Ode to Sleep Lyrics - Twenty One Pilots


1 I wake up fine and dandy

2 But then by the time I find it handy

3 To rip my heart apart and start

4 Planning my crash landing

5 I go up, up, up, up

6 Up to the ceiling

7 Then I feel my soul start leaving

8 Like an old man's hair receding


9 I'm pleading please, oh please

10 On my knees repeatedly asking

11 Why it's got to be like this?

12 Is this living free?

13 I don't want to be the one, be the one

14 Who has the sun's blood on my hands, I'll tell the moon

15 Take this weapon forged in darkness

16 Some see a pen, I see a harpoon


17 I'll stay awake

18 'Cause the dark's not taking prisoners tonight


19 Why am I not scared in the morning?

20 I don't hear those voices calling

21 I must've kicked them out

22 I must've kicked them out


23 I swear I heard demons yelling

24 Those crazy words they were spelling

25 They told me I was gone

26 They told me I was gone


27 But I'll tell them

28 Why won't you let me go?

29 Do I threaten all your plans?

30 I'm insignificant

31 Please tell them

32 You have no plans for me

33 I will set my soul on fire

34 What have I become?

35 I'll tell them


36 On the eve of a day

37 That's forgotten and fake

38 As the trees, they await

39 And clouds anticipate

40 The start of a day

41 When we put on our face

42 A mask that portrays

43 That we don't need grace


44 On the eve of a day

45 That is bigger than us

46 But we open our eyes

47 'Cause we're told that we must

48 And the trees wave their arms

49 And the clouds try to plead

50 Desperately yelling

51 There's something we need


52 I'm not free

53 I asked forgiveness three times

54 Same amount that I denied

55 I three-time mvp'ed this crime

56 I'm afraid to tell you who I adore

57 Won't tell you what I'm sing towards

58 Metaphorically, I'm a whore

59 And that's denial number four


60 I'll stay awake

61 'Cause the dark's not taking prisoners tonight


62 Why am I not scared in the morning?

63 I don't hear those voices calling

64 I must've kicked them out

65 I must've kicked them out


66 I swear I heard demons yelling

67 Those crazy words they were spelling

68 They told me I was gone

69 They told me I was gone


70 But I'll tell them

71 Why won't you let me go?

72 Do I threaten all your plans?

73 I'm insignificant

74 Please tell them

75 You have no plans for me

76 I will set my soul on fire

77 What have I become?

78 I'll tell them


79 You have no plans for me

80 I will set my soul on fire

81 What have I become?

82 I'll tell them

83 I'll tell them

84 I'll tell them

85 I'll tell them


86 Please tell them

87 You have no plans for me

88 I will set my soul on fire

89 What have I become?

90 I'm sorry
