City Walls lyrics - Twenty One Pilots
Square up with me, I can take your right, throw a left
Pair up with me, I'ma take you right to the chest
Warpath etched in the surface
Lines of the yellow tape, they're moving quiet like a
Serpentine in a formation
Buddy, that's my team, pretty impatient
Now they're waiting on me
It might be the furthest we've reached
Now move it up, move it up, it's a breach
I wonder where you are
I wanted you to show me
The way around those city walls
The way on through
I wonder where you are
I wanted you to show me
But now the night has fallen
Abandoned by the sun
Square up with me, I can come to you, tell me when
Pair up with me, I can run on you, in the end
I write a promise in pencil, but my loyalty's in pen
Use a mistake as a crooked stencil, then we trace it back again
From the mainland to the island of violence
It was the same plan for a while, decided
To send me up and rip you outta your seat
You see, in a city with no entrance, there is not a retreat
I'm wondering what you thought would happen, who you thought I would be
Was this a sideswipe or did you picture this in a dream?
Buckle down, this is possibly the furthest we've reached
Now move it up, move it up, it's a breach
I wonder where you are
I wanted you to show me
The way around those city walls
The way on through
I wonder where you are
I wanted you to show me
But now the night has fallen
Abandoned by the sun
Abandoned by the sun
My smile wraps around my head, splitting it in
Two, two, two, two
I don't have a clue how I can keep the top half
Glued, glued, glued, glued
My smile wraps around my head, splitting it in
Two, two, two, two
I don't have a clue how I can keep the top half
Glued, glued, glued, glued
I wonder where you are
I wanted you to show me
Entertain my, entertain my
Entertain my, entertain my
Entertain my, entertain my
Entertain my, entertain my faith
This is the last time, this is the last time
Entertain my faith
This is the last time that I try
Address my soul, address my soul, address my soul
Entertain my faith
This is the last time that I try
RAWFEAR lyrics - Twenty One Pilots
Raw fear
Raw fear
Raw fear moves me, sounds of empty Uzis
Life is just forever nipping heels, never slowing down
Raw fear moves me, sounds of empty Uzis
Life is just forever gripping feels, never slowing down
You know what scares me? Nah, it's stupid
You've met my fears, they're all regulars
Wait, who's the new kid?
You know what kills me? Not getting stronger
And now I can't seem to sit still any longer
Raw fear moves me, sounds of empty Uzis
Life is just forever nipping heels, never slowing down
Raw fear moves me, sounds of empty Uzis
Life is just forever gripping feels, never slowing down
(I can't seem to sit still any longer)
Raw fear moves me, sounds of empty Uzis
Life is just forever gripping feels, never slowing down
(Never slowing down)
(Never slowing down)
(Never, never slowing down)
(Never slowing down)
(Never, never slowing down)
(Never slowing down)
(Never, never slowing down)
Learning all that really matters is a slow and painful lesson (Never slowing down, never slowing down)
It is not pass or fail, but a poisonous progression (Never slowing down, never slowing down)
Try to micro-dose to immunity but you'll never, ever get it (Never slowing down, never slowing down)
And I go, ah, ah, ah (Never slowing down)
"What's the matter?" isn't helping (Never slowing down)
You go, ooh, ooh, ooh (Never slowing down)
I wish her parents would stop yelling (Never slowing down)
I could build a tower with the times I was pretending (Never slowing down)
Try to micro-dose to immunity but I'll never see the ending (Never slowing down)
And I go, ah, ah, ah (Never slowing down)
"What's the matter?" isn't helping (Never slowing down)
You go, ooh, ooh, ooh (Never slowing down)
I wish her parents would stop yelling
You know what scares me? (Ah, ah, ah)
Nah, it's stupid
And you go, ooh, ooh, ooh
Wait, who's the new kid? (Never slowing down)
And you go, ah, ah, ah
Not getting stronger
And now I can't seem to sit still any longer
Raw fear moves me, sounds of empty Uzis (Ah, ah, ah)
Life is just forever nipping heels, never slowing down
Raw fear moves me, sounds of empty Uzis (Ah, ah, ah)
Life is just forever gripping feels, never slowing down
Raw fear moves me, sounds of empty Uzis (Ah, ah, ah)
Life is just forever nipping heels, never slowing down
Raw fear moves me, sounds of empty Uzis (Ah, ah, ah)
Life is just forever gripping feels, never slowing down
Drum Show lyrics - Twenty One Pilots
Putting on a drum show
(Ooh)
Completed checklist for today
Now they have to let you out of your cage
Feeling stuck between a rock and a home
Two places you do not want to go, so, so
He's putting on a drum show
Even now, even now, even now
He'll take the longer way home
Even now, even now, even now
He'll never, ever say so
He drives fast just to feel it, feel it
He drives slow if his song's not over
Drown it out, drown it out
Show
(Ooh)
He'd rather feel something than nothing at all
So he swerves all around as his head starts to fall
Turns it up
Stuck between a rock and a home
Two places he does not want to go, so, so
He's putting on a drum show
Even now, even now, even now
He'll take the longer way home
Even now, even now, even now
He'll never, ever say so
He drives fast just to feel it, feel it
He drives slow if his song's not over
Drown it out, drown it out
I've been this way
I want to change
I've been this way
I want to change!
He's putting on a drum show
Even now, even now, even now
He'll take the longer way home
Even now, even now, even now
He'll never, ever say so
He drives fast just to feel it, feel it
He drives slow if his song's not over
Drown it out, drown it out
I've been this way
I want to change
I've been this way
I want to...
Garbage lyrics - Twenty One Pilots
One, two
I feel like garbage
I feel like
My systems are operating at twenty percent
Or less
I'll walk you through the numbers
I'll show you nothing's left
Oh-oh
(Yeah, yeah) I'm biting down on my shirtsleeve
(Yeah, yeah) I'll lash out if you're in arm's reach
(Yeah, yeah) I'm so lost, like "What is happening?"
Like, like
I feel like garbage
Ooh, yeah
I can't decide
If I could feel more or I just knew less
When I was younger
Bright-eyed with wonder
Do you know which name it's under?
(Oh-oh-oh)
Or less
I'll walk you through the numbers
I'll show you nothing's left
Oh-oh
(Yeah, yeah) I'm biting down on my shirtsleeve
(Yeah, yeah) I'll lash out if you're in arm's reach
(Yeah, yeah) I'm so lost, like "What is happening?"
Like, "What is happening?"
Would you move closer if I grew quieter?
Maybe this is you
Maybe you don't fix and you like it like this
I feel like garbage (Yeah)
I feel like garbage
I feel like (Yeah)
Like
I'll lash out, lash out, lash out (Hey)
I'm biting down on my shirtsleeve
Like, I'll lash out, lash out, lash out
Don't give up on me
Don't give up on me
No, no, no, please, please, please
The Contract lyrics - Twenty One Pilots
I check the doors, check the windows and pull the blinds
I check the clock, wondering what he'll pull this time
I have a feeling that necromancer's outside
And I'm just tryin' to stay quiet
I don't sleep much, that's crazy, how'd you know that?
Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that
Ooh, promises and contracts I used to keep
I don't sleep much, that's crazy, how'd you know that?
Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that
Ooh, my hallucination I used to see
Wake up and I find out, did a change up
Wait, did it change up?
Is it light out yet? Better find out, bet
I'ma walk around the edge of the room and the bed
Where I hide my face, pace around
Better try to breathe, pace around, pace around
I check the doors, check the windows, and pull the blinds
I check the clock, wondering what he'll pull this time
I have a feeling that necromancer's outside
And I'm just tryin' to stay quiet
I don't sleep much, that's crazy, how'd you know that?
Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that
Ooh, promises and contracts I used to keep
I don't sleep much, that's crazy, how'd you know that?
Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that
Ooh, my hallucination I used to see
I used to see
Sleep, I found
I wanna get out there (Ooh-ooh)
But I don't try (Ooh-ooh)
I wanna get out there (Ooh-ooh)
But I don't try (Ooh-ooh)
I check the clock, wondering what he'll pull this time
I have a feeling that necromancer's outside
And I'm just tryin' to stay quiet
I don't sleep much, that's crazy, how'd you know that?
I keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that
Ooh, promises and contracts I used to keep
I don't sleep much, that's crazy, how'd you know that?
Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that
Ooh, my hallucination I used to see
I used to see
I used to see
Ooh, my hallucination I used to see
I used to see, it felt so real
But now I plead, just take the deal
I promised you a contract
I promised you a contract
Robot Voices lyrics - Twenty One Pilots
One, two, three, four
Three, four
One, two, three, four
They keep me company
The robots and machines in my room
An understanding
The beeps and tones they make
The only advice I take
The inside jokes are landing (The inside jokes are landing)
Now I'm waiting for the changes (Now I'm waitin' for the changes)
Everyone sees (Everyone sees)
Feeling so fancy (Feeling so fancy)
And I just wanna dance in style and stay a while (Wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna)
The lines on the floor (Lines on the floor)
How did you find me? (How did you find me?)
(Woo!)
I wasn't lookin' for love this year
But my robot told me that I shouldn't fear
When I met you, I found you safe and warm
Then the robot voices would reassure me
One, two, three, four
The half-drawn blinds
Casting lines on the floor
As my metal friend flashes in time
The daisy-chained power strips generating
A newfound loneliness
So, I'm waiting for the changes (Now I'm waitin' the changes)
Everyone sees (Everyone sees)
Feeling so fancy (Feeling so fancy!)
And I just wanna dance in style and stay a while (Wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna)
The lines on the floor (Lines on the floor)
How did you find me? (How did you find me?)
(Woo!)
I wasn't lookin' for love this year
But my robot told me that I shouldn't fear
When I met you, I found you safe and warm
Then the robot voices would reassure me
I wasn't lookin' for love this year (I wasn't looking)
But my robot told me that I shouldn't fear
When I met you, I found you safe and warm
Then the robot voices would reassure me (Oh, oh)
When I met you, I found you safe and warm
And the robot voices would reassure me
Downstairs lyrics - Twenty One Pilots
You can have all I've made and all I've ever known
You can have both my lungs if you ask me so
'Cause I-I-I want to be the one after your own heart
And I-I-I might doubt the process like I doubted the start
So I'm beggin', oh-oh-oh, mercy
I'm beggin', oh-oh-oh, mercy
Downstairs, I feel better in the cellar
Down there, it's some shelter from the weather
I wear all of my heart on my sleeve
I'll take what I believe, and I'm hiding it
Downstairs, I feel better in the cellar
Down there, it's some shelter from the weather
I wear all of my heart on my sleeve
I'll take what I believe, and I'm hiding it
Feeling like I'm nothing, feeling like I'm run down
Was afraid of nothing, now I'm just ashamed how
I hide my face from you
So I'm beggin', oh-oh-oh, mercy
I'm beggin', oh-oh-oh, mercy
Downstairs, I feel better in the cellar
Down there, it's some shelter from the weather
I wear all of my heart on my sleeve
I'll take what I believe, and I'm hiding it
Downstairs, I feel better in the cellar
Down there, it's some shelter from the weather
I wear all of my heart on my sleeve
I'll take what I believe, and I'm hiding it
Oh, what have I become?
Dirty and wretched one
Am I unholy land?
Have I forced your hand?
Oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, mercy, yeah
Oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, mercy, yeah
Down there, it's some shelter from the weather
I wear all of my heart on my sleeve
I'll take what I believe, and I'm hiding it
Downstairs, I feel better in the cellar
Down there, it's some shelter from the weather
I wear all of my heart on my sleeve
I'll take what I believe, and I'm hiding it
Downstairs (You can have), I feel better in the cellar (All I've made)
Down there, it's some shelter from the weather (All I've ever known)
I wear (You can have) all of my heart on my sleeve (Both my lungs)
I'll take what I believe, and I'm hiding it, yeah (If you ask me so, oh)
And I'm hiding it, yeah ('Cause I want to be the one)
And I'm hiding it, yeah (After your own heart)
And I'm hiding it, yeah, oh (And I might doubt the process like I doubt the start)
You can have all I've made and all I've ever known
You can have both my lungs if you ask me so
'Cause I want to be the one after your own heart
And I might doubt the process like I doubt the start
Center Mass lyrics - Twenty One Pilots
(Right)
I figured out how it sounded (Right this way)
It goes (Right)
My death (Right this way)
Girl, I really don't think you should take that
(Josh Dun, take that)
A little softer than I used to be (Right)
Used to mouth off often with artillery
Now it is cough drops and soft spots in a middle seat (Right this way)
Chivalry (Take that)
A tighter space than I used to know (Right)
Spread out wide no more, pinch my shoulders close
Hoping they misplace my reservation (Right this way)
Okay, okay
I thought you had it figured out
I know, I know
You said you made it to the top
I lied, I lied
So, tell us, how did you make out all right?
Well
I pull on my shirtsleeve to cover half of my hands
Bring my arms closer to my body, get as small as I can
They call it center mass, that part they aim for
Shrink it down to nothing and forgetting what the pain's for
I pull on my shirtsleeve (My shirtsleeve), to cover half of my face (Half of my face)
Bring my arms closer to my body, get as small as they say (Small as they say)
They call it center mass, that part they aim for (That's blasphemy)
Right this way if you're frustrated (Right)
Your first mate in the fifth grade tried to persuade
Try it once, he was shown on the bus (Right this way)
Chain's off my huff, anxious enough as it is (Right)
Gotta walk, never looking up once at the kids in the park
What a day, getting dark, what a day (Right this way)
Okay, okay
I thought you had it figured out (I thought you had it figured out)
I know, I know
You said you made it to the top (You said you made it to the top)
I lied, I lied
So, tell us, how did you make out all right?
Well
I pull on my shirtsleeve (My shirtsleeve), to cover half of my hands (Half of my hands)
Bring my arms closer to my body, get as small as I can (Small as I can)
They call it center mass, that part they aim for
Shrink it down to nothing and forgetting what the pain's for
I pull on my shirtsleeve (My shirtsleeve), to cover half of my face (Half of my face)
Bring my arms closer to my body, get as small as they say (Small as they say)
They call it center mass, that part they aim for
Shrink it down to nothing and forgetting what the pain's for
That part they aim for
Found out what I'm worth, I run to you
I hope you understand this run-on sentence
My tattoos only hurt when meaning fades
I think my skin got worse with good intentions
I don't wanna say what happened, I just wanna let it go
Nothing was the same right after I went to the funeral
I miss you so, so much, take what you want
Take what you want from me, took you for granted
They call it center mass, that part they aim for
That part they aim for (Josh Dun)
That part they aim for
That part they aim for
Cottonwood lyrics - Twenty One Pilots
Can't believe you're gone for good
Someone chopped you down
Thought you'd just fall in the woods
But she heard that sound
No, I don't, no, I don't remember
Last we spoke
No, I don't, no, I don't remember
Remember
Remember
Remember
I look back in time through a telescope
I've been catching my
I've been catching my
My reflection already looking
Most are blown down in a storm
But the wind was tame
You weren't waiting anymore
Were you sad or brave?
No I don't, no I don't condemn you
Back and forth
No I don't, no I don't condemn you
Condemn you
Condemn you
Condemn you
I look back in time through a telescope
I've been catching my
I've been catching my
My reflection already looking
You tore me up more than you know
You tore me up more than you know
You tore me up more than you know
You tore me up
I look back in time through a telescope
I've been catching my
I've been catching my
My reflection already looking
One Way lyrics - Twenty One Pilots
I wanted to fly
But they say a system's coming in
The chances are high
That this is a
One way, one way, one way, one way
Am I dreaming?
If it's so
Can I take back who I was before?
If it's no
Then all my dreams have
Not been interesting in a while
This has not been interesting in a while, while, while
I wanted to fly
But they say a system's coming in
The chances are high
That this is a
One way, one way, one way, one way, one way (Ooh)
Me and my scene just ain't gelling
Someone next to me keeps yelling
Why am I still walking?
Something must be wrong here
I just don't belong here
I wanted to fly
But they say a system's coming in
Chances are high
That this is a
One way, one way, one way, one way, one
I wanted to fly
But they say a system's coming in
The chances are high
That this is a
One way, one way, one
That this is a
One way, one way, one
That this is a
One way, one way
(This is a)
Hey it's Josh, call me back
Uh, I'm not opposed to "One Way" going into "Days Lie Dormant"
But it does feel like quite a vibe change
And, uhh
Days Lie Dormant lyrics - Twenty One Pilots
Ah
You say, "I should chase it"
I'll never say "No"
Too narrow and too tight
Somewhere you can't follow
You say with your face
Something else altogether
My days lie dormant
'Cause I just can't afford it
To waste time in a city
Where no one knows your name
My days lie dormant
'Cause I just can't afford it
To waste my time inside a place you're not
Don't make me waste my love
It's everything I've got
You say, "Don't worry 'bout me though
It looks so much warmer there"
And I should try Topo Chico
And get some more sun
But you say with your face
Something else altogether
My days lie dormant
'Cause I just can't afford it
To waste time in a city
Where no one knows your name
My days lie dormant
'Cause I just can't afford it
To waste my time inside a place you're not
Don't make me waste my love
It's everything I've got
My days lie dormant
Frozen and distorted
Robbed of my momentum
And suspended in the air
My days lie dormant
It's feeling less important
To waste my time inside a place you're not
Don't make me waste my love
It's everything I've got
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
My days lie dormant
'Cause I just can't afford it
To waste time in a city
Where no one knows your name
My days lie dormant
'Cause I just can't afford it
To waste my time inside a place you're not
Don't make me waste my love
It's everything I've got
Tally lyrics - Twenty One Pilots
I lost my rank and title
I turned my back on it
Sold it all at a discount (Yeah, yeah)
I wanted to progress things
I wanted my soul set free
Lost it all at a discount (Yeah, yeah)
You and I both know just how this story goes
We've seen it several times (Yeah, yeah)
It's kinda hard to know, is there a point at all?
Or should we cut the line?
You want a tally, I lost the count
You want to love me, I'll let you down
Still now, you believe in me somehow
When I replay it in my mind
I see your heart break every time
Still now, you believe in me somehow
You believe in me somehow
You believe in me somehow
I liken our fight to two lightning strikes strike on cue
Like right when a storm hits, sights set (Yeah, yeah)
Right set, circumstantial proof
You should go your way, I should try mine
Even though we both know
We should just cut the line (Yeah, yeah)
You want a tally, I lost the count
You want to love me, I'll let you down
Still now, you believe in me somehow
When I replay it in my mind
I see your heart break every time
Still now, you believe in me somehow
Somehow, somehow (Ooh, ooh)
You believe in me somehow
Ooh
Ooh, somehow I figured you were keeping track of every time
Just figured you were keeping track of every time
I let you down, I breached your trust, I let you die
Just figured you were keeping track of every time
You were keeping track
You want a tally, I lost the count (You want a tally)
You want to love me (You want to love me), I'll let you down
Still now (Still now), you believe in me somehow (You believe in me somehow)
When I replay it in my mind (When I replay it)
I see your heart break every time (I see your heart break)
Still now (Still now), you believe in me somehow
Yeah, yeah
Intentions lyrics - Twenty One Pilots
I am starting it all over once again
Did I learn a thing?
(Hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoO)
Intentions are everything
(Hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoO)
Intentions will set you free
You will fail most every day and every way
Did you learn a thing?
(Hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoO)
Intentions lack memory
(Hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoO)
Intentions will set you free
Just try to be
Drag Path lyrics - Twenty One Pilots
When I see the devil's eyes
I'll look away and smile wide
You found me
Then I'll know you're also there
'Cause proof is in the adversere
You found me
A drag path etched in the surface
As evidence I left there on purpose
A sad sack, laying on the surface (Yeah)
Can you find me?
When I see the devil's eyes
A current travels down my spine
You found me
A drag path etched in the surface
As evidence I left there on purpose
A sad sack, laying on the surface (Yeah)
Can you find me?
I dug my heels into the gravel
As evidence for you to unravel
A drag path, etched in the surface (Yeah)
Can you find me?
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
Can you, can you, can you, can you?
A drag path, etched in the surface
As evidence I left there on purpose
A sad sack, laying on the surface
Can you find me? (Can you, can you find me?)
I dug my heels into the gravel
As evidence for you to unravel
A drag path, etched in the surface
Can you find me?
Can you find me? (Can you find me?)
Can you find me? (Can you find me?)
Can you find me? (Can you find me?)
Can you find me? (Can you find me?)
