The Great War
[00:02.70] My knuckles were bruised like violets
[00:07.22] Sucker punching walls, cursed you as I sleep-talked
[00:12.01] Spineless in my tomb of silence
[00:17.33] Tore your banners down, took the battle underground
[00:22.11] And maybe it was ego swinging
[00:27.44] Maybe it was her
[00:32.22] Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
[00:40.19] All that bloodshed, crimson clover
[00:43.39] Uh-huh, sweet dream was over
[00:45.78] My hand was the one you reached for
[00:48.97] All throughout the Great War
[00:51.62] Always remember
[00:53.22] Uh-huh, tears on the letter
[00:55.87] I vowed not to cry anymore
[00:59.06] If we survived the Great War
[01:02.25] You drew up some good faith treaties
[01:07.03] I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone
[01:12.09] You said I have to trust more freely
[01:16.87] But diesel is desire, you were playin' with fire
[01:21.92] And maybe it's the past that's talkin'
[01:27.24] Screamin' from the crypt
[01:32.28] Tellin' me to punish you for things you never did
[01:38.66] So I justified it
[01:40.00] All that bloodshed, crimson clover
[01:43.19] Uh-huh, the bombs were close and
[01:45.85] My hand was the one you reached for
[01:49.04] All throughout the Great War
[01:51.42] Always remember
[01:53.28] Uh-huh, the burning embers
[01:55.95] I vowed not to fight anymore
[01:58.86] If we survived the Great War
[02:03.11] Uh-huh
[02:05.77] Uh-huh
[02:12.14] It turned into something bigger
[02:17.19] Somewhere in the haze, got a sense I'd been betrayed
[02:21.97] Your finger on my hair pin triggers
[02:26.22] Soldier down on that icy ground
[02:28.35] Looked up at me with honor and truth
[02:32.06] Broken and blue, so I called off the troops
[02:37.66] That was the night I nearly lost you
[02:44.30] I really thought I lost you
[02:54.65] We can plant a memory garden
[02:59.97] Say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair
[03:04.75] There's no morning glory, it was war, it wasn't fair
[03:10.86] And we will never go back
[03:12.72] To that bloodshed, crimson clover
[03:15.65] Uh-huh, the worst was over
[03:18.30] My hand was the one you reached for
[03:21.48] All throughout the Great War
[03:24.14] Always remember
[03:25.47] Uh-huh, we're burned for better
[03:28.12] I vowed I would always be yours
[03:31.31] 'Cause we survived the Great War
[03:35.56] Uh-huh
[03:37.95] Uh-huh
[03:40.08] I would always be yours
[03:41.14] 'Cause we survived the Great War
[03:45.39] Uh-huh
[03:48.84] I vowed I would always be yours
