there is a creature on the roof
that sees nothing at all
it may be a joke
but maybe
the mirror it stares at
all day long
can explain to it how
half of what it throws
doesn't add up,
and the other half
only hits it in the face.
rigidity is one thing.
and its post history is another.
"i spend my life on forums,"
screamed the creature on the roof,
waiting for the birds to scream it back.
but they see what it doesn't,
that there is a world beyond its view.
because the birds fly and rarely reason
and they will only sing
because the creature is incapable of a tune.

Never aimed with a weapon pointed at your mask
Never screamed it, I never needed to be loud
Because every message that you want I will not write
Can you understand this
I don't try to be the best
All I do is put imperfect to the test

I won't be writing just to impress under a spotlight that you think that you're in
[Chorus]
So go ahead and scream until you're empty
Is that a song or a psycho's plight
Do you believe that if you resent me
You come towards the light
No, I see the wristband, I see the cuts, I see the spite
I like your projecting, it lets me know it'll be all right
Because every message that you want I will not write
[Chorus]
So go ahead and scream until you're empty
Is that a song or a psycho's plight
Do you believe that if you resent me
You come towards the light
All you see is what you are, do you wanna fight me
No, I'll let you break heart, I knew what it was right from the start
And if you don't release me
You'll see what comes from scars
You come towards the light
Can you understand this
I don't try to be the best
All I do is put imperfect to the test
I won't be writing just to impress under a spotlight that you think that you're in
[Chorus]
So go ahead and scream until you're empty
Is that a song or a psycho's plight
Do you believe that if you resent me
You come towards the light
[Chorus]
So go ahead and scream until you're empty
Is that a song or a psycho's plight
Do you believe that if you resent me
You come towards the light
Do you believe if you resent me
You come towards the light
Towards the light
"Towards the Light"
