Em
I wake up fine and dandy but then by the time I find it handy
To rip my heart apart and start
Planning my crash landingC
I go up, up, up, up, up to the ceiling
Then I feel my soul start leaving
Like an old man's hair recedingEm
I'm pleading, please, oh please
On my knees repeatedly asking
Why it's got to be like this
Is this living free?C
I don't wanna be the one be the one to have the sun's blood on my hands
I'll tell the moon
Take this weapon, forged in darkness
Some see a pen, I see harpoonEm

Em
On the eve of a day that's forgotten and fake
As the trees, they await, and clouds anticipate
The start of a day when we put on our faceA mask that portrays that we don't need grace
C
On the eve of a day that is bigger than us
But we open our eyes, cause we're told that we must
And the trees wave their arms and the clouds try to plead
Desperately yelling, there's something we needEm
I'm not free, I asked forgiveness three times
Same amount that I denied, I three-time MVP'd this crimeC
I'm afraid to tell you who I adore
Won't tell you who I'm singing towards
Metaphorically, I'm a whore, and that's denial number fourEm

About this song: Ode To Sleep
“Ode to Sleep” seems to represent night and day as both the instrumentation and the lyrics seesaw back and forth between the light and the dark. The verses are riddled with a dark tone full of conflict, similarly to how Tyler describes his nights. The pre-chorus, chorus, and outro all share a light-hearted tone in which Tyler sings about conquering the night and the depression it invokes.“Ode to Sleep” is Tyler Joseph’s favorite song to perform live, even after releasing Blurryface and touring extensively.
