Song break: Fake you out – TOP

I have no words lately.  Or, I have limited words lately.  Music has given me words when I have none. Right now – this song is a good example of that.  As usual – it’s from Twenty One Pilots.  I’ve probably said this before, I’ll probably say it again, I think Tyler Joseph’s lyrics are like breadcrumbs for a whole new generation.  I appreciate his words often….and love how much hope I feel in them.

Two main phrases I love from this song:

“I am quiet now……
And silence gives you space”

“Our brains are sick but that’s okay!!!”

Fake You Out

Twenty One Pilots
I want to drive away
In the night, headlights call my name
I, I’ll never be, be what you see inside
You say I’m not alone, but I am petrified
You say that you are close, is close the closest star?
You just feel twice as far, you just feel twice as far
And I’ll fall
And I’ll break
And I’ll fake
All I wanna
And I’ll fall down
And I’ll break down
And I’ll fake you out
All I wanna
I’m so afraid
Of what you have to say
‘Cause I am quiet now
And silence gives you space
I’ll never be, be what you see inside
You say I’m not alone, but I am petrified
You say that you are close, is close the closest star?
You just feel twice as far, you just feel twice as far
And I’ll fall
And I’ll break
And I’ll fake
All I wanna
And I’ll fall down
And I’ll break down
And I’ll fake you out
All I wanna

It’s the same game today as it always is
I don’t give these places fake my name explaining this
And the wrists of my mind have the bleeding lines
That remind me of all the times
I have committed
Dirty dirty crimes that are perfectly form-fitted
To what I’ve done and what I’m doing
I’m brewing and losing and spewing infusing
And believe me that’s what all the kids are doing

What kids are doing are killing themselves
They feel they have no control of their prisoner’s cell
And if you’re one of them then you’re one of me
And you would do almost anything just to feel free
Am I right, of course I am
Convince me otherwise would take all night
Before you walk away, there’s one more thing I want to say
Our brains are sick but that’s okay!!!

I’ll fake you out
I’ll fake you out
And I’ll break down
I’ll fake you out
And I’ll fall
And I’ll break
And I’ll fake
All I wanna
I’ll fake you out
I’ll fake you out
I’ll fake you out
And I’ll break down
All I wanna
Yeah, and I’ll fall down
And I’ll break down
And I’ll fake you out
All I wanna

I’m so afraid
Of what you have to say
‘Cause I am quiet now
And silence gives you space
