Migraine

• Twenty One Pilots

Am I the only one I know

Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?

Shadows will scream that I’m alone, lone, lone

I-I-I-I’ve got a migraine

And my pain will range from up, down, and sideways

Thank God it’s Friday ‘cause Fridays will always

Be better than Sundays ‘cause Sundays are my suicide days

I don’t know why they always seem so dismal

Thunderstorms, clouds, snow, and a slight drizzle

Whether it’s the weather or the letters by my bed

Sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head

Let it be said what the headache represents

It’s me defending in suspense, it’s me suspended in a defenseless test

Being tested by a ruthless examinant

That’s represented best by my depress ;

;ing thoughts

I do not have writer’s block, my writer just hates the clock

It will not let me sleep, I guess I’ll sleep when I’m dead

And sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head

Am I the only one I know

Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?

Shadows will scream that I’m alone

But I know we’ve made it this far, kid

I am not as fine as I seem, pardon

Me for yelling, I’m telling you green, gardens

Are not what’s growing in my psyche, it’s a different me

A difficult beast feasting on burnt down trees

Freeze frame please, let me paint a mental picture portrait

Something you won’t forget, it’s all about my forehead

And how it is a door that holds back contents

That make Pandora’s Box’s contents look nonviolent

Behind my eyelids are islands of violence

My mind’s shipwrecked, this is the only land my mind could

Find, I did not know it was such a violent island

Full of tidal waves, suicidal crazed lions

They’re trying to eat me, blood running down their chin

And I know that I can fight or I can let the lion win

I begin to assemble what weapons I can find

‘Cause sometimes to stay alive you got to kill your mind

And I will say that we should take a day to break away

From all the pain our brain has made

The game is not played alone

And I will say that we should take a moment and hold it

And keep it frozen and know that

Life has a hopeful undertone

Made it this far

Made it this
