The Great War
[00:01.75] My knuckles were bruised like violets
[00:07.06] Sucker punching walls
[00:09.19] Cursed you as I sleep talked
[00:11.85] Spineless in my tomb of silence
[00:16.91] Tore your banners down
[00:18.77] Took the battle underground
[00:21.99] And maybe it was egos swinging
[00:27.03] Maybe it was her
[00:32.08] Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
[00:40.31] All that bloodshed, crimson clover
[00:42.97] Uh-huh, sweet dream was over
[00:45.62] My hand was the one you reached for
[00:48.81] All throughout the Great War
[00:51.47] Always remember, uh-huh
[00:53.86] Tears on the letter, I vowed
[00:56.52] Not to cry anymore
[00:58.65] If we survived the Great War
[01:02.10] You drew up some good faith treaties
[01:07.15] I drew curtains closed
[01:09.01] Drank my poison all alone
[01:11.93] You said I have to trust more freely
[01:16.97] But diesel is desire
[01:19.10] You were playing with fire
[01:22.28] And maybe it's the past that's talking
[01:26.80] Screaming from the crypt
[01:32.11] Telling me to punish you for things you never did
[01:38.49] So I justified it
[01:40.34] All that bloodshed, crimson clover
[01:43.00] Uh-huh, the bombs were closer
[01:45.93] My hand was the one you reached for
[01:48.84] All throughout the Great War
[01:51.24] Always remember, uh-huh
[01:53.90] The burning embers, I vowed
[01:56.55] Not to fight anymore
[01:58.68] If we survived the Great War
[02:02.93] Uh-huh, uh-huh
[02:11.97] It turned into something bigger
[02:17.02] Somewhere in the haze
[02:18.88] Got a sense I'd been betrayed
[02:21.53] Your finger on my hairpin triggers
[02:25.80] Soldier down on that icy ground
[02:27.92] Looked up at me with honor and truth
[02:31.91] Broken and blue
[02:34.03] So I called off the troops
[02:37.49] That was the night I nearly lost you
[02:44.39] I really thought I'd lost you
[02:54.51] We can plant a memory garden
[02:59.55] Say a solemn prayer
[03:01.41] Place a poppy in my hair
[03:04.60] There's no morning glory
[03:06.45] It was war, it wasn't fair
[03:10.71] And we will never go back to that
[03:13.36] Bloodshed, crimson clover
[03:15.49] Uh-huh, the worst was over
[03:18.15] My hand was the one you reached for
[03:21.34] All throughout the Great War
[03:23.98] Always remember, uh-huh
[03:26.38] We're burned for better, I vowed
[03:28.78] I would always be yours
[03:31.20] 'Cause we survived the Great War
[03:35.45] Uh-huh, uh-huh
[03:38.91] I will always be yours
[03:41.03] 'Cause we survived the Great War
[03:45.55] Uh-huh
[03:48.21] I vowed I will always be yours
