Love's checkered past
|
Is littered with violent acts
|
And the blood that fills countless baths
|
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 grab that stone and bring 'em all down with it
|
Steal those scissors and cut some throats
|
Put pen to the paper and I'll 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
|
I've never been a violent man
|
Well 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
|
|
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 I'll 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
|
|
Oh I'd kill for one
|
I'd kill for one night candlelit
|
I'd kill for one
|
I'd kill for one night candlelit
|
