The end of 2025 hit hard with a combination of insomnia and writer’s block. To combat both, I set myself a challenge: to write a song based on each track on Twenty One Pilots’ self-titled album.
Most of them aren’t… awesome – but they did help get me out of a funk, so they’re worth sharing.
As I type them up (yeah, I wrote these bad boys by hand in the middle of the night,) I’ll add them here.
