The most beautiful thing
I've ever seen
was a room full of mutant kids,
putting our hopes in our fists,
our souls set on fire
as we hold our hands higher.
There's no poem that is worthy enough of what I saw at a Twenty One Pilots concert last night. It was such a great experience, and I'm so glad I got to go. And it truly was gorgeous, seeing a whole arena full of people who are going through the simular stuff. When I woke up this morning, I severely missed that concert, that enviorment, the feeling of unity around all these kids, and the truth and deep meanings in Twenty One Pilot's performance

thank you for lyrics that help us understand what it is we're going through, and thank you for giving us words so we know how to fight it

I'm afraid of my voice
Of what it may sound like
I'm scared to death of what you'll think
Because it could be the death of me
I must take it slowly
Or I'll lose it

I don't want to write about rootless things, that'd just be tending to the heatless fire
I want to write words that will inspire
But I feel like I'm not accomplishing what I desire
Oh Lord, take me higher

I use to feed on emotion
as if there was a stomach inside my brain.
I would chew on dark thoughts,
feasting on the thought that I'm insane.

But now I find on source of energy elsewhere,
on something that is set apart.
I feed on the joy in community and discipleship,
as if there is a stomach in my heart.

her
I wonder if it's her,
because I know God works in mysterious ways.

You are tired. You are bruised.
Straing into neon lights,
your world is blurred and so confused.
Don't give into these neon lamps.
They hype your emotions
and make your dark seem vamped.
They seem to inspire,
luring you in with a heatless light,
beguiling you into these things you don't desire.
My friend, you know both sides.
You know whose you are,
the silence is just intensified.
So raise your hands up even higher,
to the One who puts the power in our soul,
and leave behind this freezing fire.
Whether it's the easy or the hard way, it's time
to decide which side of the battle you'll fight,
and I promise you, friend, the hard is mine.
Keep fighting
