The Great War
[00:02.41] My knuckles were bruised like violets
[00:07.18] Sucker punching walls
[00:09.30] Cursed you as I sleep talked
[00:12.23] Spineless in my tomb of silence
[00:17.02] Tore your banners down
[00:19.40] Took the battle underground
[00:22.05] And maybe it was egos swinging
[00:27.10] Maybe it was her
[00:32.15] Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
[00:40.65] All that bloodshed, crimson clover
[00:43.30] Uh-huh, sweet dream was over
[00:45.70] My hand was the one you reached for
[00:49.15] All throughout the Great War
[00:51.80] Always remember, uh-huh
[00:53.93] Tears on the letter, I vowed
[00:56.59] Not to cry anymore
[00:58.98] If we survived the Great War
[01:02.43] You drew up some good faith treaties
[01:07.21] I drew curtains closed
[01:09.34] Drank my poison all alone
[01:12.26] You said I have to trust more freely
[01:17.32] But diesel is desire
[01:19.18] You were playing with fire
[01:22.37] And maybe it's the past that's talking
[01:27.15] Screaming from the crypt
[01:32.19] Telling me to punish you for things you never did
[01:38.84] So I justified it
[01:40.69] All that bloodshed, crimson clover
[01:43.09] Uh-huh, the bombs were closer
[01:45.74] My hand was the one you reached for
[01:48.93] All throughout the Great War
[01:51.58] Always remember, uh-huh
[01:53.98] The burning embers, I vowed
[01:56.63] Not to fight anymore
[01:59.02] If we survived the Great War
[02:02.48] Uh-huh, uh-huh
[02:12.57] It turned into something bigger
[02:17.35] Somewhere in the haze
[02:19.21] Got a sense I'd been betrayed
[02:22.40] Your finger on my hairpin triggers
[02:26.38] Soldier down on that icy ground
[02:28.51] Looked up at me with honor and truth
[02:31.69] Broken and blue
[02:34.62] So I called off the troops
[02:37.80] That was the night I nearly lost you
[02:44.98] I really thought I'd lost you
[02:54.81] We can plant a memory garden
[02:59.58] Say a solemn prayer
[03:01.71] Place a poppy in my hair
[03:04.63] There's no morning glory
[03:06.76] It was war, it wasn't fair
[03:10.74] And we will never go back to that
[03:13.40] Bloodshed, crimson clover
[03:15.79] Uh-huh, the worst was over
[03:18.18] My hand was the one you reached for
[03:21.37] All throughout the Great War
[03:24.02] Always remember, uh-huh
[03:26.68] We're burned for better, I vowed
[03:29.07] I would always be yours
[03:31.46] 'Cause we survived the Great War
[03:33.85] Uh-huh, uh-huh
[03:39.69] I will always be yours
[03:41.55] 'Cause we survived the Great War
[03:45.80] Uh-huh
[03:49.26] I vowed I will always be yours
