Tyler Joseph - A Few Older Ones lyrics

[Verse 1: The Pantaloon] Your grandpa died When you were nine They said he had Lost his mind You have learned Way too soon You should never trust the pantaloon [Hook 1: The Pantaloon] You are tired You are hurt A moth ate through Your favorite shirt And all your friends fertilize The ground you walk Lose your mind [Chorus 1: Semi-Automatic] I'm never what I like I'm double-sided And I just can't hide I kinda like it When I make you cry Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up, inside my mind [Chorus 2: Forest] Down in the forest, we'll sing a chorus One that everybody knows Hands held higher, we'll be on fire Singing songs that nobody wrote [Chorus 2: Forest] Down in the forest, we'll sing a chorus One that everybody knows Hands held higher, we'll be on fire Singing songs that nobody wrote [Hook 2: Screen] I'm standing in front of You I'm standing in front of You I'm trying to be so cool Everything together trying to be so cool I'm standing in front of You I'm standing in front of You I'm trying to be so cool Everything together trying to be so cool (Trying to be so cool, yeah yeah, yeah yeah) [Chorus 3: Ode To Sleep] But I tell 'em Why won't you let me go Do I threaten all your plans? I'm insignificant Please tell 'em You have no plans for me I will set my soul on fire What have I become? I'll tell 'em [Verse 2: Addict With a Pen] Hello, we haven't talked in quite some time I know I haven't been the best of sons Hello, I've been traveling in the deserts of my mind And I haven't found a drop [Verse 3: Addict With a Pen] I tried desperately to run through the sand as I Hold the water in the palm of my hand Cause it's all that I have and it's all that I need and The waves of the water mean nothing to me But I tried my best and all that I can to Hold tightly onto what's left in my hand But no matter how, how tightly I will strain The sand will slow me down and the water will drain [Verse 4: Addict With a Pen] I'm just being dramatic In fact I'm only at it again As an addict with a pen Who's addicted to the wind As it blows me back and forth Mindless, spineless, and pretend Of course I'll be here again See you tomorrow But it's the end of today End of my ways As a walking denial My trial was filed As a crazy suicidal head case But you specialize in dying You hear me screaming "Father" And I'm lying here just crying So wash me with your water [Bridge: Screen] We're broken We're broken We're broken We're broken people, oh We're broken people, oh, yeah We're broken
