[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

[Verse 2]
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 3]
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

​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.
