Candlelit 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 valor has changed
But I'm ready and willing to wage
a gut wrenched war for a minute
of your time

I'm done playin' stone paper scissors
Gonna take that stone and bring'em all down with it

Steal those scissors and cut some throats
Put pen to the 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 candle lit
with you

I have no checkered past
I've never been a violent man

well maybe you've changed all that
each scar i've carved 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

Oh...

I'm done playin' stone paper scissors
Gonna take that stone and bring'em all
down with it

Steal those scissors and cut some throats
Put pen to the 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've killed
just to be candle lit
With you

Oh, I'd kill for one
I'd kill for one night candle lit
oh i'd kill for one
kill for one night candle lit
