twenty one pilots - Clancy Album Lyrics

Diese kleine peinliche Insel hat mich zu einer Waffe gemacht
Wir glauben beide
Cette petite "le étrange a fait de moi une arme
Nous croyons tous les deux que nous pouvons
L'utiliser pour changer l'élan de cette guerre

Esta pequeña isla espeluznante me ha convertido en un arma
Ambos creemos que podemos usarla para cambiar el impulso de esta guerra

Welcome back to Trench
Welcome back to Trench

I created this world
To feel some control
Destroy it if I want
So I sing Sahlo Folina
Sahlo Folina
(Wait, what? Wait, what?)
(Wait, what? Wait, what?)

Earned my stripes
Three hundred tracks in my Adidas track jacket
Bless your ear holes while you react
Actin' gobsmacked, don't hesitate to maybe overcompensate
I feel like I was just here, same twitchin' in my eyes
Don't sleep on a boy who can't fall asleep twice
In the same night and won't hesitate to overcompensate

I said I fly by the dangerous bend symbol (wait, what? Wait, what?)
Don't hesitate to maybe over compensate
And then by the time I catch in my peripheral (wait, what? Wait, what?)
Don't hesitate to maybe overcompensate

Where am I from? I was born right here, just now
Originated right in front of your eyes
If you can't see, I am Clancy
Prodigal son, done running, come up with Josh Dun
Wanted dead or alive
So now you pick who you serve
You bow to the masses
Get kicked to the curb
For passin' the classes
Half empty, half full, save half for your taxes
Then overtake your former self

I fly by the dangerous bend symbol (wait, what? Wait, what?)
Don't hesitate to maybe over compensate
And then by the time I catch in my peripheral (wait, what? Wait, what?)
Don't hesitate to maybe overcompensate

Days feel like a perfect length
I don't need them any longer
But for goodness sake
Do the years seem way too short for my soul, corazón
Way too short for my soul, corazón
Days feel like a perfect length
I don't need them any longer
But for goodness sake
Do the years seem way too short for my soul, corazón
Way too short for my soul, corazón

Earned my stripes
Three hundred tracks in my Adidas track jacket
Bless your ear holes while you react
Actin' gobsmacked, don't hesitate to maybe overcompensate

I said I fly by the dangerous bend symbol (wait, what? Wait, what?)
Don't hesitate to maybe over compensate
And then by the time I catch in my peripheral (wait, what? Wait, what?)
Don't hesitate to maybe overcompensate

Stand up straight now (ooh)
Can't break down (ooh)
Graduate now (ooh)
I don't wanna be here, I don't wanna be here
It's a taste test (ooh)
Of what I hate less (ooh)
Can you die of anxiousness? (Ooh)
I don't wanna be here, I don't wanna be here
What's about to happen? What's about to happen?

I remember
I remember certain things
What I was wearing
The yellow dashes in the street
I prayed those lights would take me home
Then I heard, "Hey, kid, get out of the road!"

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I don't wanna be here, I don't wanna be here

Can't feel my legs (ooh)
I might suffocate (ooh)
There's a pressure in my chest (ooh)
I don't wanna be here, I don't wanna be here
What's about to happen? What's about to happen?

I remember
I remember certain things
What I was wearin'
The yellow dashes in the street
I prayed those lights would take me home
Then I heard, "Hey, kid, get out of the road!"

(Oh, whoa, oh, oh-whoa)
(Oh, whoa, oh, oh-whoa, oh)
Can't change what you've done
Start fresh next semester

I remember
I remember certain things
What I was wearin'
The yellow dashes in the street
I prayed those lights would take me home
Then I heard, "Hey, kid, get out of the road!"

(Oh, whoa, oh, oh-whoa) And then he slowed down
(Oh, whoa, oh, oh-whoa, Oh) And rolled down his window
And he said
"Can't change what you've done
Start fresh next semester"

It's a taste test
Of what I hate less
I don't wanna be here
Start fresh with the new year
(Oh, ah, oh, oh-whoa)
(Oh, ah, oh, oh-whoa)
Can't change what you've done
Start fresh next semester

I don't wanna

Rat race, place to place, adding weight
Tendencies on repeat, innit?
Benefit from a shoe with no lace
Take the seat with the crease in it

I don't mind if it's lonely
I don't mind if it's fair
I don't care, you control me
Leading me anywhere

I don't wanna backslide to where I started from
There's no chance I will shake this again
'Cause I feel the pull, water's over my head
Strength enough for one more time
Reach my hand above the tide
I'll take anything you have
If you could throw me a line
I should've loved you better
Do you think that now's the time you should let go?
It's over my head

Bad place on a hundred-dollar bass
Kind of wishing that I never did Saturday
Is that a stain? You should change
Are you doing good? Did you solve all of your problems?
Thanks for asking, in a way but
Accidentally uncovered the new one yesterday
What happened to what I brushed under the rug
I used to be the champion of a world you can't see
Now I'm drowning in logistics

I don't wanna backslide to where I started from
There's no chance I will shake this again
'Cause I feel the pull, water's over my head
Strength enough for one more time
Reach my hand above the tide
I'll take anything you have
If you could throw me a line
I should've loved you better
Do you think that now's the time you should let go?

I don't mind if it's lonely (it's over my head)
I don't mind if it's fair (you should let go)
I don't care, you control me (it's over my head)
Leading me anywhere

I'll take anything you have
If you could throw me a line
I should've loved you better
Do you think that now's the time you should let go?
It's over my head
You should let go
It's over my head

I don't wanna backslide

Reaching out on my way home
You can be so cold, I'll try again
You make me sad and second-guess myself
You can be so cold

Reaching out on my way home
You can be so cold, I'll try again
You make me sad and second-guess myself
You can be so cold, Midwest Indigo

Running late so I didn't have the time
To scrape the frosted windshield
Like we're barely scraping by
Concentrate on the little gap in the ice
That seems to be about as wide as our chances

"Did you pull up yet?
Not yet
Did you forget we're tight on time?"

Reaching out on my way home
You can be so cold, I'll try again
You make me sad and second-guess myself
You can be so cold, Midwest Indigo

Cloud coverage matched my outfit to a knife
I requested counsel with the counselor
And he cancelled twice
It's a different blue, it's deeper than it's been
I'll be pulling into the parking lot before the heat kicks in

"What's your ETA?
Two minutes
Chill out, man, we're right on time"

Reaching out on my way home
You can be so cold, I'll try again
You make me sad and second-guess myself
You can be so cold, Midwest Indigo

And I want love and sunny days
I'm a bit too old to run away
You make me sad and second-guess myself
You can be so cold
You can be so cold
Midwest Indigo

Walk the layout, routines in the night
Some doors have "stay out" spray painted in white
While all the world's asleep, I walk around instead
Through the memories, down the halls of my head
Walk the layout, routines in the night
Some doors have "stay out" spray painted in white
While all the world's asleep, I walk around instead
Through the memories, down the halls of my head

Here comes a new night but I'll send it through
I'll probably jump on the next one
I'm testing the limits of what a mind can do
I'm keeping my eyelids up, no matter what

So beautiful, the space between
A painful reminder and a terrible dream
I've been here before and I've got time
I'll give you the tour, show you why I-

Walk the layout, routines in the night
Some doors have "stay out" spray painted in white
While all the world's asleep, I walk around instead
Through the memories, down the halls of my head

Reoccurring, keeps coming around
REM cycle skip, night psycho trip
It's reassuring you keep coming around
It's tough to find good company
Reoccurring, days blurring
I'm still learning what this is (what this is, what this is, what this is)
Just keep me company

So beautiful, the space between
A painful reminder and a terrible dream
I've been here before and I've got time
I'll give you the tour, show you why I-
I'll show you why I-
I'll show you why I-

Walk the layout (the layout), routines in the night (in the night)
Some doors have "stay out" (stay out) spray painted in white (in white)
While all the world's asleep (all the world's asleep), I walk around instead
Through the memories (through the memories), down the halls of my head
Walk the layout, routines in the night
Some doors have "stay out" spray painted in white
While all the world's asleep (all the world's asleep), I walk around instead
Through the memories, down the halls of my head

Not sure when it started
Peeling from his bones
Piece it back together all alone
Hope it held together long enough for he
To pitch the greener grasses and hope that she would agree
Fresh off a binger in the woods, flesh covered in bites
Testing what is real, what is good, man
It's been a long night

It's a tribute to zombies
Of which I've become
Where do I go from here?
Where do I go from here?

Clinging to promises
Fighting off the vignette
Tunnels cave, visions fade
Swallowed by the vignette

He's thinking, "There's no way I'm headed there"
Always sure footed, educated and was never scared
Now he can't hold out his hand without it shaking
Hounded by a bunch of dead when the search party found him
Fresh off a binger in the woods, flesh covered in bites
Testing what is real, what is good
Man, it's been a long night

It's a tribute to zombies
Of which I've become
Where do I go from here?
Where do I go from here?

Clinging to promises
Fighting off the vignette
Tunnels cave, visions fade
Swallowed by the vignette

No, not me, it's for a friend
No, no, not me, it's for a friend
No, not me, it's for a friend
No, no, not me, it's for a friend
Denial

Clinging to promises
Fighting off the vignette
Tunnels cave, visions fade
Swallowed by the vignette

No, not me, it's for a friend
No, no, not me, it's for a friend
No, not me, it's for a friend
No, no, not me, it's for a friend
Denial
No, not me, it's for a friend
No, no, not me, it's for a friend
No, not me, it's for a friend
No, no, not me, it's for a friend
Denial

Seems I get in my own way
The more I think, the less I say
I hope I communicate the craving
Now I see intentions don't mean much

Say enough, say enough
Did I let her know, let her know
If I found my body in chains
I'd lay down in wait
And hope she looks for me
And hope she looks for me

She just wants to catch a wave
Ride it off to the end of the days
I hope that I can satiate the craving
Now I see the gesture don't mean much

Say enough, say enough
Did I let her know, let her know
If I found my body in chains
I'd lay down in wait
And hope she looks for me
And hope she looks for me

Say enough, say enough
Did I let her know, let her know
If I found my body in chains
I'd lay down in wait

'Cause it's the fear of the unknown
That cripples every step we take
And I just hate to put this on her
But I swear that I will give more than I take away
Mm, the craving
Now I see intentions don't mean much

Welcome to the new way of living
It's just the beginning of lavish
Welcome to the new way of living
It's just the beginning of lavish
From the floor to the ceiling
Welcome to the style you haven't seen in a while
It's lavish

Try your best to look like this is not your first time
You're fighting for the front row, that's a nice try
You're looking real nice, smelling like worth
Walk in like you deserve it
And if your feet are hurting
Then that's when you know you brought the right equipment to put on a show
And let it flow, let it show, shine
Let it show, let it flow, shine

Welcome to the new way of living
It's just the beginning of lavish
From the floor to the ceiling
Welcome to the style you haven't seen in a while
It's lavish
It's lavish
It's lavish
(Welcome to the style you haven't seen in a while
It's lavish)

(One, two, listen, you know what)

Got that penny loafer squeak, 'cross linoleum
Big flex, complex, Napoleon
I say whatever and whatever that I want
Sip a Capri Sun like it's Dom Perignon
I'm talking tough happily with someone in front of me
Room on the payroll, everyone can live comfortably
I'm coming in hot, hot shot hypocrisy
NDA's for the folks that talk to me
So tell your friends that follow bots anonymous
Keep it cool, keep the mood androgynous
I see your problem is your proctologist
Got both hands on your shoulder while you're bottomless
It's lavish
It's lavish

Welcome to the style you haven't seen in a while
It's lavish
(Welcome to the style you haven't seen in a while
It's lavish)
It's lavish

Eh, oh
Eh, oh, eh oh
My, oh my
Don't know how long it's been

My, oh my
I can't seem to turn the page
This haze around my face
Makes me feel all alone
I know you see me standing still
When our fingers touch, I feel my way back home

Pardon my delay
I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head
Disassociate
I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head
Give me some advice
I am wasting all this time
My, oh my
Don't know how long it's been
My, oh my

How things change so rapidly
I find my self-esteem
Then turn so cold

Pardon my delay
I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head
Disassociate
I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head
Give me some advice (give me some advice)
I am wasting all this time (wasting)
My, oh my

Don't know how long it's been
Since I responded to your question
If you really wanna know what I'm thinking
Kind of feels like everybody leaves
Feeling the reality that everybody leaves
My dad just lost his mom, I think that everybody leaves
And I'm trying to hold onto you
'Cause everybody leaves

Pardon my delay
I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head
Disassociate
I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head
Give me some advice
I am wasting all this time
My, oh my

Pardon my delay
I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head
Disassociate
I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head
Give me some advice (give me some advice)
I am wasting all this time (wasting all this time)
My, oh my

Got a bad feeling that I'm about to break
Been a good streak, but the pressure's overweight
Is it even good, for my head to keep track?
If I'm gonna snap necks, then I gotta snap back
Got a bad feeling I'm gonna lose the lead
Running from a thing, that I kicked in '17
Is it even right, for my head to keep track?
If I'm gonna snap necks, then I gotta snap back

Have I burnt all the bridges?
Bite the hand that helps me
Give it finger stitches
Blacklisted from forgiveness
Fool you once, it's been twenty-five times

It's a backslide
I commandeered a hot ride
Drove it 'til the engine died
All of that progress lost today

Got a bad feeling that I'm about to break
Been a good streak, but the pressure's overweight
Is it even good, for my head to keep track?
If I'm gonna snap necks, then I gotta snap back
Got a bad feeling I'm gonna lose the lead
Running from a thing, that I kicked in '17
Is it even right, for my head to keep track?
If I'm gonna snap necks, then I gotta snap back

Oh, it's you
Well, welcome back to the show
(Been a minute)
Guess I better move to a fresher approach
(Thought I kicked it)
It's a new adaptation

It's a backslide
I hate the surprise
And now it's all gone
All of that progress lost today

I have seemed to run out of excuses
Of why I am this way

Got a bad feeling that I'm about to break
Been a good streak, but the pressure's overweight
Is it even good, for my head to keep track?
If I'm gonna snap necks, then I gotta snap back
Got a bad feeling I'm gonna lose the lead
Running from a thing, that I kicked in '17
Is it even right, for my head to keep track?
If I'm gonna snap necks, then I gotta snap back
(Then I gotta snap back)

I've been praying for my elasticity
To return to the way that it was
(If I'm gonna snap necks, then I gotta snap back)
I've been praying for my elasticity
To return to the way that it was
(If I'm gonna snap necks, then I gotta snap back)

Only consistency in your periphery
Is fear and the bridge of your nose
And as you move about
You learn to tune 'em out
But they say they continue to grow

Fear of the past and relative pain
Future's coming fast, you've got nothing in the tank
In a season of purging things you used to love
Everything must go, mm-hmm

Make an oath then make mistakes
Start a streak you're bound to break
When darkness rolls on you
Push on through
Push on through

Then before you know, you lose some people close
Forcing you to manage your pace
Found your capacity for love and tragedy
Embracing how things always change

You've had your turns with relative pain
Little less concerned when there's nothing in the tank
In a season of lessons learned in giving up
You learn what you can and can't take, mm-hmm

Add some years, build some trust
You start to feel your eyes adjust
When darkness rolls on you
Push on through
Push on through

You don't quite mind
You don't quite mind
You don't quite mind how long red lights are taking
(Push on through)
Your favorite song was on the oldies station
(Push on through)
You have it down
That old fight for survival
(Push on through)
You're in the crowd at her first dance recital
(Push on through)

Make an oath then make mistakes
Start a streak you're bound to break
When darkness rolls on you
Push on through

I don't want anyone, know me or not
See me at my lowest, you don't have to drop, drop, drop
Don't have to drop by, nothing you can do this time
I don't want anyone, know me or not
See me at my lowest, you don't have to drop
Drop, drop, drop anything for me
Just keep your plans, I hope that you never have to drop

Used to be you and me, matching Kawasaki Zs
Ride around 270 in Kawasaki tees
Two fighter jets matching energy
Trying to forget that we're in ejection seats

So please keep it in mind
Check on your friends
Every once in a while
Even if they say

I don't want anyone, know me or not
See me at my lowest, you don't have to drop, drop, drop
Don't have to drop by, nothing you can do this time
I don't want anyone, know me or not
See me at my lowest, you don't have to drop
Drop, drop, drop anything for me
Just keep your plans, I hope that you never have to drop

At the risk of feeling dumb, check in
It's not worth the risk of losing a friend
Even if they say
"Just keep your plans, I hope that you never have to drop"

If I'm being real, man, don't know how I feel, man
'Bout you sleeping so close to a weapon you conceal, man
Those night terrors are not something to take lightly
I know that it's a risk saying this, don't fight me
(Stopping me, fight me
Stopping me, fight me
Stopping me, fight me)

I don't want anyone, know me or not
See me at my lowest, you don't have to drop, drop, drop me
Don't have to drop by, nothing you can do this time
I don't want anyone, know me or not
See me at my lowest, you don't have to drop
(Drop me, drop, drop me, drop)
Anything for me
Just keep your plans, I hope that you never have to drop

At the risk of feeling dumb, check in
It's not worth the risk of losing a friend
Even if they say
"Just keep your plans, I hope that you never have to drop"

I don't want anyone, know me or not
See me at my lowest, you don't have to drop
Drop, drop, drop, anything for me

I can't be alone
Guess I never told you so
Making my way towards you
Tracing out a line
A route I've mapped a thousand times
Making my way towards you

I would swim the Paladin Strait
Without any floatation
Just a glimpse of visual aid
Of you on the other shoreline
Waiting, expectations
That I'm gonna make it
(Mhm-mhm)

Standing on the shore
Staring down a hurtling storm
Making it's way towards me
Water rips with rage
Endless row of angry waves
Making it's way towards me

I would swim the Paladin Strait
Without any floatation
Just a glimpse of visual aid
Of you on the other shoreline
Waiting, expectations
That I'm gonna make it
(Mhm-mhm)

Here's my chance, time to take it
Can't be sure that I'll make it
Even though I'm past the point of no return
I'm all in, I'm surrounded
Put my money where my mouth is
Even though I'm past the point of no return
Here's my chance, time to take it
Can't be sure that I'll make it
Even though I'm past the point of no return
I'm all in, I'm surrounded
Put my money where my mouth is
Even though I'm past the point of no return

I would swim the Paladin Strait
Without any floatation
Just a glimpse of visual aid
Of you on the other shoreline
Waiting, expectations
That I'm gonna make it
(Mhm-mhm)

On the ground are Banditos
Fighting while I find Nico
Even though I'm past the point of no return
Climb the top of the tower
"Show yourself," I yell louder
Even though I'm past the point of no ret-
So few, so proud, so emotional
Hello, Clancy
