|[Instrumental Intro]
|[Verse 1]
[Verse 1: Tyler Joseph]
I wake up fine and dandy, but then by the time I find it handy


Nobody thinks what I think
To rip my heart apart and start planning my crash landing


Nobody dreams when they blink
I go up, up, up, up, up to the ceiling


Think things on the brink of blasphemy
Then I feel my soul start leaving like an old man's hair receding


I'm my own shrink
I'm pleading, "Please, oh please!" on my knees repeatedly asking


Think things are after me, I'm my catastrophe
Why it's got to be like this, is this living free?


At my kitchen sink
I don't wanna be the one, be the one who has the


You don't know what that means
Sun's blood on my hands, I'll tell the moon


Because a kitchen sink to you is not a kitchen sink to me
Take this weapon forged in darkness


Okay, friend?
Some see a pen, I see a harpoon


Are you searching for purpose?
[Pre-Chorus]


Then write something, yeah, it might be worthless
I'll stay awake 'cause the dark's not taking prisoners tonight


Then paint something, and it might be wordless
Why am I not scared in the morning?


Pointless curses, nonsense verses
I don't hear those voices calling


You'll see purpose start to surface
I must have kicked them out, I must have kicked them out


No one else is dealing with your demons
I swear I heard demons yelling


Meaning maybe defeating them could be the beginning
Those crazy words they were spelling


Of your meaning, friend
They told me I was gone, they told me I was gone


[Chorus: Tyler Joseph]
[Chorus]


Go away, go away
But I'll tell 'em, "Why won't you let me go?


Go away, go away
Do I threaten all your plans? I'm insignificant"


Leave me alone, leave me alone
Please tell 'em, you have no plans for me


Leave me alone, leave me alone
I will set my soul on fire, what have I become?


Leave me alone
I'll tell 'em


Leave me alone
[Verse 2]


Leave me alone
On the eve of a day that's forgotten and fake


[Verse 2: Tyler Joseph]
As the trees, they await, and clouds anticipate


Nobody thinks what you think, no one
The start of a day when we put on our face


Empathy might be on the brink of extinction
A mask that portrays that we don't need grace


They will play a game
On the eve of a day that is bigger than us


And say they know what you're going through
But we open our eyes 'cause we're told that we must


And I tried to come up with an artistic way to say
And the trees wave their arms and the clouds try to plead


They don't know you
Desperately yelling, "There's something we need!"


And neither do I
I'm not free, I asked forgiveness three times


So here's a prime example of a stand-up guy who
Same amount that I denied, I three-time MVP'd this crime


Hates what he believes and loves it at the same time
I'm afraid to tell you who I adore, won't tell you who I'm singing towards


Here's my brother
Metaphorically, I'm a whore, and that's denial number four


And his head's screwed up, but that's all right
[Pre-Chorus]


[Bridge: Zack Joseph]
I'll stay awake 'cause the dark's not taking prisoners tonight


Time gains momentum the moment when I'm living in 'em
Why am I not scared in the morning?


I'm winning a momentary, sinning a moment passing after
I don't hear those voices calling


A re-beginning moment's mending memories
I must have kicked them out, I must have kicked them out


Pretending enemies are friends of me
I swear I heard demons yelling


Sending me straight to bending me
Those crazy words they were spelling


My bad behavior but I bet I could have been a better man
They told me I was gone, they told me I was gone


Copy and paste caught me, and copy, better rhymes bother me
[Chorus]


The better the rhythm, the badder I am
But I'll tell 'em, "Why won't you let me go?


But I bet I'll battle with 'em battle
Do I threaten all your plans? I'm insignificant"


Better I am, gamblin' man, better bet I am a gambling man, I am?
Please tell 'em, you have no plans for me


[Chorus: Tyler Joseph]
I will set my soul on fire, what have I become?


Go away, go away
[Outro]


Go away, go away
I'll tell 'em, you have no plans for me, I will set my soul on fire


Leave me alone, leave me alone
What have I become? I'll tell 'em, I'll tell 'em, I'll tell 'em


Leave me alone, leave me alone
I'll tell 'em, please tell 'em, you have no plans for me


[Outro: Tyler Joseph]
I will set my soul on fire, what have I become? I'm sorry
 
Leave me alone!
 
Don't leave me alone!
 
Oh
 
Oh
 
Oh
 
Oh

|When asked about the famous symbol that has come to represent the band, '''<nowiki>|-/</nowiki>''', frontman Tyler Joseph told interviewers that the meaning of that symbol has a lot to do with “Kitchen Sink,” an extremely important song to him.
|“Ode to Sleep” seems to represent night and day as both the instrumentation and the lyrics seesaw back and forth between the light and the dark. The verses are riddled with a dark tone full of conflict, similarly to how Tyler describes his nights. The pre-chorus, chorus, and outro all share a light-hearted tone in which Tyler sings about conquering the night and the depression it invokes.
"Something happened to me at a kitchen sink. There was something I realized. That song ‘Kitchen Sink’ and that reference means something to me. But if I were to tell you exactly what that meant, those times where I need the motivation to continue forward, I wouldn’t have that as part of my motivation. In my darkest hour, when I’m trying to figure out what to do with myself, there’s that thing, that song…If I were to no longer continue forward, there would be no one there to explain this thing. I will not tell you what a kitchen sink is to me because it represents something that only I understand." [https://genius.com/Twenty-one-pilots-kitchen-sink-lyrics <nowiki>[2]</nowiki>]
“Ode to Sleep” is Tyler Joseph’s favorite song to perform live, even after releasing ''Blurryface'' and touring extensively.
 
This track was originally featured on ''Regional At Best'' in 2011 and was later remastered for ''Vessel'' in 2013.<blockquote>The reason why this is the first song on the album is that I feel like it kind of prepares the listener for the rest of the album, it almost puts them through a boot camp of what to expect… Which is don’t expect anything!</blockquote>–Tyler Joseph via ''Rock Sound''
 
The music video was released on New Year’s Eve in 2014. It depicts the band’s rise to fame, starting with their first show and ending with a performance at a venue holding 12,000 fans. [https://genius.com/Twenty-one-pilots-kitchen-sink-lyrics <nowiki>[2]</nowiki>]
