Trapdoor Lyrics
Twenty One Pilots
Lyrics
He wakes up early today
Throws on a mask that will alter his face
Nobody knows his real name
But now he just uses one he saw on a grave
He pretends he's okay but you should see
Oh, him in bed late at night, he's petrified
Take me out, finish this waste of a life
Everyone gather around for a show
Watch as this man disappears as we know
Do me a favor and try to ignore
As you watch him fall through a bleeding trapdoor
He thinks that faith might be dead
Nothing kills a man faster than his own head
He used to see dreams at night
But now he's just watching the backs of his eyes
He pretends he's okay but you should see
Him in bed late at night, he's petrified
Take me out, finish this waste of a life
Everyone one gather around for a show
Watch as this man disappears as we know
Do me a favor and try to ignore
As you watch him fall through a bleeding trapdoor
Take me out and finish this waste of a life
Everyone one gather around for a show
Watch as this man disappears as we know
Do me a favor and try to ignore
When you watch him fall through a bleeding trapdoor
Cause nobody know his life
