Frightened Rabbit Candlelit song lyrics

Love's checkered past

Is littered with violent acts

And the blood that fills kindless paths

Each drop drawn in her name.

In this modern age

The image of father has changed

But if you're ready I'm willing to wage a gut-wrenched war

For a minute of your time

I'm done playing stone paper scissors

Gonna take that stone and bring them all down with it

Steal some scissors and cut some throats

Put pen to paper and write you a note

I won't get in line

I will not wait for this.

With my bare hands I kill

Just to be candlelit

with you.

I have no checkered past

And I've never been a violent man

Maybe you've changed all that

Each scar I carve is in your name

So let the suitors come

I can see them off one by one

Open every last artery up

Just for a second of your time.

I'm done playing stone paper scissors

Gonna take that stone and bring them all down with it.

Steal those scissors and cut some throats

Put pen to paper and write you a note

I won't get in line

I will not wait for this.

With my bare hands I kill

Just for the privilege

Look at the blood bath

Look at the mess I have made

With my bare hands I kill

Just to be candlelit with you.
