Best. Lyrics. Ever. " Its all about my forehead, and how it is a door that holds back contents that make Pandora's box contents look nonviolent." Migraine, Vessel, 2013. "Sometimes quiet is violent." Car Radio, Vessel, 2013. " There's an infestation in my mind's imagination." "Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit." Heavydirtysoul, Blurryface, 2015. "We're driving toward the morning sun, where all your blood is washed away, and all you did will be undone." Taxi Cab, Twenty One Pilots, 2009. I could go on, and on, and on, but I won't. So good.

Having three singles on the Top 40 charts at the same time and selling out arenas across the world. Not to mention their 5 Grammy nominations and Grammy win! Their fanbase has spanned every nation and if they keep this up, they will become even bigger. |-/
