[Verse 1]
Turn away if you could get me a drink
Of water 'cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my aunt Marie, help her gather all my things
And bury me in all my favorite colors
My sisters and my brothers, still, I will not kiss you
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you

[Chorus]
(My sisters and my brothers, still)
I will not kiss you (Kiss you) (Turn away)
Lips are chapped and faded, call my (Call my) (Turn away)
Lips are chapped and faded (Faded)
Kiss you (Kiss you) (Turn away)
Lips are chapped and faded, call my (Call my) (Turn away)
Lips are chapped and faded (Faded)

[Verse 2]
Turn away 'cause I'm awful just to see
And all my hairs abandoned all my body
All my agony know that I will never marry
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo
I'm counting down the days to go, this just ain't livin'
And I just hope you know

[Chorus]
I will not kiss you (Kiss you) (Turn away)
Lips are chapped and faded, call my (Call my) (Turn away)
Lips are chapped and faded (Faded)
Kiss you (Kiss you) (Turn away)
Lips are chapped and faded, call my (Call my) (Turn away)
Lips are chapped and faded (Faded)

[Bridge]
If you say (If you say)
Goodbye today (Goodbye today)
I'll ask you to be true (I'll ask you to be true)
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
Yes, the hardest part of this...

[Outro]
I will not kiss you (Kiss you, kiss you, kiss you)
Lips are chapped and faded
Call my (Call my, call my, call my, call my)
Lips are chapped and faded (Faded)
Kiss you (Kiss you, kiss you, kiss you)
Lips are chapped and faded
Call my (Call my, call my, call my, call my)
Lips are chapped and faded (Faded)

twenty one pilots (also stylized as twenty øne piløts, TWENTY ØNE PILØTS, twenty | one | pilots, and TØP) consists of vocalist, pianist, bassist, and ukulele player Tyler Joseph and his best friend Josh Dun, who plays the drums and trumpet. The band’s genre is difficult to define, but best described as indie pop, with elements of rap, hip hop and rock. Fans have proclaimed their own music genre as “Schizoid Pop.”

The name twenty one pilots was inspired by the Arthur Miller play, All My Sons, a play about a man whose choice to send out faulty airplane parts for the good of his business and family caused the death of twenty-one pilots during World War II. The aspect of the play which influenced the band is the moral decisions and consequences that come with everyday decisions. Thus, the band fights the constant battle between man and mental illness.

Basically, we are all responsible for the preservation of our personal joy; but happiness is different. Joy is not circumstantial, happiness is.
