Starkweather – Shards lyrics
(R. Resmini)
This evening's no different from last night or the nights before I find
myself in a fetal position Hands wrapped tight around my throat I'm
thinking nothing seems to flow except this drowning sweat that's choking
me to question What I wrote you, at the time, I meant every word Now
each thought like my body twists and contorts Felt this churning
peristalsis reversed Fluttering in my throat a swarm of locusts erupts
from my mouth Running, stumbling hand over hand Slipping through and
splashing the floor Running, stumbling hand over hand Slipping through
and splashing the floor Running, stumbling hand over hand Slipping
through and splashing the floor Pure adrenaline surge tensed muscle
tears from its frame Pieces strewn from end to end Still feel no pain
locked in overdrive And if you could move it would only be a crawl
I've see you before in my life I want to tear you down Immerse myself
in your flames Bathe in your ashes before this day I never felt so
alive I've see you before in my life I want to tear you down I've see
you before in my life I want to tear you down Immerse myself in your
flames Yesterday erased a trace of my life I can't recall But your
voice reminds me Forever war Lifetime burning Another battlefield to
prove my worth Prove my worth as a failure In your eyes Ten minutes
sway as far as the eye can see Electrical towers span mile after mile
I've see you before in my life I've see you before in my life and I
want to tear you down I've come to tear you down My mind is a ghetto
where I'm breeding disease No refuge in the germ factory From behind
my window I see you standing on the platform waiting on the northbound
Plan my moves six steps in advance Take refuge in the germ factory
Visions of technicolor murder so vivid so real Visions of technicolor
murder Fulfilling some obscene prophecy I've come to tear you down
I've come to tear you down I've come to tear you down I've come to
tear you down Obsession spreading like cancer (Awareness) heightened to
arc light precision Every last detail
