Great war
[00:02.27] My knuckles were bruised like violets
[00:07.04] Sucker punching walls, cursed you as I sleep-talked
[00:12.05] Spineless in my tomb of silence
[00:16.32] Tore your banners down, took the battle underground
[00:21.58] And maybe it was ego swinging
[00:26.85] Maybe it was her
[00:30.36] Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
[00:38.14] All that bloodshed, crimson clover
[00:43.41] Uh-huh, sweet dream was over
[00:45.66] My hand was the one you reached for
[00:48.42] All throughout the Great War
[00:51.43] Always remember
[00:53.18] Uh-huh, tears on the letter
[00:55.69] I vowed not to cry anymore
[00:58.94] If we survived the Great War
[01:02.20] You drew up some good faith treaties
[01:06.72] I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone
[01:11.73] You said I have to trust more freely
[01:16.75] But diesel is desire, you were playin' with fire
[01:21.76] And maybe it's the past that's talkin'
[01:26.77] Screamin' from the crypt
[01:29.03] Tellin' me to punish you for things you never did
[01:38.05] So I justified it
[01:40.56] All that bloodshed, crimson clover
[01:43.07] Uh-huh, the bombs were close and
[01:45.83] My hand was the one you reached for
[01:48.59] All throughout the Great War
[01:51.34] Always remember
[01:53.35] Uh-huh, the burning embers
[01:55.60] I vowed not to fight anymore
[01:58.86] If we survived the Great War
[02:03.37] Uh-huh
[02:05.63] Uh-huh
[02:10.89] It turned into something bigger
[02:16.41] Somewhere in the haze, got a sense I'd been betrayed
[02:21.92] Your finger on my hair pin triggers
[02:26.18] Soldier down on that icy ground
[02:28.19] Looked up at me with honor and truth
[02:31.69] Broken and blue, so I called off the troops
[02:36.96] That was the night I nearly lost you
[02:44.49] I really thought I lost you
[02:53.52] We can plant a memory garden
[02:59.28] Say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair
[03:04.30] There's no morning glory, it was war, it wasn't fair
[03:10.81] And we will never go back
[03:12.82] To that bloodshed, crimson clover
[03:15.59] Uh-huh, the worst was over
[03:18.09] My hand was the one you reached for
[03:23.11] All throughout the Great War
[03:23.86] Always remember
[03:25.86] Uh-huh, we're burned for better
[03:28.12] I vowed I would always be yours
[03:31.12] 'Cause we survived the Great War
[03:35.39] Uh-huh
[03:37.89] Uh-huh
[03:39.65] I would always be yours
[03:41.40] 'Cause we survived the Great War
[03:45.16] Uh-huh
[03:48.42] I vowed I would always be yours
