lyrics

These are Fighting Words

Can you teach me how to fight?
How to wrap my knuckles tight
For blackening eyes?
I don’t want to beat the air
Swinging at what isn’t there
Exposed from behind

I’ll throw down my gloves
To win my love
With blood on my hands
I’ll be her man

I was born a runner’s son
Turning tale with drifter’s thumb
At first sign of pain
There’s a time for making war
Staring down the bleeding sore
And cutting the vein

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who is the fiercest foe of all?
With violent eyes I set out for my enemy
But pulled my punches when I saw that he was me

So I might need some help
To face myself
With blood on my hands
I’m still her man
