Tyler and Josh were rehearsing non-stop with their eight songs to just get them really good for their next gig. Tyler wanted it to be good for Jenna, for his family, and for Josh's family. He was going to make this show right, unlike the last one, but now he knew what to do and what not to do.
Josh was having his new drum set being brought to him from his family, so Tyler and Josh were waiting for them. While waiting they decided to make a handshake and it was turning out to be so sick. Mark was there too. He was taking pictures and was going to film the show as well. When the Duns finally got there it was an hour until they were supposed to go on and Tyler's family had just gotten there too and everyone was helping to set up. Once set up, it was finally time and Jenna came around the corner to check if everything was all set up.
"You guys all ready to take the stage?" She asked.
"Yeah!" Josh said hitting his drum set.
"I think we got this." Tyler said tossing his mic in the air and failing to catch it.
"Oh gosh. Okay, well you're on anytime now. Go out there and rock it!" She said giving them a big smile.
Gosh she was so pretty, Tyler thought. He shook the thought out of his head. Let's do this.
Tyler stood in front of the small crowd of about fifty people.
"Hey everyone. We're Twenty One Pilots and we're going to entertain you guys."
Let's hope. Tyler thought.
"This first song is called 'Glowing Eyes.'" Josh hit the backing track and the duo started playing.
"We all are stranger creatures than when we all started out as kids,
Culture forbids,
We have romantic fantasies about what dying truly is,
To fall off the grid.
We live for the night's decor,
It reveals what we dream of.
I know there's someone at the door,
They called for help, of this I'm sure,
But do I want to say goodbye to all the glowing eyes,
I'm holding on to what I know,
And what I know, I must let go,
But I would rather play a song for the eyes to sing along.
We all know somebody who knows somebody who's doing great,
I know some people who know people who are flying straight,
But I'll kindly enter into rooms of depression,
While ceiling fans and idle hands will take my life again.
We live for the night's decor,
It reveals what we dream of.
I know there's someone at the door,
They called for help, of this I'm sure,
But do I want to say goodbye to all the glowing eyes,
I'm holding on to what I know,
And what I know, I must let go,
But I would rather play a song for the eyes to sing along.
This room is far too dark for us to stay around,
Redemption's not that far and darkness is going down.
Make them stop.
I'm holding on to what I know,
And what I know, I must let go,
But I would rather play a song for the eyes to sing along.
Make them stop."
They played the rest of their set. Tyler even played two of his old songs "Taxi Cab" and "Addict With A Pen" and he made sure that this time he'd let the music take over him. He twitched, he danced, he screamed and he enjoyed every second of it. Josh stood next to Tyler and they bowed.
"We're Twenty One Pilots. Thank you for listening." Then they traveled off stage.
"Dude! That was so sick!" Tyler said, jumping up and down.
"I felt that way too! Yeah!" Josh said joining Tyler.
Jenna came around the corner.
"Great show guys! That was really something different but I really liked it!"
"Thank you, that means a lot!" Tyler said.
