[Intro: Tyler Joseph]
La, la, da, da
La, la, da, da, da
La, la, da, da
La, la, da, da
La, la, da, da
La, la, da, da, da
La, la, da, da
La, la, da
[Verse 1: Tyler Joseph]
We all are stranger creatures than when we all started out as kids
Culture forbids
We have romantic fantasies about what dying truly is
Fall off the grid
[Pre-Chorus: Tyler Joseph]
We live for the night's decor
It reveals what we dream of
[Chorus: Tyler Joseph]
I know there's someone at the door
They called for help, of this I'm sure
But do I want to say goodbye
To all the glowing eyes?
I'm holding on to what I know
And what I know, I must let go
But I would rather play a song
For the eyes to sing along
The eyes to sing along, long, long
[Interlude: Tyler Joseph, James Truslow & Both]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2: Tyler Joseph & James Truslow]
We all know somebody who knows somebody who's doing great
I know some people who know people who are flying straight
But I'll kindly enter into rooms of depression
While ceiling fans and idle hands will take my life again
[Pre-Chorus: Tyler Joseph]
We live for the night's decor
It reveals what we dream of
[Chorus: Tyler Joseph]
I know there's someone at the door
They called for help, of this I'm sure
But do I want to say goodbye
To all the glowing eyes?
I'm holding on to what I know
And what I know, I must let go
But I would rather play a song
For the eyes to sing along
[Bridge: Tyler Joseph with James Truslow]
This room is far too dark for us to stay around
Redemption's not that far, and darkness is going down
This room is far too dark, for us to stay around
Redemption's not that far, and darkness is going down
La, la, da, da
La, la, da, da, da
La, la, da, da
La, la, da, da
La, la, da, da
La, la, da, da, da
La, la, da, da
La, la, da
[Chorus: Tyler Joseph]
I'm holding on to what I know
And what I know, I must let go
But I would rather play a song
For the eyes to sing along
[Outro: Tyler Joseph]
Their eyes will sing along, long, long
Make them stop
Make them stop
Make them stop
Make them stop
Make them stop
La, la, da, da
La, la, da, da, da
La, la, da, da
La, la, da, da
La, la, da, da
La, la, da, da, da
La, la, da, da
La, la, da
