The Great War
[00:01.95] My knuckles were bruised like violets
[00:06.95] Sucker punching walls
[00:08.96] Cursed you as I sleep talked
[00:11.95] Spineless in my tomb of silence
[00:16.96] Tore your banners down
[00:19.20] Took the battle underground
[00:21.95] And maybe it was egos swinging
[00:27.22] Maybe it was her
[00:32.21] Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
[00:40.21] All that bloodshed, crimson clover
[00:43.21] Uh-huh, sweet dream was over
[00:45.70] My hand was the one you reached for
[00:48.94] All throughout the Great War
[00:51.71] Always remember, uh-huh
[00:53.96] Tears on the letter, I vowed
[00:56.69] Not to cry anymore
[00:58.97] If we survived the Great War
[01:02.19] You drew up some good faith treaties
[01:07.20] I drew curtains closed
[01:08.95] Drank my poison all alone
[01:11.93] You said I have to trust more freely
[01:16.96] But diesel is desire
[01:19.21] You were playing with fire
[01:21.96] And maybe it's the past that's talking
[01:26.94] Screaming from the crypt
[01:32.20] Telling me to punish you for things you never did
[01:38.69] So I justified it
[01:40.45] All that bloodshed, crimson clover
[01:42.94] Uh-huh, the bombs were closer
[01:45.70] My hand was the one you reached for
[01:48.70] All throughout the Great War
[01:51.46] Always remember, uh-huh
[01:54.20] The burning embers, I vowed
[01:56.45] Not to fight anymore
[01:58.69] If we survived the Great War
[02:02.97] Uh-huh, uh-huh
[02:12.20] It turned into something bigger
[02:16.98] Somewhere in the haze
[02:18.96] Got a sense I'd been betrayed
[02:21.94] Your finger on my hairpin triggers
[02:25.95] Soldier down on that icy ground
[02:27.96] Looked up at me with honor and truth
[02:31.96] Broken and blue
[02:34.20] So I called off the troops
[02:37.95] That was the night I nearly lost you
[02:44.95] I really thought I'd lost you
[02:54.70] We can plant a memory garden
[02:59.45] Say a solemn prayer
[03:01.70] Place a poppy in my hair
[03:04.70] There's no morning glory
[03:06.71] It was war, it wasn't fair
[03:10.84] And we will never go back to that
[03:13.59] Bloodshed, crimson clover
[03:15.58] Uh-huh, the worst was over
[03:18.32] My hand was the one you reached for
[03:21.58] All throughout the Great War
[03:24.08] Always remember, uh-huh
[03:26.58] We're burned for better, I vowed
[03:29.10] I would always be yours
[03:31.33] 'Cause we survived the Great War
[03:35.58] Uh-huh, uh-huh
[03:39.08] I will always be yours
[03:41.33] 'Cause we survived the Great War
[03:45.59] Uh-huh
[03:48.09] I vowed I will always be yours
