December's Traditions Lyrics - Pedestrian Verse - Frightened Rabbit

December's traditions suck the last of summer from our cheeks 

Draws the curtains, strips the trees 

In so-called living rooms, Scottish pastimes come to roost 

Love's labors stain a linen sheet 

The ghostly body who makes his bed beside you 

Is slowly losing teeth 

The boy needs sunlight and a shot of modesty 

He needs to get some sleep 

It's not the answer, sticking plaster on a shattered bone 

What do you need? What do you need from me? 

It's not the answer, treating cancer like a cold 

What do you need? What do you need from me?

After months of grieving, well fuck the grief I'm leaving 

Will you leave with me? 

The blood loss, the towering cost of mouth to mouth and tongue to tongue 

The lick brings warm, metallic taste 

I can't correct myself 

Convince you that there's no-one else 

In volumes of new leaves 

If you want a saint, you don't want me

It's not the answer, sticking plaster on a shattered bone 

What do you need? What do you need from me? 

It's not the answer, treating cancer like a cold 

What do you need? What do you need from me? 

It's not the answer, well I'm just begging to be told 

What do you need? What do you need from me? 

If I had the answer, I'd write a book on what I know 

What do you need? What do you need from me?
