Rich with natural metaphors and lively country energy, Fake Candles dives into a drama of jealousy, passion and discontent.
Features a playful acoustic slide guitar solo section

lyrics

Did you dive into a pit of hurt?
Heart first into a pit of hurt
Was it on fire in your hand?
When you surrendered to your man?

Did you think he’d break the dam
release the river, cool the sand?
Did you think he’d break the dam, break the dam?




Was that you cutting cactus down?
Was that you cutting cactus down?
I saw needles in the wind
As someone practiced on their swing
It only stood up to catch your eye
Offering water when all was dry
Only stood up to catch your eye, catch your eye

Was there fish jumping in your boat?
Was there not fish jumping in your boat?
Well you’d throw most back out to sea
And some would jump back in immediately
a ship like that might sink
but the reef below aint deep
A ship like that might sink, might sink


Was there light in your chandelier?
Bright light in your chandelier?
Was there light in your chandelier?
Igniting halos on your love
Like make believing was enough

Was the image negative underneath your closed eyelids?
Was the image negative, negative, negative
Was the image negative underneath your closed eyelids?
Was the image negative, negative, negative?

Everything is Made of Love ASCAP
