The song is alternative hip-hop, quite similar to trip-pop and has a melodic pre-chorus and chorus in which vocal samples can be heard.
On “Addict with a Pen,” [[Tyler Joseph|Tyler]] begins to pray to God after they “haven’t talked in quite some time.” He confesses his sins and begs his creator for redemption, or to forgive him of his sins, illustrating this as being provided water in a desert.
 
“Addict with a Pen” is a fan favorite and has even had some of the most emotional performances live. It is also one of the few songs that twenty one pilots proudly acknowledges from their self-titled era.<ref>https://genius.com/Twenty-one-pilots-addict-with-a-pen-lyrics</ref>


The track has no live drums and bass and is fully synthesized in Logic Pro X software.

|[Verse 1]
|[Chorus]
Your grandpa died when you were nine
Hello, we haven't talked in quite some time
 
They said he had lost his mind
 
You have learned way too soon
 
You should never trust the Pantaloon
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Now it's your turn to be alone
 
Find a wife and build yourself a home
 
You have learned way too soon


That your dad is now the Pantaloon
I know I haven't been the best of sons


Hello, I've been travelin' in the deserts of my mind


[Chorus]
And I haven't found a drop of life


You are tired, you are hurt
I haven't found a drop of You


A moth ate through your favorite shirt
I haven't found a drop


And all your friends fertilize the ground you walk
I haven't found a drop of water


Lose your mind


[Refrain]


[Bridge]
Water!


He's seen too many stare downs
Oh!


Between the sun and the moon
Oh!


In the morning air, how


He used to hustle all the people
[Verse]


Walking through the fairgrounds
I try desperately to run through the sand


He's been around so long
As I hold the water in the palm of my hand


He's changed his meaning of a chair now
'Cause it's all that I have and it's all that I need


Because a chair now
And the waves of the water mean nothing to me


Is like a tiny island in the sea of all the people
But I try my best and all that I can to


Who glide across the very surface
Hold tightly onto what's left in my hand


That made his bones feeble
But no matter how, how tightly I will strain


The end can't come soon enough
The sand will slow me down and the water will drain


But is it too soon?
I'm just bein' dramatic, in fact, I'm only at it again


Either way he can't deny
As an addict with a pen who's addicted to the wind


He is a Pantaloon
As it blows me back and forth, bindless, spineless, and pretend


Of course I'll be here again, see You tomorrow, but it's the end of today


[Chorus]
End of my ways as a walking denial


You are tired, you are hurt
My trial was filed as a crazy, suicidal head-case


A moth ate through your favorite shirt
But You specialize in dyin', You hear me screamin', "Father!"


And all your friends fertilize the ground you walk
And I'm lyin' here just cryin', so wash me with Your water


Lose your mind


[Refrain]


[Verse 3]
Water!


You like to sleep alone
Oh!
 
It's colder than you know
 
'Cause your skin is so
 
Used to colder bones
 
It's warmer in the morning
 
Than what it is at night
 
Your bones are held together
 
By your nightmares and your frights




[Chorus]
[Chorus]


You are tired, you are hurt
Hello, I haven't talked in quite some time


A moth ate through your favorite shirt
I know I haven't been the best of sons


And all your friends, they fertilize the ground you walk
Hello, I've been travelin' in the deserts of my mind


So lose your mind
And I, I haven't found a drop of life


I haven't found a drop of You


You are tired, you are hurt
I haven't found a drop


A moth ate through your favorite shirt
I haven't found a drop of water
 
And all your friends, they fertilize the ground you walk
 
Lose your mind

Lyrics

Album version
[Chorus]

Hello, we haven't talked in quite some time

I know I haven't been the best of sons

Hello, I've been travelin' in the deserts of my mind

And I haven't found a drop of life

I haven't found a drop of You

I haven't found a drop

I haven't found a drop of water


[Refrain]

Water!

Oh!

Oh!


[Verse]

I try desperately to run through the sand

As I hold the water in the palm of my hand

'Cause it's all that I have and it's all that I need

And the waves of the water mean nothing to me

But I try my best and all that I can to

Hold tightly onto what's left in my hand

But no matter how, how tightly I will strain

The sand will slow me down and the water will drain

I'm just bein' dramatic, in fact, I'm only at it again

As an addict with a pen who's addicted to the wind

As it blows me back and forth, bindless, spineless, and pretend

Of course I'll be here again, see You tomorrow, but it's the end of today

End of my ways as a walking denial

My trial was filed as a crazy, suicidal head-case

But You specialize in dyin', You hear me screamin', "Father!"

And I'm lyin' here just cryin', so wash me with Your water


[Refrain]

Water!

Oh!


[Chorus]

Hello, I haven't talked in quite some time

I know I haven't been the best of sons

Hello, I've been travelin' in the deserts of my mind

And I, I haven't found a drop of life

I haven't found a drop of You

I haven't found a drop

I haven't found a drop of water
