Starkweather Into The Wire Lyrics

(R. Resmini)
Unmistakable, the scent, the chill in the air  Feel Autumn creep into
place  Those uncharted thoroughfares and shallows deep  Speak in
intricacies  Pale illumination secret emotions  For ransom behind a
paper mask  Inside a heart shaped stone  Uninhibited reins unfurled I
couldn't resist the urge to hesitate when I heard you cry  Bastard, you
have no shame  Don't you know tears won't wash away real or imagined
crimes  Design's flawed structure tests failure seems a perfect fit
Relinquish those ties that bind  Bare devotion in no uncertain terms
Together we'll share our misery  Foster this beautiful child versed in
the fury  Spare me the pain of love  Each day I reach a new low I took
the low road to zero  I know you're just like me  You bear the mark, the
stain  I know you're just like me  Together we'll share our misery
Foster this beautiful child versed in the fury  You're just what I need
Take my hand  Press it to the burner  Love tastes bittersweet  Screams
for revenge  There will come a time, someday soon, you, too, will be
alone  You felt the wind at your back so you ran  You took what you
wanted  You took as you need  Thought you could disappear leave without
a trace  Lose yourself as you wade deep into the city  So run silent,
run deep  With closed eyes I focus on the lull of lush static white
noise off the highway  Imagine the tide crash the shore  I'll lay here,
watch it fall and I won't make a sound  I'll lay here, watch it fall and
I won't make a sound  Stirred by the pitter-patter of sleet bouncing off
the sill  Nudge my head further into the pillow  Not content with the
dreaming  A sprawling shade of gray  Pick myself up tip-toe across icy
tile  Nimble as a firewalker  Quick glance at the clock  I'm going no
where at all  Idly passing the time  Filling in the gaps has become
routine  Devote endless effort to a single thought can afford the
attention because it doesn't cost a thing  Under a facade of normalcy  A
wolf in the guise of sheep  I'll draw you out into the wire  When I bait
the trap with rose petals  I'll draw you out into the wire  When I bait
the trap  Cascades of red purl over gnashing maws  Love tastes
bittersweet, it screams for revenge  Felt nary a tinge of misgiving at
what I've done  Excuses are paper thin  Fit to bur  Hold you to nothing
I'll honor your lies
