"You'll never know the murderer sitting next to you. You'll never know the freak show sitting next to you. You'll never know the psychopath sitting next to you. You'll think, 'How did I get here sitting next to you?' And after all, I've said, please don't forget. Watch it!" - 21 Pilots, Heathens

We were always taught that monsters are under your bed, in your closet, when you closed your eyes to take a shower.

Do you believe that, now?

I used to believe that, too, until I became smarter.

Why would monsters be under your bed,
when they'd rather be inside your head?

Haven't you ever had a monstrous thought? That's a part of the monster already residing in your mind.

Don't let it over-power you, don't let the darkness consume you.

It's hard, I know. Trust me.

Why would monsters hide in your closet, when they'd rather hide behind your mask, behind the "nice" charming smile that's always on your face?

Haven't you ever heard the saying?

"Each person has at least 3 masks; the one we show strangers, the one we show family and friends, and our true, real selves".

Do you know the freakshow sitting next to you?

Please, your closest friend could be a monster and you'd never know it...

Or your mom...

Your dad?

Your sister...

Heck, even your brother.

Do you know the monster sitting next to you?

Maybe, one day, you'll think...

How did I get here sitting next to you?

And after all I've said, please don't forget...

Watch it!
