[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 the cord's not working and I see you staring me down

[Chorus]
I won't fall in love with falling
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 falling
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 talking just to breathe (Believe, just to breathe)
And falling selfishly (Selfishly)

[Outro: Tyler Joseph, Nick Thomas & Chris Salih]
I won't fall in love with falling
I will try to avoid those eyes
But now I'm here to give you words as
Tools that can destroy my heart

​twenty one pilots

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.
