Implicit Demand for Proof Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

I know You're 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

[Chorus]

Reign down and destroy me

Reign down (Reign down)

[Verse 2]

I mean no disrespect

I am simply very perplexed by Your ways

Why would You let us use Your name?

[Chorus]

Reign down and destroy me

[Outro]

Reign down (Down)

(Down, down, reign)

Fall Away Lyrics

[Chorus]

I don't wanna fall, fall away

I'll keep the lights on in this place

'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall a—way (La-da-da-da-da)

I don't wanna fall, fall a—way (La-da-da-da-da)

I don't, I don't wanna fall away (La-da-da-da-da)

I will keep the lights on in this place (La-da-da-da-da)

'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall away

[Verse 1]

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 I'll try to delay what you make of my life

But I don't want your way, I want mine

I'm dyin' and I'm tryin', but believe me, I'm fine

But I'm lyin', I'm so very far from fine

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

—way (La-da-da-da-da)

I don't wanna fall, fall away (La-da-da-da-da)

I will keep the lights on in this place (La-da-da-da-da)

'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall away

[Verse 2]

Every time I feel selfish ambition is takin' my vision

My crime is my sentence, repentance is taking commission

It's takin' a toll on my soul, I'm screaming submission and

I don't know if I am dying or living

'Cause I will save face for name's sake, abuse grace

Take aim to obtain a new name in a newer place

But my name is lame, I can't walk, and I ain't the same-a

And my name became a new destiny to the grave

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

—way (La-da-da-da-da)

I don't wanna fall, fall away (La-da-da-da-da)

I will keep the lights on in this place (La-da-da-da-da)

'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall away

[Outro]

La-da-da-da-da

The Pantaloon Lyrics

[Intro]

(Three, four)

[Verse 1]

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 it's 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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

He's 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

He's been around so long

He's 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 can't come soon enough

But is it too soon?

Either way he can't deny

He is a Pantaloon

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

You like to sleep alone

It's colder than you know

'Cause your skin is so

Used to colder bones

It's warmer in the morning

Than what it is at night

Your bones are held together

By your nightmares and your frights

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

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

Addict with a Pen Lyrics

[Chorus]

Hello, we haven't talked in quite some time

I know I haven't been the best of sons

Hello, I've been travelin' in the deserts of my mind

And I haven't found a drop of life

I haven't found a drop of You

I haven't found a drop

I haven't found a drop of water

[Refrain]

Water

[Verse]

I try desperately to run through the sand

As I hold the water in the palm of my hand

'Cause it's all that I have and it's 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 what's left in my hand

But no matter how, how tightly I will strain

The sand will slow me down and the water will drain

I'm just bein' dramatic, in fact, I'm only at it again

As an addict with a pen who's addicted to the wind

As it blows me back and forth, bindless, spineless, and pretend

Of course I'll be here again, see You tomorrow, but it's 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 dyin', You hear me screamin', "Father!"

And I'm lyin' here just cryin', so wash me with Your water

[Refrain]

Water

[Chorus]

Hello, I haven't talked in quite some time

I know I haven't been the best of sons

Hello, I've been travelin' in the deserts of my mind

And I, I haven't found a drop of life

I haven't found a drop of You

I haven't found a drop

I haven't found a drop of water

Friend, Please Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Friend, please remove your hands

From over your eyes for me

I know you want to leave

But friend, please don't take your life away from me

[Verse 2]

Living like a ghost, you walk by everyone you know

You say that you're fine, but you have lost your sway and glow

So I stopped by to let you know

[Chorus]

Friend, please remove your hands

From over your eyes for me

I know you want to leave

But friend, please don't take your life away from me

[Bridge]

Would you let me know your plans tonight?

'Cause I just won't 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

[Outro]

Friend, please remove your hands

From over your eyes for me

I know you want to leave

But friend, please don't take your life away from me

March to the Sea Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There's miles of land in front of us

And we're dying with every step we take

We're dying with every breath we make

And I'll fall in line

A stranger's back is all I see

He's only a few feet in front of me

And I'll look left and right sometimes

But I'll fall in line

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

"Follow me instead"

"Follow me"

[Verse 4]

Then the wages of war will start

Inside my head with my counterparts

And the emotionless marchers will chant the phrase

"This line's 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

[Chorus]

"Follow me instead"

"Follow me"

"Follow me instead"

[Verse 5]

Take me up, seal the door

I don't want to march here anymore

I realize that this line is dead

So I'll 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

Johnny Boy Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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 it's alright

It's alright

No one really knows his mind

And no one knows behind his eyes

The man deserves a medal

But he's never really won a prize before

He goes to lock the door

[Pre-Chorus]

He has fallen in love

He knows it's enough

But the world looks down and frowns

[Chorus]

Get up, Johnny Boy, get up, Johnny Boy

Get up, 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground

You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy

Get up, Johnny Boy, because we all need you now

We all need you now

[Verse 2]

Someone said, "Away you go!"

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 you're qualified

To fix a chair and love your wife

They all know you're qualified

But they lie when they blame it on the times

Oh, we blame it on the times

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, he has fallen in love

He knows it's enough

But the world looks down and frowns

[Chorus]

Get up, Johnny Boy, get up, Johnny Boy

Get up, 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground

You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy

Get up, Johnny Boy, because we all need you now

We all need you now

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

Get up, Johnny Boy, get up, Johnny Boy

Get up, 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground

You're my pride and joy, you're 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

You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy

Get up, Johnny Boy, because we all need you now

Oh, Ms. Believer Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Oh, Ms. Believer, my pretty sleeper

Your twisted mind is like snow on the road

Your shaking shoulders prove that it's colder

Inside your head than the winter of dead

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

We get colder as we grow older

We will walk so much slower

[Verse 3]

Oh, Ms. Believer, my pretty weeper

Your twisted thoughts are like snow on the rooftops

Please, take my hand, we're in foreign land

As we travel through snow, together we go

Together, we go

[Chorus]

We get colder as we grow older

We will walk so much slower

Air Catcher Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I don't fall slow like I used to, I fall straight down

You've stolen my air catcher that kept me safe and sound

My parachute's what got me safely to ground

But now my cord's not workin' and I see you staring me down

[Chorus]

I won't fall in love with fallin'

I will try to avoid those eyes, oh

[Verse 2]

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 wasn't much I lacked

But you've stolen my air catcher and I don't know if I want it back

[Chorus]

I won't fall in love with fallin'

I will try to avoid those eyes

'Cause I'm not sure I want to give you

Tools that can destroy my heart

[Bridge]

And I just don't say what you wanna hear

So I'll write my fears

And I don't believe in talkin' just to breathe

In fallin' selfishly

[Outro: Tyler Joseph, Nick Thomas & Chris Salih]

I won't fall in love with fallin'

I will try to avoid those eyes

But now I'm here to give you words as

Tools that can destroy my heart

Trapdoor Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

And he pretends he's okay, but you should see, oh

Him in bed late at night, he's petrified

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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 he's just watching the backs of his eyes

[Pre-Chorus]

He pretends he's okay, but you should see

Him in bed late at night, he's petrified

[Chorus]

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!

[Bridge]

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

'Cause nobody knows he's alive

A Car, A Torch, A Death Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

And I begin to envy the headlights driving south

I wanna 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

[Refrain]

For me to drive away with

I began to understand why God died

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

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

[Bridge]

And then I felt chills in my bones

The breath I saw was not my own

I knew my skin that wrapped my frame

Wasn't 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, "I'll 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

Wasn't 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, "I'll take the grave

Please, just send them all my way"

[Refrain]

I began to understand why God died

[Verse 4]

The air begins to feel a little thin

As we're 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

[Refrain]

For me to walk away with

I began to understand why God died

Taxi Cab Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Sometimes, we will die

And sometimes, we will fly away

Either way, you're by my side

Until my dyin' days

And if I'm not there and I'm far away

I said, "Don't be afraid"

I said, "Don't be afraid

We're goin' home"

[Verse 2]

I wanna strip myself of breath

A breathless piece of death I've made for you

A mortal rotting piece of song

Will help me carry on, but at least you heard

[Chorus]

Oh, sometimes, we will die

And sometimes, we will fly away

Either way, you're by my side

Until my dyin' days

And if I'm not there and I'm far away

I said, "Don't be afraid"

I said, "Don't be afraid

We're goin' home"

[Bridge]

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

(Okay)

So the hearse ran out of gas

The 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 planned 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 searchin' 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

"We're driving toward the morning, son

Where all your blood is washed away

And all you did will be undone"

[Outro]

I said, "Don't be afraid"

Oh, oh

Before You Start Your Day Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Open the slits in your face

And start your day

You don't have much time

To make your slits look just right

[Refrain]

I'm in your mind

I'm singin'

I'm in your mind

I'm singin'

La-da, la-da

La-da

La-da-da

[Verse 2]

Look in the mirror and ask your soul

If you're alright

Put on the glitter

That your soul hides behind

[Refrain]

You're in my mind

I'm singin'

You're in my mind

I'm singin'

La-da, la-da

La-da

La-da-da

[Bridge]

Know you were made holy

Open up your eyes and see

The clouds above will hold you

The clouds above will sing

[Outro]

And in your mind

You're singing

La-da, la-da

La-da

La-da-da

Isle of Flightless Birds Lyrics

[Intro]

(La, da, da, da)

(La, da, da, da, da)

(La, da, da, da, la, da, da, 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)

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

I am cold, can you hear?

I will fly with no hope, no fear

And the ground taunts my wings

Plummet as I sing

[Verse 1]

All we are is an isle of flightless birds

We find our worth in giving birth and stuff

We're 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, we're probably

More suicidal than ever now

If you decide to live by

What you think's wrong and what's right

Believe me, you'll begin to wish you were sleeping

Your weeping will creep in your head and you'll 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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

How frustrating and so degrading

His time, we're 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 can't sleep, uh, in the evening

And please don't be afraid of what your soul is really thinking

Your soul knows good and evil, your soul knows both sides

And it's time you pick your battle

And I promise you, this is mine

(I promise you, this is mine)
