[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall a-
I don't wanna fall, fall away
I don't wanna fall, fall away
I'll keep the lights on in this place
'Cause I don't wanna fall

[Verse 1]
Every time I feel selfish ambition is takin' my vision
My crime is my sentence, repentance is takin' commission
It's takin' a toll on my soul, I'm screamin' submission and
I don't know if I am dyin' or livin'
'Cause I will save face for name's sake, abuse grace
Take aim to obtain a new name in a newer place
But my name is lame, I can't walk and I ain't the same
And my name became a new destiny to the grave

[Pre-Chorus]
And I, I can feel the pull begin
I feel my conscience wearing thin
And my skin, it will start
To break up and fall apart

[Chorus]
I don't wanna fall, fall away
I don't wanna fall, fall away
I'll keep the lights on in this place

[Verse 2]
I disguise and I will lie
And I will take my precious time
As the days melt away
As I stand in line, and I die as I wait as I wait on my crime
And I'll try to delay what you make of my life
But I don't want your way, I want mine
I'm dyin' and I'm tryin'
But believe me, I'm fine, but I'm lying
I'm so very far from fine

[Pre-Chorus]
And I, I can feel the pull begin
I feel my conscience wearing thin
And my skin, it will start
To break up and fall apart

[Chorus]
I don't wanna fall, fall away
I don't wanna fall, fall away
I'll keep the lights on in this place
'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall a-

[Chorus]
Oh, yeah
I don't wanna fall, fall away
I don't wanna fall, fall away
I'll keep the lights on in this pla-a-ace
'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall a-

[Outro]
Repeat after me
Oh, oh (Oh, oh)
Oh, oh (Oh, oh)
Oh, oh (Oh, oh)
Oh, oh (Oh, oh)
Oh, oh (Oh, oh)
Oh, oh (Oh, oh)

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.
