FEEL FREE TO CHANGE PRONOUNS/NAMES/PHRASING AS YOU SEE FIT

The Rockrose and the Thistle

“I know the kindest thing is to leave you alone”


“I've run out of my words, my song Just let me die”

“I could try to calm you down but I know you won’t”


“All the pins inside your fretted head and your muttered whens and hows, All your mother's weaves and your father's threads, Let me rob them of you now”


“I'll darn you back together when you think that you're bereft”


“I know the kindest thing- I pray to god it's the kindest thing- I know the kindest thing is to never leave you alone”


The Horror and the Wild

“You were raised by wolves and voices, every night I hear them howling deep beneath your bed”


“You are that space that’s in between every page, every chord and every screen”


“You are the driftwood and the rift, you’re the words that I promise I don’t mean”


“All the stones and kings of old will hear us screaming at the cold”


“Give me back my heart you wingless thing”


“Witness me, old man, I am the Wild”


“Fret not dear heart, let not them hear the mutterings of all your fears, the fluttering of all your wings”


“Welcome to the storm, I am thunder”


Wild Blue Yonder

“Without you, I’m stronger, I’m no longer filled with wonder”


“You told me I was younger, that I was filled with wonder. How wrong you were”


“For you, my lungs were pulled asunder”


“So one last time, love, come and rip my clothes off”


“Let’s wander, till the fuckers demand an encore”


“Hold me, lover, like you used to. So tight I’d bruise you”


“I surrender what was, what could have been”


“Don't you ever wonder, what could have been?”


“Come rest for the winter, wear my jumper all night long”


“Every brick you hurled, I’ll use to build this world”


Welly Boots

“What do you mean you’ve lost your scarlet welly boots, do y’know what they cost?”


“Wear a raincoat or it’ll soak you to the bone”


“Don’t you know that I’ll be with you all along, as long as you are kind”


“When it’s cold I’ll wrap my scarf around you”


“I swear, just because I left doesn’t mean that I’m not still there”


“I get to watch you grow up now and make me proud, make all of those mistakes that make me laugh- Oh darling lord, how you make me laugh”


“Get drunk for me, sing louder than you’ve sung for me, grow young each time that thunder in your lungs begins to rumble at the world”


“You were always strong, When you were young, you’d kick things just to see if they would fall”


“You were supposed to be my light and keep me safe against them all. How could you leave me here?”


“I know you’re strong enough to do this on your own”


“I’ve been so scared you left me here behind, do you not care?”


“How the fuck am I supposed to carry on without you here?”


Farewell Wanderlust

“You look like I need a drink”


“I’m the hardest goodbye that you’ll ever have to say”


“I promise you I’ll be better, I promise you I’ll try but like rubbing wine stains into rugs, it’s my curse to try and make it right, but by trying make it worse”


“I’m the heartbreak that aches far too much to be shunned all those letters unsent and that garden ungrown”


“So long to the person you begged me to be. She’s down, she’s dead”


“Might you allow me to slip into something more comfortable then?”


“Our gods have abandoned us, left us, instead take up arms, take my hand, let us waltz for the dead”


“I promise you I’m not broken, I promise you there’s more, more to come, more to reach for, more to hurl at the door”


“Goodbye to all my darkness, there’s nothing here but light adieu to all the faceless things that sleep with me at night”


“Now take a good long look at what you’ve done to me?”


Fair

 “It's what my heart just yearns to say in ways that can't be said”


“Cause outwardly, I try so hard to make you laugh at me"


"Oh, darling, please be mine"


“He curses at the world for leaving him behind, and he's falling out of touch”


“It's not fair, it’s not fair how much I love you. It’s not fair, 'cause you make me laugh when I'm actually really fucking cross at you for something”


“Oh, how, oh, how unreasonable- How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do”

“I spend my days so close to you 'cause if I'm standing here, maybe everyone will think I'm alright"


“I know exactly what I want and it's this life that we've created”


“If you asked me to, if you asked me, I would lose it all like petals in a storm”


“Darling I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades at night when light is fading”


“Dear heart, it's me, it's me- you don't need to pretend to be someone you’re not 'Cause it's not like I've never heard you fart and snore”


“I'm still here, love, like I've always been before”


“It's not fair, it's not fair how much I love you”


“Oh how, oh how unreasonable- How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do I'll spend my days so close to you 'cause if I'm standing here, Maybe everyone will think I'm cool”


“It's not fair, it's not fair how much I love you- It's not fair 'cause you make me ache, you bastard”


“Where have you been? I've waited oh so long for you to come”


The Unwanted Animal

“There’s a second wind coming as we lie here in our bed. It rattles the bones of our fathers carries whispers from the dead”


“You try so loud to love me I cannot seem to hear”


“If we join our hands in prayer enough to God I imagine it all starts to sound like applause”


“Place your hand in mine, How long can this last?”


“Well hello, my hollow Holofernes”


Marbles

“I chipped my teeth on every joke you cracked”


“You couldn’t lie then and you sure as hell can’t lie to me now”


“You stole the best years of my life”


“I will wait and hope and rest my head at night content knowing where my marbles went”


“Oh, if one more guy calls me darling then I swear to you and to god I will murder them all”


“You’re not flawed darling, you’re just a little under-rehearsed”


“I don’t know, but I’m here, I’m all yours, dear heart don’t cry”


“I’ve loved you, for a hundred years, Certainly fucking feels like it”


“The minute I met you, the colors of my life began to pour”


Battle Cries

“That drink, will it fix all those questions unasked?”


“Who’ll save you when you fall?”


“Who died and made you king of it all?”


“Tell the truth to me, love, does my hair look as nice as it did when it once tangled up in your eyes?”


“I’m done with your dreams, they won’t last”


“I feel hunger at last for the person 15-year-old me would be proud to have known”


“Place your smile in mine”


“But that breathing you hear, don't mistake it for sighs Don’t you realize? They’re just battle cries, dear”


“And these lines aren’t wrinkles, dearheart they’re just dollops of paint on a new work of art”


“With you, I could summon the gods and the stars, Watch them dance out the plays that we wrote from the heart”


“I won't leave without a fight”


“I’m going to binge watch a box set, drink wine, reminisce! This isn’t a break up, dear heart, it’s a season finale”

+++++++++

part 1 part 2

tour is over, its been about two months since it ended. you all are finally back to your own places in LA and youve been back and forth with izzy ever since, spending much more time with him as well as all the gnr guys. the aftermath finally caught up with you though.

song: forgive me mother by the relentless

tag list: @cynic-spirit @satans-arse

"hey mike can i ask you a question?"

i looked over at duff who wasnt really paying attention. i was hoping if i used his real name he would understand i had something important to say. it didnt. he kept moving his fingers against his bass, strumming it and nodding his head back and forth.

"mikey?"

i asked again but still nothing.

"Micheal!"

i practically yelled and he looked up at me shocked.

"jeez y/n cant you see im busy? what?"

i huffed and crossed my arms over my chest, sinking further into the couch.

"i have a question."

he looked over at me like 'really?'

"okay?"

he said unamused.

"do you think im a good person?"

i said a little shy. he drew his brows together before setting his bass down.

"of course, youre like a sister to me."

he said and i shook my head.

"thats not what i meant."

he looked at me a little concerned.

"wheres all this coming from?"

he asked, sitting back and really looking at me. i shrugged.

"i have a secret that i really want to tell you but im scared."

he placed his hand gently on my thigh, squeezing it.

"you know you can talk to me about anything but if its to much you dont have to."

i nodded.

"duffy i-"

i closed my eyes and inhaled deeply. then the front door swung open, snatching my attention. iz and axl both walked in, izzy sending me a weird look noticing duffs hand still on my leg. they both walked down the hallway away from us.

"ill tell you later."

i said, standing and walking to the kitchen.

"okay."

he said softly, watching me leave. i stepped behind the wall for a second and took a deep breath, hearing him strum his bass again. if i couldnt even tell duff, how the hell was i supposed to talk to izzy about this. i walked slowly to the fridge and looked in it, frowning.

"god, do we have anything here other than alcohol?"

i complained, slamming the door shut.

"its never been a problem before."

izzy said sternly, making me jump as he watched me from across the room sipping his beer. i hadnt really noticed him there when i walked in and was wondering if he had really been there that long. i could have swore he went to the back room with axl. i shook my head of the thought and sat down at the table.

"maybe i want something different for once. is that a problem?"

i asked, picking at the doily under the napkin holder. he shrugged and sat across from me, crossing one leg over the other.

"i guess not."

he kind of snapped back. i frowned at him.

"you okay iz?"

he seemed a little off but then again maybe i was just projecting my own feelings onto him.

"yeah im great, why do you ask?"

he said a little coldly and i drew my brows, looking down at the table. i knew we were a secret and all but he didnt have to be mean about it. hed never been like this with me before.

"i dont know, you just seem a little mad."

i said softly, not wanting to actually anger him. he took a long sip of his beer.

"nope just ready to be alone i guess."

he sent me a knowing look and i immediately knew what he wanted. part of me wanted it to but i had more pressing matters to attend to. besides, duff and ax where still here and we wouldnt be able to get away with much, specially not the way he made me scream the last few times.

"alone doesnt sound like a bad idea."

i said back, noting the glimmer of hope in his eyes as he smirked at me, taking another drink.

"hey, slash called and we're gonna meet him and steven to eat, you two coming?"

duff said, poking his head into the kitchen.

"uh no im good, im not hungry."

i said looking over at him and he nodded.

"how bout you iz?"

he side nodded.

"no, ill stay here with y/n, we can go grab something later."

duff nodded once.

"okay."

he said disappearing behind the wall again. i thought for a second before standing and walking to the doorway, watching him and axl leave, waving goodbye before he closed the door. then i felt a looming behind me and it didnt take long for his hands to find their way to my hips.

"so, alone time..."

he said softly, leaning down and nuzzling his nose into my neck. i sighed out as he began kissing there, his thumbs rubbing circles into my sides. then, without warning he spun me around and connected our lips, kissing me deeply. i wrapped my one arm around his shoulders before remembering what i really needed to do and pushed him away.

"wait."

i breathed and he moved in for another kiss.

"i said wait."

i smiled at him, free hand firmly against his chest.

"c'mon, i missed you."

he protested kissing my cheek a few times, slowly moving to my neck.

"i have something to tell you first."

he hummed against me, his hands making their way to my ass and sliding into my back jean pockets. my eyes went wide as he looked at me a little confused, pulling what was in there out. my heart rate increased as he looked down at it with his brows furrowed.

"surprise?"

i said carefully, trying to study him. he just stared at it for a second, not letting me go.

"wait, y/n what is this?"

he looked up at me. i cleared my throat, feeling his hand remove itself from my waist as he held the picture with both hands now.

"what does it look like?"

he looked down at it again then back up at me and his face fell.

"this isnt what i think it is right? you arent?"

i scratched the back of my neck nervously.

"it is, and i am."

his mouth opened and closed a few times like a fish. his hand found its way into his hair, his eyes getting wide as he stumbled back.

"wait."

he said shaking his head.

"i need to process this for a second."

i sent him an odd look.

"izzy are you okay?"

he shook his head no and went back to the table, sitting down and staring at the photo.

"youre... pregnant."

he said slowly. i walked to him and placed my hand gently on his shoulder.

"yep."

i said a little worried now.

"who's is it?"

he asked looking up at me. i sent him a look.

"do you really need to ask?"

he let out a staggered breath and looked back down at the photo sitting on the table.

"so it is mine."

he affirmed with himself and nodded a few times, very slowly. he turned his head back to me and of course my stomach was eye level with him. he looked up at me for a second before wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing my stomach, never once breaking eye contact.

"i know ive never said it before cause we are so on the down low we are basically nonexistent but i love you. so much."

he said sincerely, standing up and placing his hands firmly at my back, pulling me closer to him. i smiled at him, tears stinging my eyes.

"i love you too Jeffrey."

i said softly, placing my hand against his cheek. he picked me up quickly and sat me on the table, leaning down and kissing me deeply.

"what the fuck?"

i heard and both our attention snapped to the kitchen doorway, duff standing there with a shocked expression on his face.

"i thought you were getting dinner with slash."

i said, eyes wide.

"i forgot my wallet. and hey! i thought you two were just friends!"

he torted back.

"not anymore."

izzy said, holding the picture of the sonogram up.

"im gonna be a dad."

he said endearingly, looking back down at me with a wide smile across his lips.

"youre pregnant?!"

duff practically screamed, walking into the kitchen and taking the picture from izzy. i nodded.

"thats what i wanted to tell you earlier."

he looked up at me, a distressed look on his face.

"my fake sister is pregnant with the child of my bands guitarist."

he said unbelievably, making me giggle.

"duffy its not a big deal."

he looked at me like i was crazy

"not a big deal? youre pregnant! this is life changing!"

"wait, y/n's pregnant?"

i heard slash say, the rest of the band coming into view behind him. i face palmed, making izzy laugh as duff moved to sit in the chair, looking over the sonogram again.

"alright, since everyone's here now, yes i am pregnant."

i said, looking over slash, axl, and steven as they walked into the kitchen. slash took the sonogram from duff and looked down at it, duffs fingers tangling in his messy blonde hair.

"who's the father?"

slash asked looking over at me, izzy still stood between my legs, looking smug as ever. he was still waiting for an answer though so i just pointed to iz.

"no."

he said, shocked.

"congrats."

steve said, walking over and half hugging me the best he could with izzy still in the way.

"thanks."

i said smiling at him. izzy faked hurt and frowned.

"hey, i had a part in this too."

he protested, axl coming over and slapping him on the back.

"oh we know. you dog!"

i laughed and hid my face in my hands.

"ya know, we were having a nice moment. what happened to you all getting dinner together?"

they all looked around at each other and shrugged.

"couldnt decide who would buy so we tried to pool together cash but duff left his wallet here. we came back to get it, he was taking too long so we came in to investigate why and now we all know the big news."

axl narrated.

"now i feel like you two have to come with us, as a celebration dinner."

slash said. i looked over at duff who still seemed like he was having a crisis.

"what do you say iz? celebratory 'we're expecting' dinner?"

he nodded, kissing me gently.

"id love that."

Bandito tour-Nashville

So this is later than usual but here it goes, my experience of the first show after Twenty One Pilots had been on hiatus for over a year.

Getting there:

So i had to work a closing shift that let out at 9:30 on monday but right after i booked it to get Kaylee and then we booked it to nashville. The drive was honestly great. It was so much better than the drive last month and me and K rolled the windows down and blasted Trench. It was so peaceful. Also,  if people heard some of the things we say out of context things would get very awkward.

The line:

wowowowow i actually missed camping out i hadnt done it since TDC. But we got there about 3am and it was so cold!!?!??! Kaylee ended up going to my car to sleep. So when we got there we set up her little brothers tent which was way to small for the both of us but we made it work. But like after 30 mins they moved the line and we were trying to get everything so we threw the stuff in the tent and just picked it up and shuffled our way. About 6am us and this dude named Ryan(?) went to starbucks. It was pretty chill the rest of the day i forgot the other dudes name but i painted his nails yellow and he let us have some duct tape so hes cool. And there were these people next to us that are my new best friends. Me and one of them went to get pizza for them and they let us have some. Despite me shivering the entire time i absolutely loved it. Me and Kaylee got 211 in line until they started scrunching for the show then we got 1163 i think? (163) im not sure how but it was really weird how they did everything. bUT bridgestone was super nice. There was a guy helping set the merch booth and when he saw how excited we were getting about the new merch he said "GA is gonna be blown away" and when they said that it wouldnt open till another 30 mins someone asked if we could still watch what was being put up and another guy said "of course!" then when we got in they made us all get in a line and told us that when we get in to sit down in our spot and they were gonna bring us water bc they didnt want anyone to pass out during the concert. It was so nice and every single one of the workers made it such a good experience for everyone. During the show they passed water around and made us waterfall it so other people could drink it too then near the end they just started handing out the bottles. Ive never seen an arena care so much it was amazing.

Max Frost:

What a dude! I had been listening to him for a tad before the concert in preparation but nothing could prepare me for how hyped he was. I didnt know he was doing everything so that was super cool to watch and uh Money Problems is my favorite and was so great live. Those high notes? He hit them. Love this guy and cant wait to see what the future holds for him.

Awolnation:

Um ok the guitarist didnt have to go THAT hard. i could lay on the ground and be at peace listening to them but i could also mosh like hell. They're super fucking good???? Like idk what i was expecting but they exceeded it. Really wanna go see them again...multiple times.

Twenty One Pilots:

Oh goodness i have so much to say. I didnt know that they could step their game up even more but they did. By a lot. This was my 10th concert and 2nd time seeing them and by far the best show i have ever seen. (Ive always loved fire so this next part is multiplied by like 986) the curtain dropped and it took me a second to see what was going on but when i did oh bOY. Josh was up there lookin like a fierce ass bandito holding a tORCH WITH FIRE. we were on his side second row (pretty much barricade)  so he was super close when he walked toward us i was yelling. tHEN I NOTICED TYLER coming up through the stage oN A BURNING CAR OKOKOKOK. I knew the burning car was gonna be there but that entrance??? Didnt have to be that amazing.but it was. During jumpsuit when all the flowers fell and some of the fans were throwing their own flowers to and it was so breath taking. The transition into levitate was better than anything i could ever do. I wasnt expecting him to do the death drop or go into the stands again but gUESS WHAT????? There are just so many moments and its so hard for me to put it all into words. NATN? My favorite song off the album? The one that means a lot to me? Him walking on a bridge through the crowd during it? I was gasping for air. Pet Cheetah? Incredible. Bandito? Beautiful. Neon Gravestones? Wow i love this song so much because its so raw and powerful and the fact that he put it on the setlist means he wants us to hear it. He wants us to LISTEN. Me and k were a mess. Of course it didnt help that it came right afteR MOTHER FUCKING TAXI CAB ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME. You cant tell me for one second that this band does not listen to their fans. I cant believe i hears that song live wow. Leave the City was one of the songs on the record that i had trouble connecting with because i think i was trying to search to much into its meaning but seeing it live really just made it so special and i found the meaning of it, or at least what it means to me. WDBWOT was amazing as always and when we first yelled Yeah Yeah Yeah he was a little shook. He was not expecting. Idk what they were expecting this crowd to be like for the first show but you could tell by their smiles they were happy with how it played out. During Morph Tyler messed up and later called himself out on it but tbh we all did...we just kept singing with him and when he realized he messed up is when i did lmao and he also looked at josh and said Whoops and thats a whole ass mood. There are so many other moments that im sure im forgetting but if anything was taken away from this it was a little bit of love. Seeing everyone in yellow bandanas and duct tape, seeing myself in that, makes me feel fearless. I keep the term "they cant see yellow" very close to my heart. And i keep the term "east is up" even closer. Seeing everyone in yellow, and hearing everyone say that, none of us are alone. We all have each other's back. And tyler and josh? They have our backs too. Maybe not in such a personal way but they created this. All of it. They created something that has brought all of us together. They created something so interactive we truly feel like we area part of it. They tell the truth about fear and then they bring hope to life. They're Twenty One Pilots and we truly are too.
