay in the sun where I find
I know its hard sometimes
Pieces of peace in the suns peace of mind
I know its hard sometimes
Yeah, I think about the end just way too much
But its fun to fantasize
On my enemies who wouldnt wish who I was
But its fun to fantasize
Oh-woah-woah, oh-woah-woah, Im fallin
So Im takin my time on my ride, oh-woah-woah, Im fallin
So Im takin my time on my ride
Takin my time on my ride
Id die for you, thats easy to say
We have a list of people that we would take
A bullet for them, a bullet for you
A bullet for everybody in this room
But I dont seem to see many bullets comin through
See many bullets comin through
Metaphorically, Im the man
But literally, I dont know what Id do
Id live for you, an thats hard to do
Even harder to say when you know its not true
Even harder to write when you know that tonight
There were people back home who tried talking to you
But then you ignore them still
All these questions theyre for real
Like who would you live for? Who would you die for?
And would you ever kill?
Oh-woah-woah, oh-woah-woah, Im fallin
So Im takin my time on my ride, oh-woah-woah, Im fallin
So Im takin my time on my ride
Takin my time on my ride

So, where are ya? Its been a little while
Sippin on straight chlorine
Let the vibe slide over me
This beat is a chemical, beat is a chemical
When I leave, dont save my seat
Ill be back when its all complete
The moment is medical, moment is medical
Sippin on straight chlorine
Lovin what Im tastin, woah
Venom on my tongue, dependent at times
Poisonous vibrations, woah
Help my body run
Im runnin for my life
Runnin for my life
Sippin on straight chlorine
Let the vibe slide over me
This beat is a chemical, beat is a chemical
When I leave, dont save my seat
Ill be back when its all complete
The moment is medical, moment is medical
Sippin on straight chlorine
Fall out of formation, woah
I plan my escape from walls they confined
Rebel red carnation, woa-a-oh
Grows while I decay
Im runnin for my life
Runnin for my life
Yeah, Im runnin for my life
Runnin for my life
Hide you in my coat pocket, where I kept my rebel red
I felt I was invincible, you wrapped around my head
Now different lives I lead, my body lives on lead
The last two lines may read incorrect until said
The lead is terrible in flavor
But now you double as a paper maker
I despise you sometimes, I love to hate the fight
And you in my life is like
Sippin on straight chlorine
Let the vibe slide over me
This beat is a chemical, beat is a chemical
When I leave, dont save my seat
Ill be back when its all complete
The moment is medical, moment is medical
Sippin on straight chlorine
Let the vibe, let the vibe
Let the vibe, let the vibe
Beat is a chemical, yeah
Let the vibe, let the vibe

Moment is medical, yeah
Sippin on straight chlorine

Beat is a chemical, yeah
Let the vibe, let the vibe
Let the vibe, let the vibe
Moment is medical, yeah
Im so sorry I forgot you
Let me catch you up to speed
Ive been tested like the ends of
A weathered flag thats by the sea
Can you build my house with pieces?
Im just a chemical
Can you build my house with pieces?
Im just a chemical
Can you build my house with pieces?
Im just a chemical
Can you build my house with pieces?
Im just a chemical |

East is up, Im fearless when I hear this on the low
East is up, Im careless when I wear my rebel clothes
East is up, when Bishops come together they will know that
Dema dont control us, Dema dont control
East is up
They want to make you forget
They want to make you forget
Save your razorblades now, not yet
Save your razorblades now, not yet
Im heavy, my jumpsuit is on steady
Im lighter when Im lower, Im higher when Im heavy, oh
Im so high, my Jumpsuit takes me so high
Im flying from a fire, from Nico and the Niners, oh
East is up, Im fearless when I hear this on the low

Lighter when Im lower, higher when Im heavy, oh
Im so high, Im so high
So high, Im so high
Fire, Nico and the Niners
What I say when I want to be enough
What a beautiful day for making a break for it
Well find a way to pay for it
Maybe from all the money we made razorblade stores
Rent a racehorse and force a sponsor
And start a concert, a complete diversion
Start a mob and you can be quite certain
Well win but not everyone will get out
No, no
Well win but not everyone will get out
No, no
Well win but not everyone will get out
East is up, Im fearless when I hear this on the low

I ponder of something great
My lungs will fill and then deflate
They fill with fire, exhale desire
I know its dire, my time today
I have these thoughts so often, I ought
To replace that slot with what I once bought
Cause somebody stole my car radio
And now I just sit in silence
Sometimes quiet is violent
I find it hard to hide it, my pride is no longer inside
Its on my sleeve, my skin will scream
Reminding me of who I killed inside my dream
I hate this car that Im driving, theres no hiding for me
Im forced to deal with what I feel
There is no distraction to mask what is real
I could pull the steering wheel
I have these thoughts so often, I ought
To replace that slot with what I once bought
Cause somebody stole my car radio
And now I just sit in silence
I ponder of something terrifying
Cause this time theres no sound to hide behind
I find over the course of our human existence
One thing consists of consistence
And its that were all battling fear
Oh dear, I dont know if we know why were here
Oh my, too deep, please stop thinking
I liked it better when my car had sound
There are things we can do
But from the things that work there are only two
And from the two that we choose to do
Peace will win and fear will lose
And theres faith and theres sleep
We need to pick one please because
Faith is to be awake and to be awake is for us to think
And for us to think is to be alive
And I will try with every rhyme
To come across like I am dying
To let you know you need to try to think
I have these thoughts so often, I ought
To replace that slot with what I once bought
Cause somebody stole my car radio
And now I just sit in silence
Woah, oh woah oh
Woah, oh woah oh
Woah, oh woah oh
Woah, oh woah oh
And now I just sit in silence
And now I just sit in silence
And now I just sit
And now I just sit in silence
And now I just sit in silence
And now I just sit in silence
And now I just sit
I ponder of something great
My lungs will fill and then deflate
They fill with fire, exhale desire
I know its dire, my time today
I have these thoughts so often, I ought
To replace that slot with what I once bought
Cause somebody stole my car radio
And now I just sit in silence |
Theres an infestation in my minds imagination
I hope that they choke on smoke
Cause Im smokin them out the basement
This is not rap, this is not hip-hop
Just another attempt to make the voices stop
Rappin to prove nothin, just writin to say somethin
Cause I wasnt the only one who wasnt rushin to sayin nothin
This doesnt mean I lost my dream
Its just right now I got a really crazy mind to clean
Gangsters dont cry, therefore, therefore Im
Mr. Misty-eyed, therefore Im
Can you save, can you save my
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
Can you save, can you save my
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
For me, for me
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
For me, for me
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
Nah, I didnt understand a thing you said
If I didnt know better, Id guess youre all already dead
Mindless zombies walkin around with a limp an a hunch
Sayin stuff like, You only live once
Youve got one time to figure it out
One time to twist and one time to shout
One time to think and I say we start now
Sing it with me if you know what Im talkin about
Gangsters dont cry, therefore, therefore Im
Mr. Misty-eyed, therefore Im
Can you save, can you save my
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
Can you save, can you save my
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
For me, for me
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
For me, for me
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit
Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit
Can you save, can you save my

Can you save, can you save my
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
For me, for me

For me, for me

Sometimes you gotta bleed to know
That youre alive and have a soul
But it takes someone to come around to show you how
Shes the tear in my heart, Im alive
Shes the tear in my heart, Im on fire
Shes the tear in my heart, take me higher
Than Ive ever been
The songs on the radio are okay
But my taste in music is your face
An it takes a song to come around to show you how
Shes the tear in my heart, Im alive

Shes the tear in my heart, take me higher
Than Ive ever been
Than Ive ever been
Than Ive ever been

You fell asleep in my car, I drove the whole time
But thats okay, Ill just avoid the holes so you sleep fine
Im driving here I sit, cursing my government
For not usin my taxes to fill holes with more cement
You fell asleep in my car, I drove the whole time

When everyone you thought you knew

Youre facin down a dark hall
Ill grab my light
And go with you, Ill go with you
Ill go with you, Ill go with you
Ill go with you, Ill go with you
Ill go with you, Ill go with you
Surrounded and up against a wall
Ill shred em all and go with you
When choices end, you must defend

Stay with me, no, you dont need to run
Stay with me, my blood, you dont need to run
Stay with me, no, you dont need to run

If there comes a day
People posted up at the end of your driveway
Theyre callin for your head and theyre callin for your name
Ill bomb down on em, Im comin through
Did they know I was grown with you?
If theyre here to smoke, know Ill go with you
Just keep it outside, keep it outside, yeah

Move!
Cant stop thinking about if and when I die
For now I see that if and when are truly different cries
For if is purely panic and when is solemn sorrow
And one invades today while the other spies tomorrow
Were surrounded and were hounded
Theres no above, or under, or around it
For above is blind belief and under is sword to sleeve
And around is scientific miracle, lets pick above and see
For if and when we go above, the question still remains
Are we still in love and is it possible we feel the same?
And thats when goin under starts to take my wonder
But until that time, Ill try to sing this
If I keep moving, they wont know
Ill morph to someone else
What they throw at mes too slow
Ill morph to someone else
Im just a ghost
Ill morph to someone else
A defense mechanism mode
Hell always try to stop me, that Nicolas Bourbaki
Hes got no friends close but those who know him most know
He goes by Nico, he told me Im a copy
When Id hear him mock me, thats almost stopped me
Well, were surrounded and were hounded
Theres no above or a secret door
What are we here for
If not to run straight through all our tormentors?
But until that time, Ill try to sing this
If I keep moving, they wont know
Ill morph to someone else
What they throw at mes too slow
Ill morph to someone else
Im just a ghost
Ill morph to someone else
A defense mechanism mode
Ill morph to someone else
Lights, they blink to me, transmitting things to me
Ones and zeroes, ergo this symphony
Anybody listening? Ones and zeroes
Count to infinity, ones and zeroes
Im surrounded and Im hounded
Theres no above, or under, or around it
For above is blind belief and under is sword to sleeve
And around is scientific miracle, lets pick above and see
For if and when we go above, the question still remains
Are we still in love and is it possible we feel the same?
And thats when goin under starts to take my wonder
But until that time
Ill morph to someone else
Im just a ghost
If I keep moving, they wont know
Ill morph to someone else
What they throw at mes too slow
Ill morph to someone else
Im just a ghost
Ill morph to someone else
A defense mechanism mode
If I keep moving, they wont know
Ill morph to someone else
A defense mechanism mode
Ill morph to someone else
Not done, not done
Not done, Josh Dun
Ill morph to someone else |
Call
Call
Call
Whats my problem?
Well, I want you to follow me down to the bottom
Underneath the insane asylum
Keep your wits about you while you got em
Cause your wits are first to go while youre problem-solvin
And my problem?
We glorify those even more when they...
My opinion, our culture can treat a loss like its a win
And right before we turn on them
We give em the highest of praise
And hang their banner from the ceiling
Communicating, further engraving
An earlier grave is an optional way, no
Neon gravestones try to call
Neon gravestones try to call for my bones
Call
Call, call, call
Call
Call
Whats my problem?
Dont get it twisted
Its with the people we praise who may have assisted
I could use the streams and extra conversations
I could give up, and boost up my reputation
I could go out with a bang
They would know my name
They would host and post a celebration
My opinion will not be lenient
My opinion, its real convenient
Our words are loud, but now Im talking action
We dont get enough love?
Well, they get a fraction
They say, How could he go if hes got everything?
Ill mourn for a kid, but wont cry for a king
Neon gravestones try to call
Neon gravestones try to call for my bones
Call
Call, call, call
Promise me this
If I lose to myself
You wont mourn a day
And youll move onto someone else
Promise me this
If I lose to myself
You wont mourn a day
And youll move onto someone else
Neon gravestones try to call
Neon gravestones try to call for my bones
Neon gravestones try to call
Neon gravestones try to call for my bones
Cause they wont get them
No, they wont get them
They wont get them
But they wont get them
Dont get me wrong, the rise in awareness
Is beating a stigma that no longer scares us
But for sake of discussion, in spirit of fairness
Could we give this some room for a new point of view?
And could it be true that some could be tempted
To use this mistake as a form of aggression?
A form of succession?
A form of a weapon?
Thinking Ill teach them
Well, Im refusing the lesson
It wont resonate in our minds
Im not disrespecting what was left behind
Just pleading that it does not get glorified
Maybe we swap out what it is that we hold so high
Find your grandparents or someone of age
Pay some respects for the path that they paved
To life, they were dedicated
Now, that should be celebrated |
Im taking over my body, back in control, no more shotty
I bet a lot of me was lost, Ts uncrossed and Is undotted
I fought it a lot and it seems a lot like flesh is all I got
Not any more, flesh out the door, SWAT!
I mustve forgot, you cant trust me
Im open a moment and closed when you show it
Before you know it, Im lost at sea
And now that I write and think about it and the story unfolds
You should take my life, you should take my soul
You are surrounding, all my surroundings
Sounding down the mountain range of my left-side brain
You are surrounding, all my surroundings
Twisting the kaleidoscope behind both of my eyes
And Ill be holding on to you
And Ill be holding on to you
Remember the moment you know exactly where youre goin
Cause the next moment before you know it
Time is slowin and its frozen still
And the windowsill looks really nice, right?
You think twice about your life, it probably happens at night, right?
Fight it, take the pain, ignite it
Tie a noose around your mind, loose enough to breathe fine
And tie it to a tree tell it, You belong to me
This aint a noose, this is a leash
And I have news for you, you must obey me!
You are surrounding, all my surroundings
Sounding down the mountain range of my left-side brain
You are surrounding, all my surroundings
Twisting the kaleidoscope behind both of my eyes
Entertain my faith, entertain my faith
Entertain my faith, entertain my faith
Entertain my faith, entertain my faith
Entertain my faith, entertain my faith
Entertain my faith, entertain my faith
Lean with it, rock with it, when we gonna stop with it?
Lyrics that mean nothin, we were gifted with thought
Is it time to move our feet, to an introspective beat?
It aint the speakers that bump hearts, its our hearts that make the beat
Lean with it, rock with it, when we gonna stop with it?
Lyrics that mean nothin, we were gifted with thought
Is it time to move our feet, to an introspective beat?
It aint the speakers that bump hearts, its our hearts that make the beat
Lean with it, rock with it, when we gonna stop with it?
Lyrics that mean nothin, we were gifted with thought
Is it time to move our feet, to an introspective beat?
It aint the speakers that bump hard, its our hearts that make the beat
Lean with it, rock with it, when we gonna stop with it?
Lyrics that mean nothin, we were gifted with thought
Is it time to move our feet, to an introspective beat?
It aint the speakers that bump hearts, and its our hearts that make the beat
And Ill be holding on to you, and Ill be holding on to you
And Ill be holding on to you, and Ill be holding on to you
And Ill be holding on to you, and Ill be holding on to you
And Ill be holding on to you, and Ill be holding on to you |
Oh, I know how to levitate up off my feet
And ever since the seventh grade I learned to fire-breathe
And though I feed on things that fell
You can learn to levitate with just a little help
Learn to levitate with just a little help
Come down, come down
Cowards only come through when the hours late
And everyones asleep, mind you
Now show up, show up
I know I shouldnt say this
But a curse from you is all that I would need right now, man
Come down, come down
Cowards only come through when the hours late
And everyones asleep, mind you
Now show up, show up
I know I shouldnt say this
But a curse from you is all that I would need right now, man
Danger in the fabric of this thing I made
I probably shouldnt show you, but its way too late
My heart is with you hiding, but my minds not made
Now they know it like we both knew for some time Id say
Theyre smirking at fresh blood, theyre circling above
But this is not enough, yeah, this is not what you thought
No, no, we are not just graffiti on a passing train
I got back what I once bought back
In that slot, I wont need to replace
This culture is a poacher of overexposure, not today
Dont feed me to the vultures, I am a vulture who feeds on pain
Sleep in a well-lit room, dont let the shadow through
And sever all I knew, yeah, sever all
I thought I could depend on my weekends
On the freezing ground that Im sleeping on
Please, keep me from, please keep me down from the ledges
Better test it, wooden wedges under doorways
Keep your wooden wedges under doors
Chorus, verse, chorus, verse, now here comes the eight
Wait, habits here too, you’re the worst, your structure compensates
But compensation feels a lot like rising up to dominate by track two
At least they all know all they hear comes from a place
Oh, I know how to levitate up off my feet
And ever since the seventh grade I learned to fire-breathe
And though I feed on things that fell
You can learn to levitate with just a little help
You can levitate with just a little help
Welcome to Trench |
Nobody thinks what I think, nobody dreams when they blink
Think things on the brink of blasphemy, Im my own shrink
Think things are after me, Im my catastrophe
At my kitchen sink
You dont know what that means
Because a kitchen sink to you is not a kitchen sink to me
Okay, friend?
Are you searching for purpose?
Then write something, yeah, it might be worthless
Then paint something, and it might be wordless
Pointless curses, nonsense verses
Youll see purpose start to surface
No one else is dealing with your demons
Meaning maybe defeating them could be the beginning of your meaning, friend
Go away, go away
Go away, go away
Leave me alone, leave me alone
Leave me alone, leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Nobody thinks what you think, no one
Empathy might be on the brink of extinction
They will play a game and say they know what youre going through
And I tried to come up with an artistic way to say they dont know you
And neither do I, so heres a prime example of a stand-up guy who
Hates what he believes and loves it at the same time
Heres my brother, and his heads screwed up, but thats all right
Time gains momentum the moment when Im living in em
Im winning a momentary, sinning a moment passing after
A re-beginning moments mending memories
Pretending enemies are friends of me, sending me straight to bending me
My bad behavior but I bet I could have been a better man
Copy and paste caught me, and copy, better rhymes bother me
The better the rhythm, the badder I am but I bet Ill battle with em battle
Better I am, gambling man, better bet I am a gambling man, I am?
Go away, go away
Go away, go away
Leave me alone, leave me alone
Leave me alone, leave me alone
Leave me alone
Dont leave me alone
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh |
Am I the only one I know
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
Shadows will scream that Im alone-lone-lone...
I-I-I-Ive got a migraine
And my pain will range from up, down, and sideways
Thank God its Friday cause Fridays will always be better than Sundays
Cause Sundays are my suicide days
I dont know why they always seem so dismal
Thunderstorms, clouds, snow, and a slight drizzle
Whether its the weather or the letters by my bed
Sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head
Let it be said what the headache represents
Its me defending in suspense, its me suspended in a defenseless test
Being tested by a ruthless examinant
Thats represented best by my depress...ing thoughts
I do not have writers block, my writer just hates the clock
It will not let me sleep, I guess Ill sleep when Im dead
And sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head
Am I the only one I know
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
Shadows will scream that Im alone
But I know, weve made it this far... kid
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I am not as fine as I seem, pardon
Me for yelling, Im telling you green gardens
Are not whats growing in my psyche, its a different me
A difficult beast feasting on burnt down trees
Freeze frame, please let me paint a mental picture portrait
Something you wont forget, its all about my forehead
And how it is a door that holds back contents
That makes Pandoras box contents look non-violent
Behind my eyelids are islands of violence
My mind ship-wrecked, this is the only land my mind could find
I did not know it was such a violent island
Full of tidal waves, suicidal crazed lions
Theyre trying to eat me, blood running down their chin
And I know that I can fight, or I can let the lion win
I begin to assemble what weapons I can find
Cause sometimes to stay alive, you gotta kill your mind
Am I the only one I know
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
Shadows will scream that Im alone
But I know, weve made it this far... kid
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And I will say that we should take a day to break away
From all the pain our brain has made, the game is not played alone
And I will say that we should take a moment and hold it
And keep it frozen and know that life has a hopeful undertone
And I will say that we should take a day to break away
From all the pain our brain has made, the game is not played alone
And I will say that we should take a moment and hold it
And keep it frozen and know that life has a hopeful undertone
Am I the only one I know, oh
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
Shadows will scream that Im alone
But I know, weve made it this far... kid
Made it this far
Made it this f— |
No, no, no, no, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
A loser hides behind
A mask of my disguise
And who I am today
Is worse than other times
You dont know what Ive done
Im wanted and on the run
Im wanted and on the run
So Im takin this moment to live in the future
Release me from the present, Im obsessin, all these questions
Why Im in denial that they tried the suicidal session
Please use discretion when youre messin with the message, man
These lyrics arent for everyone, only few understand
No, no, no, no, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You dont know my brain
The way you know my name
You dont know my heart
The way you know my face
You dont know what Ive done
Im wanted and on the run
Im wanted and on the run
So Im takin this moment to live in the future
Release me from the present, Im obsessin, all these questions
Why Im in denial that they tried the suicidal session
Please use discretion when youre messin with the message, man
These lyrics arent for everyone, only few understand
My people singin
My people singin
Hope youre dead cause how could you sleep at a time like this?
People, they rhyme like this, were all impressed by this
They rip it, flip it, but these are just triplets
Wrote this in three minutes, three words to a line
Its just poetry divided, Im the kind of guy
Who takes every moment he knows he confided in
Music to use it for others to use it
Youre dead cause how could you sleep at a time like this?
Life is up here but you comment below
And the comments will always become common
Motivation to promote your shows next episode
So your brain knows to keep going even though hope
Is far from this moment
But you and I know it gets better when morning finally rears its head
Together were losers, remember the future
Remember the morning is when night is dead
Release me from the present, Im obsessin, all these questions
Why Im in denial that they tried the suicidal session
Please use discretion when youre messin with the message, man
These lyrics arent for everyone, only few understand

Cover me, oh!
I cant believe how much I hate
Pressures of a new place roll my way
Jumpsuit, jumpsuit, cover me
Jumpsuit, jumpsuit, cover me
I crumble underneath the weight
Pressures of a new place roll my way
Jumpsuit, jumpsuit, cover me
Jumpsuit, jumpsuit, cover me
Spirits in my room, friend or foe?
Felt it in my youth, feel it when Im old
Jumpsuit, jumpsuit, cover me
Dusting off my jumpsuit
I cant believe how much I hate
Pressures of a new place roll my way
Jumpsuit, jumpsuit, cover me
Jumpsuit, jumpsuit, cover me
Ill be right there
But youll have to grab my throat and lift me in the air
If you need anyone
Ill stop my plans
But youll have to tie me down and then break both my hands
If you need anyone
Ill be right there
But youll have to grab my throat and lift me in the air
If you need anyone
If you need anyone
If you need anyone
I cant believe how much I hate
Pressures of a new place roll my way

Need you, tell me
Need you, tell me
Panic on the brain, world has gone insane
Things are starting to get heavy, mm
I cant help but think I havent felt this way
Since I asked you to go steady
Wonderin would you be my little quarantine?
Or is this the way it ends?
Cause I told you my level of concern
But you walked by like you never heard
And you could bring down my level of concern
Just need you to tell me were alright, tell me were okay
Panic on the brain, Michaels gone insane
Julie starts to make me nervous
I dont really care what they would say
Im asking you to stay
In my bunker underneath the surface
Wonderin would you be
My little quarantine?
Or is this the way it ends?
Cause I told you my level of concern
But you walked by like you never heard
And you could bring down my level of concern
Just need you to tell me were alright, tell me were okay, yeah
Tell me were alright, tell me were okay, yeah
Tell me were alright, tell me were okay
Bring down my level of concern

In a world where you could just lie to me
And Id be okay, well be okay
Were gonna be okay
Tell me were okay, I need you

They say, Stay in your lane, boy, lane, boy
But we go where we want to
They think this thing is a highway, highway
But will they be alive tomorrow?
They think this thing is a highway
If it was our way, wed have a tempo change every other time change
Cause our minds changed on what we think is good
I wasnt raised in the hood
But I know a thing or two about pain an darkness
If it wasnt for this music I dont know how I would have fought this
Regardless, all these songs Im hearin are so heartless
Dont trust a perfect person an dont trust a song thats flawless, honest
Theres a few songs on this record that feel common
Im in constant confrontation with what I want an what is poppin
In the industry, it seems to me that singles on the radio are currency
My creativitys only free when Im playin shows
They say, Stay in your lane, boy, lane, boy
But we go where we want to
They think this thing is a highway, highway
But will they be alive tomorrow?
Im sorry if that question I asked last
Scared you a bit like a Hazmat, in a gas mask if you ask Zack
Hes my brother, he likes when I rap fast
But lets backtrack, back to this
Who would you live and die for on that list?
But the problem is, theres another list that exists and no one really wants to think about this
Forget sanity, forget salary, forget vanity, my morality
If you get in between someone I love an me
Youre gonna feel the heat of my cavalry
All these songs Im hearin are so heartless
Dont trust a perfect person an dont trust a song thats flawless
They say, Stay in your lane, boy, lane, boy
But we go where we want to
They think this thing is a highway, highway
But will they be alive tomorrow?
They say, Stay in your lane, boy, lane, boy
But we go where we want to

But we go where we want to

Yeah, yeah, yeah!
We dont believe whats on TV
Because its what we want to see
An what we want we know we cant believe
We have all learned to kill our dreams
I need to know
That when I fail youll still be here, mmm
Cause if you stick around, Ill sing you pretty sounds
An well make money selling your hair
I dont care whats in your hair
I just wanna know whats on your mind
I used to say, I wanna die before Im old
But because of you, I might think twice
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Alright, second verse
What if my dream does not happen?
Would I just change what Ive told my friends?
I dont want to know who I would be
When I wake up from a dreamers sleep
I need to know
That when I fail youll still be here, oh
Cause if you stick around, Ill sing you pretty sounds
An well make money selling your hair
But I dont care whats in your hair
I just wanna know whats on your mind

I wake up fine and dandy, but then by the time I find it handy
To rip my heart apart and start planning my crash landing
I go up, up, up, up, up to the ceiling
Then I feel my soul start leaving like an old mans hair receding
Im pleading, Please, oh please! on my knees repeatedly asking
Why its got to be like this, is this living free?
I dont wanna be the one
Be the one who has the suns blood on my hands, Ill tell the moon
Take this weapon forged in darkness
Some see a pen, I see a harpoon
Ill stay awake cause the darks not taking prisoners tonight
Why am I not scared in the morning?
I dont hear those voices calling
I must have kicked them out, I must have kicked them out
I swear I heard demons yelling
Those crazy words they were spelling
They told me I was gone, they told me I was gone
But Ill tell em, Why wont you let me go?
Do I threaten all your plans? Im insignificant
Please tell em, you have no plans for me
I will set my soul on fire, what have I become?
Ill tell em
On the eve of a day thats forgotten and fake
As the trees, they await, and clouds anticipate
The start of a day when we put on our face
A mask that portrays that we dont need grace
On the eve of a day that is bigger than us
But we open our eyes cause were told that we must
And the trees wave their arms and the clouds try to plead
Desperately yelling, Theres something we need!
Im not free, I asked forgiveness three times
Same amount that I denied, I three-time MVPd this crime
Im afraid to tell you who I adore
Wont tell you who Im singing towards
Metaphorically, Im a whore, and thats denial number four
Ill stay awake cause the darks not taking prisoners tonight
Why am I not scared in the morning?
I dont hear those voices calling
I must have kicked them out, I must have kicked them out
I swear I heard demons yelling
Those crazy words they were spelling
They told me I was gone, they told me I was gone
But Ill tell em, Why wont you let me go?
Do I threaten all your plans? Im insignificant
Please tell em, you have no plans for me
I will set my soul on fire, what have I become?
Ill tell em, you have no plans for me, I will set my soul on fire
What have I become? Ill tell em, Ill tell em, Ill tell em
Ill tell em, please tell em, you have no plans for me
I will set my soul on fire, what have I become? Im sorry |

When the leader of the bad guys sang
Something soft and soaked in pain
I heard the echo from his secret hideaway
He mustve forgot to close his door
As he cranked out those dismal chords
And his four walls declared him insane
I found my way
Right time, wrong place
As I pled my case
Youre the judge, oh no
Set me free
Youre the judge, oh no
Set me free
I know my souls freezing
Hells hot for good reason
So please, take me
Nah-nah-nah-nah, ooh-oh
Nah-nah-nah-nah, ooh-oh
Nah-nah-nah-nah, ooh-oh
Three lights are lit, but the fourth ones out
I can tell cause its a bit darker than the last nights bout
I forgot about the drought of light bulbs in this house
So I head out down a route I think is heading south
But Im not good with directions and I hide behind my mouth
Im a pro at imperfections and Im best friends with my doubt
And now that my minds out and now I hear it clear and loud
Im thinking Wow, I probably shouldve stayed inside my house.
I found my way
Right time, wrong place
As I pled my case
Youre the judge, oh no
Set me free
Youre the judge, oh no
Set me free
I know my souls freezing
Hells hot for good reason
So please
I dont know if this song
Is a surrender or a revel
I dont know if this one
Is about me or the devil
I dont know if this song
Is a surrender or a revel
I dont know if this one
Is about me or the devil
Ooooh
Oh! Yeah

Youre the judge, oh no
Set me free, oh no

Help me polarize, help me polarize, help me out
My friends and I, we got a lot of problems
You know where Im coming from
Though I am running to you

Those stairs is where Ill be hidin all my problems
Help me polarize, help me polarize, help me out

Separating em, splitting em up from wrong and right
Its deciding where to die and deciding where to fight
Deny, deny, denial

Wanted to be a better adversary to the evil I have done

I am on an island, no one to confide
Eight days straight, eight hours each and not one line
I can feel pressure start to possess my mind
So, Ill take this beat I should delete to exercise
No, I move slow
I want to stop time
Ill sit here til I find the problem
No, I move slow
I want to stop time
Ill sit here til I find the problem
Ive got a pet cheetah down in my basement
Ive raised him, and bathed him, and named him Jason
Statham, Ive trained him to make me these beats
Now my pet cheetahs quicker in the studio than on his feet
Ima get mine and get going
Im showing my faces in just enough places
Im done with tip-toeing, Ill stay in my room
My house is the one where the vultures are perched on the roof
Get behind me, I bet this nepotistic mindset
Will help us get ours as were growing
This clique means so much to this dude
It could make him afraid of his music
And be scared to death he could lose it
No, I move slow
I want to stop time
Ill sit here til I find the problem
No, I move slow
I want to stop time
Ill sit here til I find the problem
Ill sit here til I
Ill sit here til I find the problem, no
Ill sit here til I

No, I move slow
I want to stop time
Ill sit here til I find the problem
No, I move slow

I could take the high road
But I know that Im goin low
Im a ban—Im a bandito
I could take the high road
But I know that Im goin low
Im a ban—Im a bandito
I could take the high road
But I know that Im goin low
Im a ban—Im a bandito
This is the sound we make
When in between two places
Where we used to bleed
And where our blood needs to be
I could take the high road
But I know that Im goin low
Im a ban—Im a bandito
I could take the high road
But I know that Im goin low
Im a ban—Im a bandito
In City, I feel my spirit is contained
Like neon inside the glass, they form my brain
But I recently discovered its a heatless fire
Like nicknames they give themselves to uninspire
Begin with bullet, now add fire to the proof
But Im still not sure if fears a rival or close relative to truth
Either way it helps to hear these words bounce off of you
The softest echo could be enough for me to make it through
Folina, Sahlo Folina
Sahlo Folina, Sahlo Folina
I created this world to feel some control
Destroy it if I want
So I sing Sahlo Folina, Sahlo Folina, Sahlo
I could take the high road
But I know that Im goin low
Im a ban—Im a bandito
I could take the high road
But I know that Im goin low
Im a ban—Im a bandito
I could take the high road
But I know that Im goin low
Im a ban—Im a bandito
I created this world to feel some control
Destroy it if I want
So I sing Sahlo Folina, Sahlo Folina |
You know
Ive always been collected, calm and chill
And you know
I never look for conflict for the thrill
But if I’m feeling
Someone stepping towards you, cant describe
Just what Im feeling
For you, I’d go
Step to a dude much bigger than me
For you, I know
I would get messed up, weigh 153
For you
I would get beat to smithereens
You know
Ill be in the corner taking notes
And you know
I got your six while youre working votes
But if Im feeling
Someone stepping towards you, cant describe
Just what Im feeling
For you, Id go
Step to a dude much bigger than me
For you, I know
I would get messed up, weigh 153
For you
I would get beat to smithereens
You know I had to do one
You know I had to do one
You know I had to do one on the record
You know I had to do one on the record for her like this
You know I had to do one on the record for her like this
You know I had to do one on the record for her like this
You know I had to do one on the record for her
If Im feeling
Someone stepping towards you, can’t describe
Just what I’m feeling
For you, Id go
Write a slick song just to show you the world
For you, I know
They think it’s messed up to sell out for your girl
For you, Id go
Step to a dude much bigger than me
For you, I know
I would get messed up, weigh 153
For you
I would get beat to smithereens |
I know what you think in the morning
When the sun shines on the ground
And shows what you have done
It shows where your mind has gone
And you swear to your parents
That it will never happen again
I know, I know-ow-ow
What that means, I know-ow-ow-ow-ow
That you all have guns
And you never put the safety on
And you all have plans
To take it, to take it, dont take it, take it, take it
Im trying, Im trying to sleep
Im trying, Im trying to sleep
But I cant, but I cant when you all have
Guns for hands, yeah
Im trying, Im trying to sleep
Im trying, Im trying to sleep
But I cant, but I cant when you all have
Guns for hands, yeah
Lets take this a second at a time
Lets take this one song, this one rhyme
Together, lets breathe
Together, to the beat
But theres hope out the window
So thats where well go
Lets go outside and all join hands
But until then youll never understand
That you all have guns
And you never put the safety on
And you all have plans
To take it, to take it, dont take it, take it, take it
Im trying, Im trying to sleep
Im trying, Im trying to sleep
But I cant, but I cant when you all have
Guns for hands, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoo!
Weve turned our hands to guns
Traded our thumbs for ammunition
I must forewarn you of my disorder, or my condition
Cause when the sun sets
It upsets whats left of my invested interest
Interested in putting my fingers to my head
The solution is, I see a whole room of these mutant kids
Fused at the wrist, I simply tell them they should shoot at this
Simply suggest my chest and this confused music
Its obviously best for them to turn their guns to a fist
Im trying, Im trying to sleep
Im trying, Im trying to sleep
But I cant, but I cant when you all have
Guns for hands, yeah
Im trying, Im trying to sleep
Im trying, Im trying to sleep
But I cant, but I cant when you all have
Guns for hands, yeah |
Uh, Im fairly local, Ive been around
Ive seen the streets youre walkin down
Im fairly local, good people now
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Im evil to the core, what I shouldnt do I will
They say Im emotional, what I want to save Ill kill
Is that who I truly am? I truly dont have a chance
Tomorrow Ill keep a beat and repeat yesterdays dance
Yo, this song will never be on the radio
Even if my clique were to pick and the people were to vote
Its the few, the proud, and the emotional
Yo, you, bulletproof in black like a funeral
The world around us is burnin but were so cold
Its the few, the proud, and the emotional
Uh, Im fairly local, Ive been around
Ive seen the streets youre walkin down
Im fairly local, good people now
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Im not evil to the core, what I shouldnt do I will fight
I know Im emotional, what I wanna save I will try
I know who I truly am, I truly do have a chance
Tomorrow Ill switch the beat to avoid yesterdays dance
Yo, this song will never be on the radio
Even if my clique were to pick and the people were to vote
Its the few, the proud, and the emotional
Yo, you, bulletproof in black like a funeral
The world around us is burnin but were so cold

Scared of my own image, scared of my own immaturity
Scared of my own ceiling, scared Ill die of uncertainty
Fear might be the death of me, fear leads to anxiety
Don’t know what’s inside of me
Dont forget abou-bou-bou-bou-bout me
Dont forget abou-bou-bou-bou-bout me
Even when I doubt you
Im no good without you, no, no
Temperature is dropping, temperature is dropping
Im not sure if I can see this ever stopping
Shaking hands with the dark parts of my thoughts, no
You are all that I’ve got, no
Dont forget abou-bou-bou-bou-bout me
Dont forget abou-bou-bou-bou-bout me
Even when I doubt you
Im no good without you, no, no, no, no, no
Gnawing on the bishops, claw our way up their system
Repeating simple phrases, someone holy insisted
Want the markings made on my skin
To mean something to me again
Hope you havent left without me
Hope you havent left without me, please
Dont forget abou-bou-bou-bou-bout me
Dont forget abou-bou-bou-bou-bout me
Even when I doubt you
Im no good without you, no

Sometimes I feel cold, even paralyzed
My interior world needs to sanitize
Ive got to step through or I’ll dissipate
Ill record my step through for my basement tapes
Nice to know my kind will be on my side
I dont believe the hype
And you know you’re a terrible sight
But youll be just fine
Just dont believe the hype
Yeah, they might be talking behind your head
Your exterior world can step off instead
It might take some friends and a warmer shirt
But you dont get thick skin without getting burnt
Nice to know my kind will be on my side
I dont believe the hype
And you know youre a terrible sight
But youll be just fine
Just dont believe the hype
(We’re gonna rely pretty heavily

My shadow tilts its head at me
Spirits in the dark are waiting
I will let the wind go quietly
I will let the wind go quietly
Be the one, be the one to take my soul and make it undone
Be the one, be the one to take me home and show me the sun
I know, I know you can bring the fire, I can bring the bones
I know, I know youll make the fire, my bones will make it grow
Where were from, theres no sun, our hometowns in the dark
Where were from, were no one, our hometowns in the dark
Our hometowns in the dark
My shadow tilts its head at me
Spirits in the dark are waiting
I will let the wind go quietly
I will let the wind go quietly
Put away, put away all the gods your father served today
Put away, put away your traditions, believe me when I say
We dont know, we dont know how to put back the power in our soul
We dont know, we dont know where to find what once was in our bones
Where were from, theres no sun, our hometowns in the dark
Where were from, were no one, our hometowns in the dark
Our hometowns in the dark
My shadow tilts its head at me
Spirits in the dark are waiting
I will let the wind go quietly
I will let the wind go quietly
Where were from, theres no sun, our hometowns in the dark
Where were from, were no one, our hometowns in the dark |
She asked me, Son, when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me?
She asked me, Son, when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me?
I will make you queen of everything you see
Ill put you on the map, Ill cure you of disease
Lets say we up and left this town
And turned our future upside down
Well make pretend that you and me
Lived ever after happily
She asked me, Son, when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me?
I will make you queen of everything you see
Ill put you on the map, Ill cure you of disease
And since we know that dreams are dead
And life turns plans up on their head
I will plan to be a bum
So I just might become someone
She asked me, Son, when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me?
I will make you queen of everything you see
Ill put you on the map, Ill cure you of disease |
I dont know why I just feel Im better off
Stayin in the same room I was born in
I look outside and see a whole world better off
Without me in it tryin to transform it
You are out of my mind, oh
You arent seein my side, oh
You waste all this time tryin to get to me
But you are out of my mind, yeah
Listen, I know
This ones a contradiction because of how happy it sounds
But the lyrics are so down

Because it represents, wait, better yet it is
Who I feel I am right now
You are out of my mind, oh
You arent seein my side, oh
You waste all this time tryin to get to me
But you are out of my mind
Heard you say, Not today
Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a sound

Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a noise
Oh, dont you test me, no
Just because I play the piano
Doesnt mean I, Im not willin to take you down
Im sorry
Im, Im out of my mind, oh

I waste all this time tryin to run from you
But Im, Im out of my mind

Turn away if you could get me a drink
Of water cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my aunt Marie, help her gather all my things
And bury me in all my favorite colors
My sisters and my brothers, still, I will not kiss you
Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
I will not kiss you
Lips are chapped and faded, call my
Lips are chapped and faded
Kiss you
Lips are chapped and faded, call my
Lips are chapped and faded
Turn away cause Im awful just to see
And all my hairs abandoned all my body
All my agony know that I will never marry
Baby, Im just soggy from the chemo
Im counting down the days to go, this just aint livin
And I just hope you know
I will not kiss you
Lips are chapped and faded, call my
Lips are chapped and faded
Kiss you
Lips are chapped and faded, call my
Lips are chapped and faded
If you say
Goodbye today
Ill ask you to be true
Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
Yes, the hardest part of this...
I will not kiss you
Lips are chapped and faded
Call my
Lips are chapped and faded
Kiss you
Lips are chapped and faded
Call my
Lips are chapped and faded |
Im tired of tending to this fire
Ive used up all Ive collected
I have singed my hands
Its glowing, embers barely showing
Proof of life in the shadows
Dancing on my plans
They know that its almost
They know that its almost over
They know that its almost
They know that its almost over
The burning is so low its concerning
Cause they know that when it goes out
Its a glorious gone
Its only time before they show me
Why no one ever comes back
With details from beyond
They know that its almost
They know that its almost over
They know that its almost
They know that its almost over
They know that its almost over
They know that its almost over
In time, I will leave the city
For now, I will stay alive
In time, I will leave the city
For now, I will stay alive
In time, I will leave the city
For now, I will stay alive
In time, I will leave the city
For now, I will stay alive
They know that its almost
They know that its almost over
They know that its almost
They know that its almost over
Last year I needed change of pace
Couldnt take the pace of change
Moving hastily
But this year, though Im far from home
In Trench Im not alone
These faces facin me
They know
They know
What I mean |
Ill keep on tryin’, might as well
If you decide all is well
Ill keep on tryin, might as well
If you decide all is well
Though I am bruised, face of contusions
Know I’ll keep movin
Though I am bruised, face of contusions
Know Ill keep movin, know Ill keep movin
Rust around the rim, drink it anyway
I cut my lip
Isnt what I want, blood is on my tongue
I cut my lip
I keep on goin back
Even though it’s me I abuse
I’ll keep on goin back
Even...
Though I am bruised, face of contusions
Know I’ll keep movin
Though I am bruised, face of contusions
Know Ill keep movin, know I’ll keep movin
Rust around the rim, drink it anyway
I cut my lip
Isnt what I want, blood is on my tongue
I cut my lip, oh oh, yeah
I cut my lip, oh oh, yeah
I dont mind at all, lean on my pride
Lean on my pride, Im a lion

When I get home
You better not be there
Were placin bets you wont
Shed your modesty
And the only thing to leave behind
Is your own skin on the floor
Dont you shy away
Manifest a ceiling
When you shy away
Searchin for that feelin
Just like an I love you
That isnt words
Like a song he wrote thats never heard
Dont you sh…
When you get home
You barely recognize the pictures
They put in a frame
Cause you shed your modеsty
Dont circle the track
Take what you havе
And leave your skin on the floor
Dont you shy away
Manifest a ceiling
When you shy away
Searchin for that feelin
Just like an I love you
That isnt words
Like a song he wrote
Thats never heard
When I get home
Boy, you better not be there
Youre long gone
Shed your modesty
Dont circle the track
Just break the cycle in half
And leave your skin on the floor
Dont you shy away
Manifest a ceiling
When you shy away
Searchin for that feelin
Just like an I love you
That isnt words
Like a song he wrote
Thats never heard
Thats never heard
An I love you
That isnt words
Like a song he wrote
Thats never heard
Dont you shy away |
Hello, we havent talked in quite some time
I know I havent been the best of sons
Hello, Ive been traveling in the deserts of my mind
And I havent found a drop of life
I havent found a drop of you
I havent found a drop
I havent found a drop of water
Water, oh, oh
I try desperately to run through the sand
As I hold the water in the palm of my hand
Cause its all that I have and its all that I need
And the waves of the water mean nothing to me
But I try my best and all that I can to
Hold tightly onto whats left in my hand
But no matter how, how tightly I will strain
The sand will slow me down and the water will drain
Im just being dramatic, in fact, Im only at it again
As an addict with a pen whos addicted to the wind
As it blows me back and forth, bindless, spineless, and pretend
Of course Ill be here again, see you tomorrow, but its the end of today
End of my ways as a walking denial
My trial was filed as a crazy, suicidal head-case
But you specialize in dying, you hear me screaming, Father!
And Im lying here just crying, so wash me with your water
Water, oh, oh
Hello, I havent talked in quite some time
I know I havent been the best of sons
Hello, Ive been traveling in the deserts of my mind
And I, I havent found a drop of life
I havent found a drop of you
I havent found a drop
I havent found a drop of water |
Im a goner, somebody catch my breath
Im a goner, somebody catch my breath
I wanna be known by you
I wanna be known by you
Im a goner, somebody catch my breath
Im a goner, somebody catch my breath
I wanna be known by you
I wanna be known by you
Though Im weak and beaten down
Ill slip away into the sound
The ghost of you is close to me
Im inside out, youre underneath
Ive got two faces, Blurrys the one Im not
Ive got two faces, Blurrys the one Im not
I need your help to take him out
I need your help to take him out
Though Im weak and beaten down
Ill slip away into this sound
The ghost of you is close to me
Im inside out, youre underneath
Though Im weak and beaten down
Ill slip away into this sound
The ghost of you is close to me
Im inside out, youre underneath
Dont let me be gone
Dont let me be gone
Dont let me be gone
Dont let me be gone
Dont let me be!
Dont let me be!
Oh, yeah!
Im a goner, somebody catch my breath
Im a goner, somebody catch my breath
I wanna be known by you
I wanna be known by you |
You were one of those classic ones
Traveling around this sun
You were one of those classic ones
I wish she knew you
You were one of those classic ones
Now everybody knows
You were one of those classic ones, yeah
Alright
Youre a legend in my own mind
My middle name, my goodbye
You were here when I wrote this
But the masters and mixes
Will take too long to finish to show you
Im sorry I did not visit
Did not know how to take it
When your eyes did not know me
Like I know you
You were one of those classic ones
Travelin around this sun
You were one of those classic ones
I wish she knew you
You were one of those classic ones
Now everybody knows
You were one of those classic ones, yeah
Alright
Youre a legend in my own mind
My middle name, my goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, oh
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Alright
Youre a legend in my own mind
My middle name, my goodbye
Then the day that it happened, I recorded this last bit
I look forward to having a lunch with you again |
I wanna fall inside your ghost
And fill up every hole inside my mind
And I want everyone to know
That I am half a soul divided
Sometimes, we will die
And sometimes, we will fly away
Either way, youre by my side
Until my dying days
And if Im not there and Im far away
I said, Dont be afraid
I said, Dont be afraid
Were going home
I wanna strip myself of breath
A breathless piece of death Ive made for you
A mortal rotting piece of song
Will help me carry on, but at least you heard
Oh, sometimes, we will die
And sometimes, we will fly away
Either way, youre by my side
Until my dying days
And if Im not there and Im far away
I said, Dont be afraid
I said, Dont be afraid
Were going home
So the hearse ran out of gas, a passenger person grabbed a map
And the driver inside it contrived a new route to save the past
And checked his watch and grabbed a cab, a beautifully plain taxi cab
A cab, had a cleared out back and two men started to unpack
Driving once again, but now this time, there were three men
And then I heard one of them say I know the night will turn to gray
I know the stars will start to fade when all the darkness fades away
We had to steal him from his fate so he could see another day.
And then I cracked open my box, someone must have picked the lock
A little light revealed the spot where my fingernails had fought
Then I pushed it open more, pushing up against the door
Then I sat up off the floor, and found the breath I was searching for
Then there were three men up front, all I saw were backs of heads
And then I asked Am I alive and well, or am I dreaming dead?
Then one turned around to say Were driving toward the morning sun
Where all your blood is washed away and all you did will be undone.
I said, Dont be afraid
I said, Dont be afraid
Oh, oh |
La da da da
La da da da da
La da da da, la da daa, la
La da da da
La da da da da da da
La da da da, la da daa, la-a-a-a-a-a,-a-a
Now is the climax to the story
That gives the demons and angels purpose
They fly around while we are walking
And mold our emotions just to please them
I am cold, can you hear?
I will fly with no hope, no fear
And the ground taunts my wings
Plummet as I sing, plummet as I sing
All we are is an isle of flightless birds, we find our worth in giving birth and stuff
Were lining our homes against winding roads and we think the going is tough
We pick songs to sing, remind us of things that nobody cares about
And honestly, were probably more suicidal than ever now
If you decide to live by what you thinks wrong and whats right
Believe me, youll begin to wish you were sleeping
Your weeping will creep in your head and youll cry
But if we wake up every morning and decide what we believe
We can take apart our very heart and the light will set us free
I am cold, can you hear?
I will fly with no hope, no fear
And the ground taunts my wings
Plummet as I sing, plummet as I
I am cold, can you hear?
I will fly with no hope, no fear
And the ground taunts my wings
Plummet as I sing, plummet as I
How frustrating and so degrading
His time, were wasting as time will fly by
And the sky will cry as light is fading
And He is waiting, oh, so patiently
While we repeat the same routine as we will please comfortability
And please think about why you cant sleep in the evening
And please dont be afraid of what your soul is really thinking
Your soul knows good and evil, your soul knows both sides
And its time you pick your battle, and I promise you, this is mine
I promise you, this is mine |
Now the night is coming to an end, ooh
The sun will rise and we will try again, ooh
Stay alive, stay alive for me
You will die, but now your life is free
Take pride in what is sure to die
I will fear the night again, ooh
I hope Im not my only friend, ooh
Stay alive, stay alive for me
You will die, but now your life is free
Take pride in what is sure to die |
Your grandpa died when you were nine
They said he had lost his mind
You have learned way too soon
You should never trust the Pantaloon
Now its your turn to be alone
Find a wife and build yourself a home
You have learned way too soon
That your dad is now the Pantaloon
You are tired, you are hurt
A moth ate through your favorite shirt
And all your friends fertilize the ground you walk
Lose your mind
Hes seen too many stare downs
Between the sun and the moon
In the morning air
How he used to hustle all the people
Walking through the fairgrounds
Hes been around so long
Hes changed his meaning of a chair now
Because a chair now
Is like a tiny island in the sea of all the people
Who glide across the very surface
That made his bones feeble
The end cant come soon enough
But is it too soon?
Either way he cant deny
He is a Pantaloon
You are tired, you are hurt
A moth ate through your favorite shirt
And all your friends fertilize the ground you walk
Lose your mind
You like to sleep alone
Its colder than you know
Cause your skin is so
Used to colder bones
Its warmer in the morning
Than what it is at night
Your bones are held together
By your nightmares and your frights
You are tired, you are hurt
A moth ate through your favorite shirt
And all your friends, they fertilize the ground you walk
So lose your mind
You are tired, you are hurt
A moth ate through your favorite shirt
And all your friends, they fertilize the ground you walk
Lose your mind |
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
I dont bother anyone
Nervous when I stand
Chokin on the circumstance
Only smokin secondhand
Cut us open, spread us out
Dry us in the sand
Lay the fibers side by side
And youll begin to understand
I know its over
I was born a choker
Nobodys comin for me
Comin for me
Mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
I dont bother anyone
Never make demands
Chokin on the circumstance
Self-sabotage is a sweet romance
Seems like all Im worth is what Im able to withstand
Sooner I can realize that pain is just a middleman
I know its over
I was born a choker
Nobodys comin for me
I see no volunteers to co-sign on my fears
Ill sign on the line
Alone, Im gonna change my circumstance
I know I need to move right now
Cause I know its over
I was born a choker
Nobodys comin for me
I know its over
I was born a choker
Nobodys comin for me
Comin for me
Like a little splinter buried in your skin
Someone else can carve it out but when youve got the pin
It hurts a little less and you can even push it further in
When your bodys screamin out, trust your minds listenin
Like a silhouette that you can barely see
As a shadow cast upon the ground where youll eventually
Lay forever, but the day goes on, the sun moves behind you
You get taller, bolder, stronger, and the rearview only blinds you
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm |
I know where you stand, silent in the trees
And thats where I am, silent in the trees
Why wont you speak where I happen to be?
Silent in the trees, standing cowardly
I can feel your breath
I can feel my death
I want to know you, I want to see
I want to say
Hello, hello
Hello, oh, hello
Da da, da da da, da-da
Da da, da da da, da-da
Da da, da da da, da-da
Da da, da da da, da-da
I know where you stand, silent in the trees
And thats where I am, silent in the trees
Why wont you speak where I happen to be?
Silent in the trees, standing cowardly
I can feel your breath
I can feel my death
I want to know you, I want to see
I want to say
Hello (Da da, da da da, da-da
Da da, da da da, da-da)
Hello (Da da, da da da, da-da
Da da, da da da, da-da)
Hello, hello, hello, hello
(Da da, da da da, da-da
Da da, da da da, da-da)
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Yeah (Da da, da da da, da-da
Da da, da da da, da-da)
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Hello, hello
Hello, hello |
Oh, Ms Believer, my pretty sleeper
Your twisted mind is like snow on the road
Your shaking shoulders prove that its colder
Inside your head than the winter of dead
I will tell you, I love you
But the muffs on your ears will cater your fears
My nose and feet are running as we start
To travel through snow, together we go
Together we go
We get colder as we grow older
We will walk so much slower
Oh, Ms Believer, my pretty weeper
Your twisted thoughts are like snow on the rooftops
Please, take my hand, were in foreign land
As we travel through snow, together we go
Together we go
We get colder as we grow older
We will walk so much slower |
I want to drive away
In the night, headlights call my name
I, Ill never be, be what you see inside
You say Im not alone, but I am petrified
You say that you are close, is close the closest star?
You just feel twice as far, you just feel twice as far
And Ill fall, and Ill break
And Ill fake, all I wanna
And Ill fall down, and Ill break down
And Ill fake you out, all I wanna
Im so afraid of what you have to say
Cause I am quiet now and silence gives you space
Ill never be, be what you see inside
You say Im not alone, but I am petrified
You say that you are close, is close the closest star?
You just feel twice as far, you just feel twice as far
And Ill fall, and Ill break
And Ill fake, all I wanna
And Ill fall down, and Ill break down
And Ill fake you out, all I wanna
Its the same game today as it always is
I dont give you space to speak my name explaining this
And the wrists of my mind have the bleeding lines
That remind me of all the times
I have committed dirty, dirty crimes that are perfectly form-fitted
To what Ive done and what Im doing
Im brewing and losing and spewing and fusing
And believe me, thats what all the kids are doing
What kids are doing, theyre killing themselves
They feel they have no control of their prisoner cell
And if youre one of them, then youre one of me
And you would do almost anything just to feel free
Am I right? Of course I am, convince me otherwise would take all night
Before you walk away, theres one more thing I want to say
Our brains are sick but thats okay
And Ill fall
And Ill break
And Ill fake
All I wanna
All I wanna
Yeah, and Ill fall down, and Ill break down
And Ill fake you out, all I wanna
Yeah, and Ill fall down, and Ill break down
And Ill fake you out, all I wanna
Im so afraid of what you have to say
Cause I am quiet now and silence gives you space |
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh
I dont know why I feed on emotion
Theres a stomach inside my brain
I dont wanna be heard, I wanna be listened to
Does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name?
Oh, does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name, your name?
I scream, you scream
We all scream, cause were terrified
Of whats around the corner
We stay in place
Cause we dont wanna lose our lives
So lets think of something better
Down in the forest, well sing a chorus
One that everybody knows
Hands held higher, well be on fire
Singing songs that nobody wrote
My brain has given up, white flags are hoisted
I took some food for thought, it might be poisoned
The stomach in my brain throws up onto the page
Does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name?
Does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name?
I scream, you scream
We all scream, cause were terrified
Of whats around the corner
We stay in place
Cause we dont wanna lose our lives
So lets think of something better
Oh
Down in the forest, well sing a chorus
One that everybody knows
Hands held higher, well be on fire
Singing songs that nobody wrote
Quickly moving towards the storm, moving forward, torn
Into pieces over reasons of what these storms are for
I dont understand why everything I adore
Takes a different form when I squint my eyes
Have you ever done that? When you squint your eyes
And your eyelashes make it look a little not right
And then when just enough light comes from just the right side
And you find youre not who youre supposed to be?
This is not what youre supposed to see
Please, remember me?
I am supposed to be
King of a kingdom, or swinging on a swing
Something happened to my imagination
The situations becoming dire
My tree house is on fire
And for some reason I smell gas on my hands
This is not what I had planned
This is not what I had planned
Down in the forest, well sing a chorus
Hands held higher, well be on fire
Singing songs that nobody wrote
Down in the forest, well sing a chorus
One that everybody knows, yeah
Hands held higher, well be on fire
Singing songs that nobody wrote
Hands held higher, well be on fire
Hands held higher, well be on fire |
I dont wanna fall, fall away
I dont wanna fall, fall away
Ill keep the lights on in this place
Cause I dont wanna fall, fall a—way
I dont wanna fall, fall a—way
I dont, I dont wanna fall away
I will keep the lights on in this place
Cause I dont wanna fall, fall away
I disguise and I will lie
And I will take my precious time
As the days melt away as I stand in line
And I die as I wait as I wait on my crime
And Ill try to delay what you make of my life
But I dont want your way, I want mine
Im dying and Im trying
But believe me, Im fine, but Im lying
Im so very far from fine
And I, I can feel the pull begin
I feel my conscience wearing thin
And my skin, it will start
To break up and fall apart
—way
I dont wanna fall, fall away
I dont wanna fall, fall away
I will keep the lights on in this place
Cause I dont wanna fall, fall away
Every time I feel selfish ambition is taking my vision
My crime is my sentence, repentance is taking commission
Its taking a toll on my soul, Im screaming submission and
I dont know if I am dying or living
Cause I will save face for names sake, abuse grace
Take aim to obtain a new name in a newer place
But my name is lame, I cant walk and I aint the same
And my name became a new destiny to the grave
And I, I can feel the pull begin
Feel my conscience wearing thin
And my skin, it will start
To break up and fall apart
—way
I dont wanna fall, fall away
I dont wanna fall, fall away
I will keep the lights on in this place
Cause I dont wanna fall, fall away
La da da da da

The air begins to feel a little thin
As I start the car and then I begin
To add the miles piled up behind me
I barely feel a smile deep inside me
And I begin to envy the headlights driving south
I want to crack the door so I can just fall out
But then I remember when you packed my car
You reached in the back and buckled up your heart
For me to drive away with
I began to understand why God died
The demon sat there waiting on her porch
It was a little dark, so he held a makeshift torch
And when my car was far out of sight
He crept in her room and stayed there for the night
And then I felt chills in my bones
The breath I saw was not my own
I knew my skin that wrapped my frame
Wasnt made to play this game
And then I saw him, torch in hand
He laid it out, what he had planned
And then I said, Ill take the grave
Please, just send them all my way
Then I felt chills in my bones
The breath I saw was not my own
I knew my skin that wrapped my frame
Wasnt made to play this game
And then I saw him, torch in hand
He laid it out, what he had planned
And then I said, Ill take the grave
Please, just send them all my way
I began to understand why God died
The air begins to feel a little thin
As were waiting for the morning to begin
But for now, you told me to hold this jar
And when I looked inside, I saw it held your heart
For me to walk away with
I began to understand why God died |
I do not know why I would go
In front of you and hide my soul
Cause youre the only one who knows it
Yeah, youre the only one who knows it
And I will hide behind my pride
D-dont know why I think I could lie
Cause theres a screen on my chest
Yeah theres a screen on my chest
Im standing in front of you
Im standing in front of you
Im trying to be so cool
Everything together trying to be so cool
Im standing in front of you
Oh, Im standing in front of you
Im trying to be so cool
Everything together trying to be so cool
I cant see past my own nose
Im seeing everything in slo-mo
Look out below crashing down to the ground
Just like a vertical locomotive, thats a train
Am I painting the picture thats in my brain?
A train from the sky, locomotive, my motives are insane
My flows not great, okay, I conversate with people
Who know if I flow on a song, Ill get no radio play
While youre doing fine, theres some people and I
Who have a really tough time getting through this life
So excuse us while we sing to the sky
Im standing in front of you
Im standing in front of you
Im trying to be so cool
Everything together trying to be so cool
Im standing in front of you
Oh Im standing in front of you
Oh Im trying to be so cool
Everything together trying to be so cool
Ooh, oooh
Oh-oh-oh, mm
Were broken, were broken
Were broken, were broken people
Were broken people, yeah
Were broken, were broken
Were broken, were broken people
Were broken people, yeah
Were broken, were broken
Were broken, were broken people
Were broken people, yeah
Im standing in front of you
Im standing in front of you
Im trying to be so cool
Everything together trying to be so cool
Im standing in front of you
Oh, Im standing in front of you
Oh, Im trying to be so cool
Everything together trying to be so cool |
He stays home from work this time
He never really told his wife
He never really told a lie
But this time, he decides that its alright
Its alright
No one really knows his mind
And no one knows behind his eyes
The man deserves a medal
But hes never really won a prize before
He goes to lock the door
He has fallen in love
He knows its enough
But the world looks down and frowns
Get up, Johnny Boy, get up, Johnny Boy
Get up, cause the world has left you lying on the ground
Youre my pride and joy, youre my pride and joy
Get up, Johnny Boy, because we all need you now
We all need you now
Someone said, Where you goin?
And someone said to you, Goodbye.
They deflect the disrespect
When they say that they blame it on the times
They blame it on the times
We all know youre qualified
To fix a chair and love your wife
They all know youre qualified
But they lie when they blame it on the times
Oh, we blame it on the times
Oh, he has fallen in love
He knows its enough
But the world looks down and frowns
Get up, Johnny Boy, get up, Johnny Boy
Get up, cause the world has left you lying on the ground
Youre my pride and joy, youre my pride and joy
Get up, Johnny Boy, because we all need you now
We all need you now
I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame and
I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame and
I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame
Get up, Johnny Boy, get up, Johnny Boy
Get up, cause the world has left you lying on the ground
Youre my pride and joy, youre my pride and joy
Get up, Johnny Boy, because we all need you now
Get up, Johnny Boy, get up, Johnny Boy
Get up, cause the world has left you lying on the ground
Youre my pride and joy, youre my pride and joy
Get up, Johnny Boy, because we all need you now |
There was a wonderful structure to the city
And it put my cares to rest
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Takin inventory of his life
Seein snapshots chronologically in line
Something told him he should look around and tidy up
He collected many things but never quite enough
Tried lookin at it from a new perspective
Flat on his back but he still heard the directive
Orders from that corner where that shadow always lived
Never asked permission, he just hopes that they forgive
I dont want to go like this
At least let me clean my room
I dont want to leave like this
Cause the last thing I want to do is
Make my people make decisions, wonderin what to do, oh
Should they keep it on display
Or redecorate?
Blankets over mirrors, she tends to like it
Shes not afraid of her reflection
But of what she might see behind it
She had plans to change her name, yeah
Just not the traditional way, yeah
Haunted by a couple big mistakes
She covers all the dents with the way she decorates
Then one night, she got cold with no blankets on her bed
So she ripped them off the mirror, stepped back and she said
I dont want to go like this
At least let me clean my room
I dont want to leave like this
Cause the last thing I want to do is
Make my people make decisions, wonderin what to do, oh
Should they keep it on display
Or redecorate?
With the bells and the whistles scaled back
Like an isolated track
And he feels trapped when hes not inebriated
Fair to say hes fairly sedated most days of the week
He might have made it if he lived on a different street
I repeat, scaled back and isolated
He says he likes an open schedule, but he mostly hates it
If youre running to his room, take a breath before you break in
Put your ear up to the door, tell me, can you hear him saying?
I dont want to go like this
At least let me clean my room
I dont want to leave like this
Cause the last thing I want to do is
Make my people make decisions, wondering what to do, oh
Should they keep it on display
Or redecorate?
I dont want to go like this
At least let me clean my room
I dont want to leave like this
Cause the last thing I want to do is

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Or redecorate?
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Or redecorate? |
Night falls, with gravity
The earth turns, from sanity
Taking my only friend I know
He leaves a lot, his name is Hope
Im never what I like
Im double-sided
And I just cant hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
Cause Im twisted up, Im twisted up, inside
The horrors of the night melt away
Under the warm glow of survival of the day
Then we move on
My shadow grows taller along with my fears
And my frame shrinks smaller as night grows near
When the sun is climbing window sills
And the silver lining rides the hills
I will be saved for one whole day
Until the sun makes the hills its grave
Im never what I like
Im double-sided
And I just cant hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
Cause Im twisted up, Im twisted up, inside
Im never what I like!
Im double-sided
And I just cant hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
Cause Im twisted up, Im twisted up, inside my mind
Im semi-automatic
My prayers schizophrenic
But Ill live on, yeah Ill live on, yeah Ill live on
Im semi-automatic
My prayers schizophrenic
But Ill live on, yeah Ill live on, yeah Ill live, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Im semi-automatic
My prayers schizophrenic
But Ill live on, yeah Ill live on, yeah Ill live on
Im semi-automatic
My prayers schizophrenic
But Ill live on, yeah Ill live on...
By the time the night wears off, the dust is down
And shadows burn
I will rise and stand my ground
Waiting for the nights return
Im never what I like
Im double-sided
And I just cant hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
Cause Im twisted up, Im twisted up, inside
Im never what I like!
Im double-sided
And I just cant hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
Cause Im twisted up, Im twisted up, inside my mind |
I feel for you, but when did you believe you were alone?
You say that spiders crawled inside and made themselves a home
Where light once was
Petrified of who you are and who you have become
You will hide from everyone, denying you need
Someone to exterminate your bones
Friend, please remove your hands
From over your eyes for me
I know you want to leave
But friend, please dont take your life away from me
Living like a ghost, you walk by everyone you know
You say that youre fine, but you have lost your sway and glow
So I stopped by to let you know
Friend, please remove your hands
From over your eyes for me
I know you want to leave
But friend, please dont take your life away from me
Would you let me know your plans tonight?
Cause I just wont let go til we both see the light
And I have nothing else, oh, left to say
But I will listen to you all day
Yes, I will
Friend, please remove your hands
From over your eyes for me
I know you want to leave
But friend, please dont take your life away from me |
He wakes up early today
Throws on a mask that will alter his face
Nobody knows his real name
But now he just uses one he saw on a grave
And he pretends hes okay, but you should see, oh
Him in bed late at night, hes petrified
Take me out, and finish this waste of a life
Everyone gather around for a show
Watch as this man disappears as we know
Do me a favor and try to ignore
As you watch him fall through a blatant trapdoor
He thinks that faith might be dead
Nothing kills a man faster than his own head
He used to see dreams at night
But now hes just watching the backs of his eyes
And he pretends hes okay, but you should see
Him in bed late at night, hes petrified
Take me out and finish this waste of a life
Everyone gather around for a show
Watch as this man disappears as we know
Do me a favor and try to ignore
As you watch him fall through a blatant trapdoor
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah!
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Take me out and finish this waste of a life
Everyone gather around for a show
Watch as this man disappears as we know
Do me a favor and try to ignore
When you watch him fall through a blatant trapdoor
Cause nobody knows hes alive |
You will never know whats behind my skull
So wont you say goodnight, so I can say goodbye?
You will never know whats under my hair
So wont you say goodnight, so I can say goodbye?
You will never know whats under my skin
So wont you say goodnight, so I can say goodbye?
You will never know what is in my veins
So wont you say goodnight, so I can say goodbye?
Wont you go to someone elses dreams?
Wont you go to someone elses head?
Havent you taken enough from me?
Wont you torture someone elses sleep?
And you will never know what Im thinking of
Wont you go to someone elses dreams?
So wont you say goodnight, so I can say goodbye
Wont you go to someone elses head?
And you will never understand what I believe
Havent you taken enough from me?
So wont you say goodnight so I can say goodbye?
Wont you torture someone else?
Havent you taken enough from me?
Wont you torture someone elses sleep?
Wont you go to someone elses dreams?
Wont you go to someone elses head?
Havent you taken enough from me?
Wont you torture someone elses sleep?
I start to part two halves of my heart in the dark and I
Dont know where I should go and the tears and the fears begin to multiply
Taking time in a simple place; in my bed where my head rests on a pillowcase
And its said that a wars lead but I forget that I let another day go by
I want to be afraid but it seems that these days
Im caught underwater and Im falling farther
My hearts getting harder, Im calling my father
Am I screaming to an empty sky?
Empty sky, no way, thats me cause one half of my heart is free
Empty sky, no way, thats me, cause the other half of my hearts asleep |
Ruby, I hope I see you, Ive waited all this week
For you to walk my way, your soul will capture me
Your mama painted your room a shade of pink, she said
But with your great arrival, that shade has turned to red
Ruby, take my hand, please lead me to the Promised Land
Tell me, where am I from? Your eyes say, sha-da-dee-da-dum
Ruby, youre royalty, in your homeland, they all call you queen
Tell me, where are you from? Your eyes say, sha-da-dee-da-dum
Youre an angel fallen down
Wont you tell us of the clouds?
You have fallen from the sky
How high, how high?
Youre an angel fallen down
Wont you tell us of the clouds?
You have fallen from the sky
How high, how high?
Youre true and pure
You hold the cure
Were all diseased
You hold the key
Youre an angel fallen down
Wont you tell us of the clouds?
You have fallen from the sky
How high, how high? ?
Tell our dad Im sorry
Tell our dad Im sorry
Tell our dad Im sorry

Youre an angel

Tell our dad Im sorry, yeah
Youre an angel, youre an angel |
I know youre not a liar and I know you could set fire this day
Go ahead and make me look away
Strike me down, I am calling your lightning down from your dark hiding place
Go ahead and show me your face
Reign down and destroy me
Reign down and destroy me
Reign down
I mean no disrespect
I am simply very perplexed by your ways
Why would you let us use your name?
Reign down and destroy me
Reign down and destroy me
Reign down and destroy me
Reign down and destroy me
Reign down
Reign down |
I cant take them on my own, my own
Pa, Im not the one you know, you know
I have killed a man and all I know is
I am on the run and go
Dont wanna call you in the nighttime
Dont wanna give you all my pieces
Dont wanna hand you all my trouble
Dont wanna give you all my demons
Youll have to watch me struggle
From several rooms away
But tonight, Ill need you to stay
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do
I am up against the wall, the wall
Pa, I hear them coming down the hall
I have killed a man and all I know is
I am on the run and go
Dont wanna call you in the nighttime
Dont wanna give you all my pieces
Dont wanna hand you all my trouble
Dont wanna give you all my demons
Youll have to watch me struggle
From several rooms away
But tonight, Ill need you to stay
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do, do, do, do
Cold nights under siege from accusations
Cerebral thunder and one-way conversations
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Dont wanna call you in the nighttime
Dont wanna give you all my pieces
Dont wanna hand you all my trouble
Dont wanna give you all my demons
Youll have to watch me struggle
From several rooms away
But tonight, Ill need you to stay
Tonight, Ill need you to stay
Tonight, Ill need you to stay
Tonight, Ill need you to stay
Tonight, Ill need you to stay! |
Theres miles of land in front of us
And were dying with every step we take
Were dying with every breath we make
And Ill fall in line
A strangers back is all I see
Hes only a few feet in front of me
And Ill look left and right sometimes
But Ill fall in line
No one looks up anymore
Cause you might get a raindrop in your eye
And Heaven forbid they see you cry
As we fall in line
And about this time of every year
The line will go to the ocean pier
And walk right off into the sea
And then we fall asleep
And as we near the end of land
And our ocean graves are just beyond the sand
I ask myself the question why I fall in line
And then out of the corner of my eye
I see a spaceship in the sky
And hear a voice inside my head
Follow me instead
Follow me instead
Follow me
Then the wages of war will start
Inside my head with my counterparts
And the emotionless marchers will chant the phrase
This lines the only way
And then I start down the sand
My eyes are focused on the end of land
But again the voice inside my head says
Follow me instead
Follow me instead
Follow me
Follow me instead
Follow me instead
Follow me instead
Follow me instead
Follow me instead
Take me up, seal the door
I dont want to march here anymore
I realize that this line is dead
So Ill follow you instead
So then you put me back in my place
So I might start another day
And once again I will be
In a march to the sea |
I dont fall slow like I used to, I fall straight down
Youve stolen my air catcher that kept me safe and sound
My parachutes what got me safely to ground
But now the cords not working and I see you staring me down
I wont fall in love with falling
I will try to avoid those eyes, oh
I think you would beat the moon in a pretty contest
And the moon just happened to be the very first thing that I missed
I was doing fine on my own and there wasnt much I lacked
But youve stolen my air catcher and I dont know if I want it back
I wont fall in love with falling
I will try to avoid those eyes
Cause Im not sure I want to give you
Tools that can destroy my heart
And I just dont say what you wanna hear
So Ill write my fears
And I dont believe in talking just to breathe
And falling selfishly
I wont fall in love with falling
I will try to avoid those eyes
But now Im here to give you words as
Tools that can destroy my heart |
You say things with your mouth, cobwebs and flies come out
I hear a second voice behind your tongue somehow
Luckily I can read your mind, flies and cobwebs unwind
They will not take you down, they will not cast you out, out
Dear friend, here we are again
Pretending to understand how you think your world is ending
Sending signals and red flags in waves
Its hard to tell the difference between blood and water these days
Ill pray that one day youll see
The only difference between life and dying
Is one is trying, thats all were called to do
So try to love me and Ill try to save you
Wont you stay alive? Ill take you on a ride
I will make you believe you are lovely
Wont you stay alive? Ill take you on a ride
I will make you believe you are lovely
Your redemption wont grow stale
We are now just setting sail
On the seas of what we fear
Treason now is growing near to me
Im coming clean
God, hit me straight on
God, hit me straight on
Wont you stay alive? Ill take you on a ride
I will make you believe you are lovely
Wont you stay alive? Ill take you on a ride
I will make you believe you are lovely
Dont be gone, dont be gone
Dont be gone, dont be gone
Dont be gone
You say things with your mouth, cobwebs and flies come out
You say things with your mouth, cobwebs and flies come out
You say things with your mouth, cobwebs and flies come out
You say things with your mouth, cobwebs and flies come out
You say things with your mouth, cobwebs and flies come out
You say things with your mouth, cobwebs and flies come out |

We all are stranger creatures than when we all started out as kids
Culture forbids
We have romantic fantasies about what dying truly is
Fall off the grid
We live for the nights decor
It reveals what we dream of
I know theres someone at the door
They called for help, of this Im sure
But do I want to say goodbye
To all the glowing eyes?
Im holding on to what I know
And what I know, I must let go
But I would rather play a song
For the eyes to sing along
La, la, da, da

We all know somebody who knows somebody whos doing great
I know some people who know people who are flying straight
But Ill kindly enter into rooms of depression
While ceiling fans and idle hands will take my life again
We live for the nights decor
It reveals what we dream of
I know theres someone at the door
They called for help, of this Im sure
But do I want to say goodbye
To all the glowing eyes?
Im holding on to what I know
And what I know, I must let go
But I would rather play a song
For the eyes to sing along
This room is far too dark for us to stay around
Redemptions not that far, and darkness is going down

Slow down on Monday
Not a sound on Wednesday, yeah
Might get loud on Friday
But on Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
We paint the town
Lose my sense a time or two
Weeks feel like days
Medicate in the afternoon
And I just want to know;
Have you lost your footing, too?
I just pray that Im not losing you
Catch me floatin circles in my fishbowl
Keep things fresh
She said that I should change my clothes
I exaggerate the life we used to know, oh, oh
Slow down on Monday
Not a sound on Wednesday, yeah

Did the tide forget to move?
I just pray that Im not losin you
Catch me floatin circles in my fishbowl
Keep things fresh
She said that I should change my clothes
I exaggerate the life we used to know, oh, yeah
Workin on music?
Yeah
I-Ill just go to bed, Im tired
I wanna watch Friends with you
Oh, if you feel like you have time to do a song or youre inspired
You should just go for it
Slow down on Monday

In my house shoes in a foot race
In this house, we got feng shui
Get the door to blow you away
Flamethrower, you a switchblade
Feet planted on grip tape
With my shoulders squared and my back straight
Got a good base and a loose tongue

Whered you go, huh? They all think I know you
Its so hard to motivate me to devote
A single inch of me to something I cant see
I dont mean to pry but why would you even make the eyes?
I dont believe my ears and Im scared of my own head
I will deny you for years then Ill make you raise me from the dead
And if I said that I would live for you for nothing in return
Well, Im sorry, Mr. Gullible, but lyings all Ive learned
So be concerned
So be concerned
Uh, uh
No music, and I can talk about anything
Whether or not its worthwhile, it’s based on whos listenin
Most of us listen if its something we can relate to
All of us relate if its something weve just been through
Taken for granted, trust is damaged and now we panic
Livin empty handed, livin lives like we can manage
I cant feel you, but still know where home is, feeling like Jonah did
Almost dropped the bat like every base was fully loaded

So be concerned
You should, yeah
I am disappearing inside my birds eye theories
I tried to say goodbye, defy, and deny what it is Im fearing
Clearly I am dying, dearly I am writing, merely
Testifying that a test to fly requires I pass the test with colors flying
I dont believe you most of the time
Im lying cause I say I am fine
You are the pearl, I am the swine
So break my life and take this rhyme
Im so sorry but I do believe
That all my bridges I have burned
And Ive earned a policy of no-return

Hey, hey
Wouldnt it be great, great
If we could just lay down
And wake up in Slowtown?
Today, day
I wanna go away, way
Cause things are too fast now
I wanna be in Slowtown
I put my socks on my feet
Just so that my soul wont fall through my toes
And I walk through my door
Just so I dont fall through the floor
I remember when my brother and other kids from neighboring houses
Would get together, Id ride my bike and my brother would ride his
Put cards in our spokes and make our engines sound like traffic
When using Pokémon cards, please do not use the holographics
So bold and fearless in the risks wed take
Laugh in the face of gravity as its laws wed break
On trampolines so high, wed reach for the sky
But I do not look up anymore and I dont know why
I put my socks on my feet
Just so that my soul wont fall through my toes
And I walk through my door
Just so I dont fall through the floor

Yelling on the street corner, or cleverly masking your words

Whether or not I got caught, they just might
Wage war on you, therefore its true

Introspection is the name of this session
Spread this infection, reflect it on the next one
The next one, the next one
And when were done
Well all have made something new under the sun
Im not done, Im not done yet, no
Kick me off the stage and take my microphone
Then youll walk up to me and when you get close
Ill look you in the face and say, Wheres your home?
Wherere you going and whyre you here?
Have you asked these questions? Have you been sincere?
Wanna know what I believe? Its right here
Dig a little deeper and its crystal clear

You split, and take in every time you see a fake and counterfeit
In the mirror, you appear to see fear and whisper This is it
At the mirror you appear to see nothing else
But yourself as a face, a hollowed-out space
Leave me with the razor, just in case I fall
Face down on the ground and somehow I found
Enough strength to lift my face and make a sound
And muffled though it may be, and crazy it seems
I never felt closer to you, just crying as you torture me
Its time to say goodbye
To the earth and now my worthless life
Cause everything Ive ever made
Is dead now, inside the grave
Its time to say goodbye
To the earth and now my worthless life
Cause everything Ive ever made
Is dead now, inside the grave
I just dont wanna be so many things, and now that I see
I just wanna sing, I just wanna breathe, I just wanna fly
I just wanna close my eyes, and take in the sun
And take in the air, I just wanna run and murder my care
I wanna believe that I will be free elsewhere
And Im standing on a tower trying my hardest to make it
To You, but I built this tower out of mortal bricks
Theyre breaking, I truly will surrender
My pretender, my disguise and Ill truly start to render
To Your splendor, so its time to say goodbye
Its time to say goodbye
To the earth and now my worthless life

Is dead now, inside the grave

Cause everything Ive ever made

The perplexities of the Dema horizon didnt occur to me until my ninth year. It was then that I began to contemplate the existential, and decide what type of impression I wanted my life to make. Naturally, to fuel my hope, I looked out upon the distance of the land that had cultivated me, only this time with new awareness of the obstruction that my youthful ignorance had allowed me to overlook. Was it there the whole time? How had I not seen something so obvious? I am reminded of the moment daily, as the realization directly collides with a unique hope for my own future. As a child, I looked upon Dema with wonder, today, I am wrought with frustration, as I spend each day squinting for a glimpse of the top of the looming wall that has kept us here. It was upon my ninth year that I learned that Dema wasn’t my home. This village, after all of this time, was my trap.
Before I became realized, I had deep affection for Dema. There was a wonderful structure to the city that put my cares to rest. Streets and locations were dependable, and the responsibilities of the day seemed to be accomplished with minimal effort. Once a task was taught and understood, we delighted in our ability to complete our obligations timely, and felt secure in knowing tomorrows duties would be accomplished with the same efficiency. We all worked to represent our bishop with honor, and knew that each inhabitant of our region had a like-minded dedication to consistency.
Keons embodied the spirit of this dedication. Of Demas nine bishops, Keons was reserved as unwavering and forthright, possessing the ability to achieve focus that was rare for most in our region. We all admired his, and felt honored to be inhabitants of his region. While we had heard legend of the ruthlessness of other bishops, Keons possessed a stoic demeanor unlike anyone I had ever met, and we were all proud to serve.

To refer to Dema as m home has never felt accurate. Dema, t me, has simply been the place that I’ve existed, or, the slot theyve put me in. Ive heard stories abot the ide of home, and its depiction has always seemed warm fom the storytllers decription. here was a romantc ownership of the pace they inhabited that I admired, but coud never relate to. Thi place, my pace, however, sems devoid of the romance and wondr that the old stories tell. But somewhere between the iron order and fallible recison of Dema, a hum of woder exists. Its this quiet wonder that my mind tends to ets lost in. This hope of discovery alone has birthed a new version of myself; A better version, I hope, that will find a way to experience whats beyond these colossal walls.

A lifeless light surrounds us each night. Never could I imagine that
something so luminous could feel so dark. I’ts this glow that reminds us of the dreamless existence we’ve been sentenced to. But what I call a sentence, others accept as normalcy. How did they so efficiently eradicate the dreams within us? When the bishops instituted Vialism as mandate, they effectively reversed the hope that many arrived with. Am I the only one who realizes that weve been lied to? Am I the only one not afraid of the notion that the nine have hijacked our trust, and extinguished the hope that once motivated our existence? We used to close our eyes and picture a better life, now this city is full of dry eyes caught in a trance of obedience, devoid of any trace of an identity. The only significant light I’ve seen has been in the eyes of of those smeared - such a curious sight, to see bright eyes strangled by the darkness of bishop hands. As their penance fades, so dims their memory of something more. My hope of something more is all I have in this rigid tomb, and I will not let it die.

Theyre asleep. The night took forever to arrive, and now were almost ready. Weve studied the watchers, and know that there’s no chance that we can step through unnoticed. So, instead of trying to hide ourselves, well make sure that all of us are noticed. Its been one year since the last convocation, and tomorrows Annual Assemblage of Glorified will be the biggest spectacle this concrete coffin of a city has seen all year. If we time it right, well divert the attention of the watchers and finally take the step through. Weve had no contact, but were hoping the other side will be able to find a way in. Were not sure of the breach location, but we are willing to risk being smeared in order to find it. We know that we must go lower, and wait for the torches. Theyve never seen anything quite like this, and by morning, everything will be different. Im terrified and excited, all at the same time. They dont control us.

Ive made it out.
I feel weightless. I know that place had always held me down, but for the first time,
I can feel the unity that I had hoped for. Its been three nights now, and my breathing has changed - its slower, and more full.
Its like the air out here is actually worth taking in.
I can see it back in the distance, and Id be lying if I said that it wasnt constantly on my mind.
I wish I could turn that fear off, but maybe the further I go, the less that fear will affect me. I feel betrayed by what I assumed was home.
If I ever end up back there, I wont be able to look at it the same way.
They are asleep. Theyre so sure that they know the truth, and carry on throughout their day with the same meaningless tasks.
Theyve forgotten to look up, and to look outward, to understand that this isnt about in there.
This is about out here.
This new world surrounds me. I used to think the walls back home were massive- these green cliffs engulf me, and place me right in the middle-
Trench is quite precarious at times, and its easy to grow weary. But its real, and its true, and Id much rather endure reality than to mindlessly be obedient to a life that
someone else created for me. Ive obsessed about this world for so long, that it feels more like home than anything Ive experienced.
Somehow, in this vast openness, I feel more protected than ever.
The landscape feels endless, and Ive found myself walking for hours without any true evidence of getting further down.
But Ive seen plants and colors out here that Im not sure Ive witnessed before. Theres a beauty in the strangest places,- and the curiosity of whats next continues to
motivate me.
I wonder who else is out here. If what i assumed inside is true, theres got to be more like me. Sometimes Ill feel a presence, only to look up and see nothing.
Its just another thing that Im afraid of that also excites me. It all just confirms all of the things that I hoped to be true for all of this time.
I am out here and I am very alive. Im sometimes scared, but always discovering something new, and I will not stop. Cover me!

I cant believe what I just saw. Im still trying to understand. This whole time I thought I was all alone - a single soul in this vast unknown world. But a few days into this trek, I looked down to see a figure headed the same way I was. Ive tucked myself in these caves and crevices, trying my best to keep hidden, but he was out in the open, making his exhausting journey right down the middle of Trench. I was curious enough to follow alongside the path with him. He seemed unaffected by the fear of the unknown - the fear that tends to cripple me. To him, the terrain seemed familiar, as if he had been out here before.
While lost in my curiosity, they appeared. I had heard about them back in Dema, but to my knowledge, the stories were merely myth. Ten, twenty, and then what seemed to be a hundred Banditos appeared upon the cliffs, all looking down at him. He only stopped for a moment to look back up at them, and then continued on his way. His energy changed, and I wasnt sure if he was frightened or encouraged by their ominous presence.
They warned him of what was about to come. It was a blur. First seeing the figure, then the Banditos, only to now have my eyes opened to the oncoming Bishop upon a white horse drawing closer in the distance.
The figure halted, and waited. When the Bishop stopped, I was sure he looked up, directly at me, so I hid deeper back in a cave. The presence of the robed rider seemed to paralyze the man. He stood still as he was approached, powerless as the outstretched hands smeared his neck. I had never seen a Bishop possess a power like this. Keons had always seemed gentle and warm - this bishop, at least out here, seemed like something else.
So I ran, and Ive been running for as long as my legs and lungs can handle. Maybe this note will be my proof that what I witnessed was not a dream. A million questions race through my brain. Am I not the only one traveling through Trench?
Ill travel a little farther, and maybe Ill get a moment of rest tonight. I may have made a mistake, leaving. This spot, between two places, is beginning to feel like an endless and hopeless abyss. At least Dema is a place that I know, and at times like this, I miss a lot about what I know. This will all be much tougher than I imagined. Nothing out here is familiar. Ive witnessed the presence of others for the first time today, and I feel more alone than ever. Cover me.

I cant face this page for long enough to write what Im truly feeling. I am only wrought with more questions: Questions about what I assumed to be true, questions about what my own path is, and the question that has plagued my every night that I lie here, back in the city: Did I give up?
The force I saw between him and his bishop seemed tense to me, and frightening. But the memory of that exchange has had time to fester and replay in my mind long enough that Im questioning if I even remembered it correctly. I assumed the bishop was forcefully retrieving his subject, but now I wonder if the bishop was actually trying to save him, but he refused.
I stayed out there for five days after I watched it happened. I havent seen him since. Maybe he got away, and was still out in Trench with me. Maybe the bishop chased him down, and brought him home.
Home?
Did I just call this place ´home?`
After all of the endless beauty that I saw out there, I am now convincing myself that Im actually better off within these confines?
I admit, It was more difficult than I expected. Nothing could have prepared me for how much the ´unknown´ can consume me. Vast landscapes and endless possibilities, yet coupled with endless danger. I became anxious. I became tired. I became hungry. Every step I took seemed harder than the last, jumping from jagged rucky step to step, or pulling myself through thick forest – it all became debilitating, and I was sure that I couldnt go on.
Keons approached as the sun rose one morning. I wasnt scared. I was relieved. After all that he had taught me, his presence was the most comforting moment that I had in days, and I couldnt help but be happy to see him. In true Keons fashion, he wrapped his arms around me, then put his hands under my face, looked me in the eyes, and then said “Clancy, my child, lets go home.”
Ive been here for a few weeks now, and while the routines of this world are comforting, and certainly easier than life out there, my mind keeps bouncing between the two places.
Which one is home? Are the bishops protecting me, and the torches upon the hilltop dangerous? Or is it the other way around? My dreams pull me from world to world, and I feel lost in between all of it.
There is still so much I do not understand.
-Clancy |
Sometimes I feel cold, even paralyzed
My interior world needs to sanitize
It might take some friends and a warmer shirt
But you dont get thick skin without getting burnt
Nice to know my kind will be on my side
I dont believe the hype
And you know youre a terrible sight
But youll be just fine
Just dont believe the hype
Just dont believe the hype
Take it from me, youll be with your kind, yeah
Just dont believe the hype
Everywhere you go, you wont be surprised, yeah
Sometimes I feel cold, even paralyzed
My interior world needs to sanitize
It might take some friends and a warmer shirt
But you dont get thick skin without getting burnt
Nice to know my kind will be on my side

And you know youre a terrible sight
But youll be just fine
Just dont believe the hype
Just dont believe the hype
Take it from me, youll be with your kind, yeah
Just dont believe the hype
Everywhere you go, you wont be surprised, yeah
(We’re gonna rely pretty heavily
On technology
And energy
To cover up the fact that we’re only two people
But I think we can do it)
No, I dont know which way Im goin
But I can hear the way, yeah
No, I dont know which way Im goin
But I can hear the way, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Youll be with your kind, yeah yeah

I love you, Tyler!
Hello, and welcome to the Blurryface Tour
How we doin so far? We doin alright?
Is it cool if we play a few older ones for ya, yeah?
Your grandpa died when you were nine
They said he had lost his mind
You have learned way too soon
You should never trust the pantaloon
You are tired, you are hurt
A moth ate through your favorite shirt
And all your friends fertilize the ground you walk
Lose your mind
Im never what I like
Im double-sided
And I just cant hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
Cause Im twisted up, Im twisted up, inside my mind
Down in the forest, well sing a chorus
One that everybody knows
Hands held higher, well be on fire
Singing songs that nobody wrote
Down in the forest, well sing a chorus
One that everybody knows
Hands held higher, well be on fire
Singing songs that nobody wrote
Im standing in front of you
Im standing in front of you
Im trying to be so cool
Everything together trying to be so cool
Im standing in front of you
Oh, Im standing in front of you
Oh, Im trying to be so cool
Everything together trying to be so cool
Trying to be so cool, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Ill tell em
Why wont you let me go
Do I threaten all your plans?
Im insignificant
Please tell em
You have no plans for me
I will set my soul on fire
What have I become?
Ill tell em
Hello, we havent talked in quite some time
I know I havent been the best of sons
Hello, Ive been traveling in the deserts of my mind
And I havent found a drop
I tried desperately to run through the sand as I
Hold the water in the palm of my hand
Cause its all that I have and its all that I need and
The waves of the water mean nothing to me
But I tried my best and all that I can to
Hold tightly onto whats left in my hand
But no matter how, how tightly I will strain
The sand will slow me down and the water will drain
Im just being dramatic, in fact
Im only at it again as an addict with a pen
Whos addicted to the wind, as it blows me back and forth
Mindless, spineless, and pretend
Of course Ill be here again
See you tomorrow, but its the end of today
End of my ways as a walking denial
My trial was filed as a crazy, suicidal head case
But you specialize in dying, you hear me screaming, Father!
And Im lying here just crying, so wash me with your water
Were broken
Were broken
Were broken
Were broken people, oh
Were broken people, oh, yeah
Were bro- |
Sippin on straight chlorine
Let the vibe slide over me
This beat is a chemical, beat is a chemical
When I leave, dont save my seat
Ill be back when its all complete
The moment is medical, moment is medical
Sippin on straight chlorine
Lovin what Im tastin, woo
Venom on my tongue, dependent at times
Poisonous vibrations, woo
Help my body run
Im runnin for my life
Runnin for my life
Sippin on straight chlorine
Let the vibe slide over me
This beat is a chemical, beat is a chemical
When I leave, dont save my seat
Ill be back when its all complete
The moment is medical, moment is medical
Sippin on straight chlorine
Fall out of formation, hoo
I plan my escape from walls they confined
Rebel red carnations, woo
Grows while I decay
Im runnin for my life
Runnin for my life
Yeah, Im runnin for my
Runnin for my
Runnin for my life
Hide you in my coat pocket, where I kept my rebel red
Felt I was invincible, you wrapped around my head
The different lives I lead, my body lives on lead
The last two lines may read incorrect until said
The lead is terrible in flavor
Now you double as a paper maker
I despise you sometimes, I love to hate the fight
And you in my life is like
Sippin on straight chlorine
Let the vibe slide over me
This beat is a chemical, beat is a chemical
When I leave, dont save my seat
Ill be back when its all complete
The moment is medical, moment is medical
Sippin on straight chlorine
Let the vibe, let the vibe
Let the vibe, let the vibe, oh
Beat is a chemical, yeah
Let the vibe, let the vibe
Let the vibe, let the vibe, oh
Moment is medical, yeah
Sippin on straight chlorine
Sippin on straight chlorine
Sippin on straight chlorine
Ooh |
Time stands still
Time stands still
Theres a metaphor in hand
A metaphoric blast wich only few will understand
Under clothes, Under skin, Underneath were all the same
For when you remove the tricky tricks
Only skeleton bones remain
Only skeleton bones remain
I wake up fine and dandy
But then by the time I find it handy
To rip my heart apart and start
Planning my crash landing
I go up, up, up, up, up to the ceiling
Then I feel my soul start leaving
Like an old mans hair receding
Im pleading, Please, oh please!
On my knees repeatedly asking
Why its got to be like this
Is this living free?
I dont wanna be the one
Be the one to have the suns blood on my hands
Ill tell the moon
Take this weapon, forged in darkness
Some see a pen, I see harpoon
Ill stay awake
Cause the darks not taking prisoners tonight
Why am I not scared in the morning?
I dont hear those voices calling
I must have kicked them out
I must have kicked them out
I swear I heard demons yelling
Those crazy words they were spelling
They told me I was gone
They told me I was gone
But I tell em
Why wont you let me go
Do I threaten all your plans?
Im insignificant
Please tell em
You have no plans for me
I will set my soul on fire
What have I become?
Ill tell em
On the eve of a day thats forgotten and fake
As the trees, they await, and clouds anticipate
The start of a day when we put on our face
A mask that portrays that we dont need grace
On the eve of a day that is bigger than us
But we open our eyes, cause were told that we must
And the trees wave their arms and the clouds try to plead
Desperately yelling, Theres something we need!
Im not free, I asked forgiveness three times
Same amount that I denied, I three-time MVPd this crime
Im afraid to tell you who I adore
Wont tell you who Im singing towards
Metaphorically, Im a whore, and thats denial number four
Ill stay awake
Cause the darks not taking prisoners tonight
Why am I not scared in the morning?
I dont hear those voices calling
I must have kicked them out
I must have kicked them out
I swear I heard demons yelling
Those crazy words they were spelling
They told me I was gone
They told me I was gone
But I tell em
Why wont you let me go
Do I threaten all your plans?
Im insignificant
Please tell em
You have no plans for me
I will set my soul on fire
What have I become?
Ill tell em
You have have no plans for me
I will set my soul on fire
What have I become?
Ill tell em
Ill tell em
Ill tell em
Ill tell em
Please tell em
You have no plans for me
I will set my soul on fire
What have I become?

Just need you to tell me were alright
Tell me were okay
Panic on the brain, Michaels gone insane

Cause I told you my level of concern
But you walked by like you never heard
And you could bring down my level of concern
Just need you to tell me were alright

Theres an infestation in my mind’s imagination
I hope they choke on smoke cause I’m smoking them out the basement
A real boss dont move for nobody
But my shooter, he got plenty bodies, he hit anybody
Rapping to prove nothing, just writing to say something
Cause I wasn’t the only one who wasn’t rushing to saying nothing
Each and everybody, somebody
Any, any, eenie meenie minie moebody, stiff
Nobody live
(Flacko Jodye stepped up in this piece
Bust my Glock to ensure that all you niggas rest in peace)
Can you save
Can you save my
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
Can you save
Can you save my
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
For me, for me
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
Mothafucka better blast that shit
Niggas drink quarts of the Clicquot
Bitches sniff raw of the kilos
Flacko makes sales of the perico
She knows, went to ATL for my C-Note
Member, I aint ever have no home
Now I got a penthouse and a beach home
Back when I was rockin least
I was trappin off at least like three phones
Talk about Ms
Hope youre dead cause how could you
Sleep at a time like this?
People they rhyme like this
Were all impressed by this
They rip it, flip it
But these are just triplets
Wrote this in three minutes
Three words to a line
Its just poetry divided
Im the kind of guy
Who takes every moment
He knows he confided in
Music to use it
For others to use it
Youre dead cause how could you
Sleep at a time like this?
I’m sorry if that question I asked last
Scared you a bit like a Hazmat, in a gas mask if you ask Zack
He’s my brother, he likes when I rap fast
Dont hold your breath, load your piece and then squeeze, then release
Forget sanity, forget salary, forget vanity, my morality
If you get in between someone I love and me
You’re gonna feel the heat of my cavalry
All these songs I’m hearing are so heartless
Don’t trust a perfect person and don’t trust a song that’s flawless
They say, stay in your lane, boy, , lane, boy
But we go where we want to
They think this thing is a highway, , highway
But will they be alive tomorrow?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I know I dream about her all day
I think about her with her clothes off
Im ridin round with my system bumpin LSD
I look for ways to say, I love you
But I aint into makin love songs
Baby, Im just rappin to this LSD
1, 2, 3, go!
It started in Hollywood
Dreamin of sharin love
My tongue at a loss for words
Cause my feelings just said it all
Party just started up
Dreamin of sharin worlds
Held this feeling for way too long
Said, I really wanna let it go
Remembering the day
They call him Pretty Flacko
Were calling up our mommas with no drama just to say
Look momma, we made it, were on the VMAs! |
You know I cant take one more step towards you
‘Cause all thats waiting is regret
Dont you know Im not your ghost anymore?
You lost the love I loved the most
I learned to live, half-alive
Now you want me one more time
Who do you think you are?
Runnin round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
Youre gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Dont come back for me
Who do you think you are?
I hear youre asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms
I learned to live, half-alive
Now you want me one more time
Who do you think you are?
Runnin round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
Youre gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Dont come back for me
Who do you think you are?
It took so long just to feel alright
You remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
‘Cause you broke all your promises
And now youre back
You dont get to get me back
Who do you think you are?
Runnin round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
Youre gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Dont come back for me
Dont come back at all
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think...
You are? |
No one, no one, no one get in the way of what Im feeling
No one, no one, no one get in the way of what Im feeling
No I wont hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait
Im sure theres no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate
Im yours
All I do is win, win, win, no matter what
Got money on my mind I can never get enough
Cause ever time I step up in the building
Everybodys hands go up-
And they stay there, and they stay there, and they stay there
Up down, up down, up down
Cause all I do is win, win, win
And if youre going in put your hands in the air
And they stay there
Nobody wanna see us together, but it dont matter, no
Cause I got you
Nobody wanna see us together, but it dont matter, no
Its a remix to ignition
I am fresh out the kitchen
Mama rolling that body
Got every man in there wishing
Sippin on coke and rum
Im like So what Im drunk?
Its the freaking weekend baby Im about to have me some fun
Crystal popping in the stretch navigator
We got food everywhere
As if the party was catered
We got fellas to my left
Honeys on my right
Were bring them both all together
We got juking all night
Do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do
Hey! Must be the money!
If you wanna go and take a ride with me

Oh why must I feel this way?
Hey! Must be the money!
If you wanna go and get high with me
Smoke an L in the back of the Benz-E
Oh why must I feel this way?
Hey! Must be the money!
If you wanna go and take a ride with me

Oh why must I feel this way?
Yea yea yea
If you wanna go and take a ride with me
3-wheeling in 4 with the gold Ds
Oh why must I feel this way? |
Theres an infestation in my mind’s imagination
I hope that they choke on smoke cause I’m smoking them out the basement
This is not rap, this is not hip-hop
Just another attempt to make the voices stop
Rapping to prove nothing, just writing to say something
Cause I wasnt the only one who wasn’t rushing to saying nothing
This doesn’t mean I lost my dream
It’s just right now I got a really crazy mind to clean
Gangsters dont cry
Therefore, therefore Im Mr. Misty-eyed, therefore Im
Can you save, can you save my
Can you save my heavy dirty soul?
Can you save, can you save my
Can you save my heavy dirty soul?
For me, for me, oh
Can you save my heavy dirty soul?
For me, for me, oh
Can you save my heavy dirty soul?
Nah, I didnt understand a thing you said
If I didn’t know better, Id guess you’re all already dead
Mindless zombies walking around with a limp and a hunch
Saying stuff like “You only live once
Youve got one time to figure it out
One time to twist and one time to shout
One time to think and I say we start now
Sing it with me if you know what I’m talking about
Gangsters dont cry
Therefore, therefore Im Mr. Misty-eyed, therefore I’m
Can you save, can you save my
Can you save my heavy dirty soul?
Can you save, can you save my
Can you save my heavy dirty soul?
For me, for me, oh
Can you save my heavy dirty soul?
For me, for me, oh
Can you save my heavy dirty soul?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit
Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit
Can you save, can you save my
Can you save my heavy dirty soul?
Can you save, can you save my
Can you save my heavy dirty soul?
For me, for me, oh
Can you save my heavy dirty soul?
For me, for me, oh
Can you save my heavy dirty soul?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Can you save, can you save my, save my

Is it cool if we play a few older ones for ya, yeah?
Your grandpa died when you were nine
They said he had lost his mind

You should never trust the pantaloon
You are tired, you are hurt
A moth ate through your favorite shirt
And all your friends fertilize the ground you walk

And I just cant hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
Cause Im twisted up, Im twisted up, inside my mind
Down in the forest, well sing a chorus
One that everybody knows
Hands held higher, well be on fire
Singing songs that nobody wrote
Down in the forest, well sing a chorus
One that everybody knows
Hands held higher, well be on fire
Singing songs that nobody wrote
Im standing in front of you
Im standing in front of you
Im trying to be so cool
Everything together trying to be so cool
Im standing in front of you
Oh, Im standing in front of you
Oh, Im trying to be so cool
Everything together trying to be so cool
Trying to be so cool, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Ill tell em
Why wont you let me go
Do I threaten all your plans?
Im insignificant
Please tell em
You have no plans for me
I will set my soul on fire
What have I become?
Ill tell em
Hello, we havent talked in quite some time
I know I havent been the best of sons
Hello, Ive been traveling in the deserts of my mind
And I havent found a drop
I tried desperately to run through the sand as I
Hold the water in the palm of my hand
Cause its all that I have and its all that I need and
The waves of the water mean nothing to me
But I tried my best and all that I can to
Hold tightly onto whats left in my hand
But no matter how, how tightly I will strain
The sand will slow me down and the water will drain
Im just being dramatic, in fact
Im only at it again as an addict with a pen
Whos addicted to the wind, as it blows me back and forth
Mindless, spineless, and pretend
Of course Ill be here again
See you tomorrow, but its the end of today
End of my ways as a walking denial
My trial was filed as a crazy, suicidal head case
But you specialize in dying, you hear me screaming, Father!
And Im lying here just crying, so wash me with your water
Were broken

Were broken people, oh, yeah
Were broken
Were broken
Were broken
Were broken people, oh
Were broken people, oh, one more time, lets sing it
Were broken
Were broken
Were broken
Were broken people, oh
Were broken people, oh, yeah |
Why
Do I kneel to these concepts
Tempted by control
Controlled by temptation
Temptation
Stay low they say
Stay low
They say, Stay in your lane, boy, lane, boy
But we go where we want to
They think this thing is a highway, highway
But will they be alive tomorrow?
They think this thing is a highway
If it was our way, we’d have a tempo change every other time change
Cause our mind’s changed on what we think is good
I wasn’t raised in the hood
But I know a thing or two about pain and darkness
If it wasn’t for this music I don’t know how I would have fought this
Regardless, all these songs I’m hearing are so heartless
Don’t trust a perfect person and don’t trust a song that’s flawless, honest
There’s a few songs on this record that feel common
I’m in constant confrontation with what I want and what is poppin
In the industry it seems to me that singles on the radio are currency
My creativity’s only free when I’m playing shows
They say, Stay in your lane, boy, lane, boy
But we go where we want to
They think this thing is a highway, highway
But will they be alive tomorrow?
I’m sorry if that question I asked last
Scared you a bit like a Hazmat, in a gas mask if you ask Zack
He’s my brother, he likes when I rap fast
But lets backtrack
Back to this
Who would you live and die for on that list?
But the problem is, there’s another list that exists and no one really wants to think about this
Forget sanity, forget salary, forget vanity, my morality
If you get in between someone I love and me
You’re gonna feel the heat of my cavalry
All these songs I’m hearing are so heartless
Sing
They say, Stay in your lane, boy, lane, boy
But we go where we want to
They think this thing is a highway, highway
But will they be alive tomorrow?
They say, Stay in your lane, boy, lane, boy
But we go where we want to
They think this thing is a highway, highway
But will they be alive tomorrow?
Give me both hands up
Put them down in front of you, and grab someones shoulders in front of you
And on the count of 3 youre going to bring them down to the ground and were going to get down as low as we can
Ready, 1
2
3
Get down low
Are you ready, are you ready lets go
1, 2, 3 GO
Woo
Woo
Jump
They say, Stay in your lane, boy, lane, boy
But we go where we want to
They think this thing is a highway, highway
But will they be alive tomorrow?
They say, Stay in your lane, boy, lane, boy
But we go where we want to
They think this thing is a highway, highway
But will they be alive tomorrow? |
Were here in Mexico city
Having a good time
Were here in Mexico city
Were making all these rhymes
Well eat some beans and rice and stuff and make it all so great
Well eat some tacos... Do you have Chipotle here?
Were here in Mexico city
Making all these tunes
Were here in Mexico city
We wish you were here too |
I wont take much of Your time
I just want You to see
What I have made inside these lines
Its as good as I can be
Its as good as I can be
This is all that I can be
This is all that I can be
All that I can be, oh
Head tilted down, knees on the ground
And I will ask, Please... Save!
Save me! Please, save, save!
Save, save, save, save, save, save
Save, save, save me, save me, save me, save me!
I deserve for You to turn away
I was ashamed to speak Your name
I cant believe that all You see is
That You have covered me gracefully
Youre all I want to be
Youre all I want to be
Youre all Ill ever need
Youre all Ill ever need
Jesus...
Please save me!
Please, save, save!
Save, save, save, save, save, save
Save, save, save me, save me, save me, save me!
I wont take much of your time
Just enough for You to save me |
The Lyrics dataset parsed from Genius. This dataset is designed to generate lyrics with HuggingArtists. Model is available here.

How to load this dataset directly with the datasets library:
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("huggingartists/twenty-one-pilots")
An example of 'train' looks as follows.
This example was too long and was cropped:
{
"text": "Look, I was gonna go easy on you\nNot to hurt your feelings\nBut I'm only going to get this one chance\nSomething's wrong, I can feel it..."
}
The data fields are the same among all splits.
text
: a string
feature.train | validation | test |
---|---|---|
197 | - | - |
'Train' can be easily divided into 'train' & 'validation' & 'test' with few lines of code:
from datasets import load_dataset, Dataset, DatasetDict
import numpy as np
datasets = load_dataset("huggingartists/twenty-one-pilots")
train_percentage = 0.9
validation_percentage = 0.07
test_percentage = 0.03
train, validation, test = np.split(datasets['train']['text'], [int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*train_percentage), int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*(train_percentage + validation_percentage))])
datasets = DatasetDict(
{
'train': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(train)}),
'validation': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(validation)}),
'test': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(test)})
}
)
