"The Great War"
[00:02.21] My knuckles were bruised like violets
[00:07.19] Sucker punching walls, cursed you as I sleep-talked
[00:12.18] Spineless in my tomb of silence
[00:17.22] Tore your banners down, took the battle underground
[00:21.94] And maybe it was egos swinging
[00:27.16] Maybe it was her
[00:32.22] Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
[00:37.92] .
[00:40.19] All that bloodshed, crimson clover
[00:43.16] Uh-huh, sweet dream was over
[00:45.65] My hand was the one you reached for
[00:49.10] All throughout the Great War
[00:51.62] Always remember
[00:53.21] Uh-huh, tears on the letter
[00:55.77] I vowed not to cry anymore
[00:58.68] If we survived the Great War
[01:02.28] You drew up some good faith treaties
[01:07.06] I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone
[01:11.88] You said I have to trust more freely
[01:16.85] But diesel is desire, you were playing with fire
[01:22.04] And maybe it's the past that's talking
[01:27.24] Screaming from the crypt
[01:32.19] Telling me to punish you for things you never did
[01:38.72] So I justified it
[01:40.29] All that bloodshed, crimson clover
[01:43.25] Uh-huh, the bombs were closer
[01:45.56] My hand was the one you reached for
[01:49.03] All throughout the Great War
[01:51.69] Always remember
[01:53.03] Uh-huh, the burning embers
[01:55.69] I vowed not to fight anymore
[01:58.80] If we survived the Great War
[02:03.21] Uh-huh, uh-huh
[02:07.58] .
[02:12.05] It turned into something bigger
[02:17.09] Somewhere in the haze, got a sense I'd been betrayed
[02:21.90] Your finger on my hairpin triggers
[02:25.75] Soldier down on that icy ground
[02:28.20] Looked up at me with honor and truth
[02:32.07] Broken and blue, so I called off the troops
[02:37.43] That was the night I nearly lost you
[02:44.49] I really thought I'd lost you
[02:50.29] .
[02:54.58] We can plant a memory garden
[02:59.68] Say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair
[03:04.74] There's no morning glory, it was war, it wasn't fair
[03:10.56] And we will never go back
[03:12.82] To that bloodshed, crimson clover
[03:15.49] Uh-huh, the worst was over
[03:18.18] My hand was the one you reached for
[03:21.63] All throughout the Great War
[03:24.03] Always remember
[03:25.65] Uh-huh, we're burned for better
[03:28.18] I vowed I would always be yours
[03:31.12] 'Cause we survived the Great War
[03:35.54] Uh-huh, uh-huh
[03:38.94] I will always be yours
[03:41.35] 'Cause we survived the Great War
[03:45.72] Uh-huh
[03:48.14] I vow I will always be yours
