Bet you don't know where I've come back today
Ten years before this timeless now
The monster still lives and there's still no peace
And on the benches that we wrote on
Half in the dark, without thinking
All the verses of 'Heroes'
With a kid's mistakes, they're still there
It slips out of my control
And it's that the scream always lurks
Only the scream and fiction
The lights of my black alert
I have a knife and it's plastic
Where there used to be metal
And the strange book that kicked you out of preschool
I had to set its pages on fire
And on the bars that separate
That we wrote with a compass
I'm a scream and I'm glass
The one you hated so much
When you kept repeating to me that
It will drown you and it will drown me
And only the scream will help us
You said 'it's easy' and you used to start
And it's that the scream always comes back
Cold and brief like a verse
Written in an animal tongue
It will drown you and it will drown me
And only the scream will help us
I'm a scream and I'm glass
The one you hated so much
When you provoked me to howl
And that's it, there's peace now
And that's it, there's peace now
