take it off when you're ready.

tyler paces around the house nervously. he'd soon be in front of a crowd of people, singing with his own voice and his own words. allowing anyone to judge him freely. showing them himself at his weakest point. and of course, he has to impress josh, so he can't back out now.

maybe nobody will even notice them. maybe he'll be okay. or maybe everyone will get annoyed and tell them to shut up.

because who would care about some kid with a message?

"THEY WOULDN'T."

tyler sighs, glancing up at blurryface.

"YOU HAVE NO PURPOSE HERE."

"i might." he mumbles. "i-i just have to find i-it."

"IF YOU MAKE IT THAT LONG."

tyler looks in his mirror at the reflection staring back at him with big, sad eyes.

WORTHLESS. STUPID. FAT. USELESS. NOTHING."

tears well up in his eyes. he can't take it anymore. he runs to the bathroom and throws up all of the taco bell he consumed earlier. well, that didn't last long.

"THROW IT ALL UP. YOU DON'T NEED IT."

"i don't need food." he repeats, laying on the floor slowly. "i don't need it."

tyler doesn't bother stopping blurry's words. he wants to hear them.

"PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LAUGH AT YOU TONIGHT. NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU THINK."

he nods with tear-stained eyes.

"LET'S DO THIS MORE OFTEN." blurryface grins.

tyler nods once again, closing his eyes and facing the ceiling.

"REMEMBER ME."

it all becomes silent as tyler lays on the cold, dirty tiles of the bathroom floor. he soon falls into a deep sleep from the exhaustion of living inside of tyler joseph's mind.

nothing kills a man faster than his own head.

...

"can we do something after school?" hayley asks the group, chewing on the end of her pencil.

"i'm down." brendon shrugs. "what are we thinking?"

"video games at josh's?" jenna asks. "you have that game with all the characters? the one where you beat each other up to win?"

"it's called super smash bros." josh corrects. "and yes i do. but i'm busy today."

"ugh, you're always busy." hayley rolls her eyes. brendon shakes his head.

"if he's busy, we'll play some other time."

debby glances over, eavesdropping on the conversation.

"with what? is it tyler?" jenna asks, smiling. "oh please invite him over. he was so nice."

brendon and josh make eye contact, trying to find excuses out of the situation.

"he didn't even talk." pete mumbles. "he's a mute."

"he is not!" she glares at him. "he's shy."

"tyler's not coming over." josh interrupts. "i'm helping abby with a project."

"i have super smash bros." brendon chirps. "only for the wii, though. we can go to my house so josh can help his sister."

jenna smiles. "okay! i wanna be the pink guy, though."
