The Great War
[00:02.23] My knuckles were bruised like violets
[00:07.01] Sucker punching walls
[00:09.14] Cursed you as I sleep talked
[00:12.06] Spineless in my tomb of silence
[00:17.11] Tore your banners down
[00:18.97] Took the battle underground
[00:21.89] And maybe it was egos swinging
[00:27.20] Maybe it was her
[00:32.25] Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
[00:40.22] All that bloodshed, crimson clover
[00:43.40] Uh-huh, sweet dream was over
[00:45.79] My hand was the one you reached for
[00:48.98] All throughout the Great War
[00:51.64] Always remember, uh-huh
[00:54.03] Tears on the letter, I vowed
[00:56.42] Not to cry anymore
[00:58.81] If we survived the Great War
[01:02.26] You drew up some good faith treaties
[01:06.78] I drew curtains closed
[01:08.90] Drank my poison all alone
[01:11.82] You said I have to trust more freely
[01:16.87] But diesel is desire
[01:19.26] You were playing with fire
[01:22.10] And maybe it's the past that's talking
[01:27.15] Screaming from the crypt
[01:32.20] Telling me to punish you for things you never did
[01:38.57] So I justified it
[01:40.33] All that bloodshed, crimson clover
[01:43.25] Uh-huh, the bombs were closer
[01:45.64] My hand was the one you reached for
[01:49.10] All throughout the Great War
[01:51.75] Always remember, uh-huh
[01:53.88] The burning embers, I vowed
[01:56.54] Not to fight anymore
[01:58.93] If we survived the Great War
[02:03.44] Uh-huh, uh-huh
[02:12.21] It turned into something bigger
[02:16.99] Somewhere in the haze
[02:19.00] Got a sense I'd been betrayed
[02:21.66] Your finger on my hairpin triggers
[02:26.16] Soldier down on that icy ground
[02:28.29] Looked up at me with honor and truth
[02:32.01] Broken and blue
[02:34.40] So I called off the troops
[02:37.58] That was the night I nearly lost you
[02:44.49] I really thought I'd lost you
[02:54.58] We can plant a memory garden
[02:59.63] Say a solemn prayer
[03:01.64] Place a poppy in my hair
[03:04.56] There's no morning glory
[03:06.96] It was war, it wasn't fair
[03:10.67] And we will never go back to that
[03:13.59] Bloodshed, crimson clover
[03:15.72] Uh-huh, the worst was over
[03:18.11] My hand was the one you reached for
[03:21.56] All throughout the Great War
[03:24.22] Always remember, uh-huh
[03:26.34] We're burned for better, I vowed
[03:29.00] I would always be yours
[03:31.39] 'Cause we survived the Great War
[03:35.91] Uh-huh, uh-huh
[03:39.36] I will always be yours
[03:41.49] 'Cause we survived the Great War
[03:45.90] Uh-huh
[03:48.29] I vowed I will always be yours
