Ode to Sleep

Ode to Sleep - twenty one pilots

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 man's hair receding

I'm pleading please oh please on my knees repeatedly asking

Why it's got to be like this is this living free

I don't wanna be the one be the one who has the sun's blood on my hands

I'll tell the moon take this weapon forged in darkness

Some see a pen I see a harpoon

I'll stay awake cause the dark's not taking prisoners tonight

Why am I not scared in the morning I don't 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'll tell them why won't you let me go

Do I threaten all your plans I'm insignificant

Please tell them you have no plans for me

I will set my soul on fire what have I become

I'll tell them

On the eve of a day that's 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 don't need grace

On the eve of a day that is bigger than us

But we open our eyes cause we're told that we must

And the trees wave their arms and the clouds try to plead

Desperately yelling there's something we need

I'm not free I asked forgiveness three times

Same amount that I denied I three-time mvp'ed this crime

I'm afraid to tell you who I adore won't tell you who I'm sing towards

Metaphorically I'm a whore and that's denial number four

I'll stay awake cause the dark's not taking prisoners tonight

Why am I not scared in the morning I don't 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'll tell them why won't you let me go

Do I threaten all your plans I'm insignificant

Please tell them you have no plans for me

I will set my soul on fire what have I become

I'll tell them you have no plans for me

I will set my soul on fire what have I become

I'll tell them I'll tell them I'll tell them I'll tell them

Please tell them you have no plans for me

I will set my soul on fire what have I become

I'm sorry
