The Great War
[00:01.53] My knuckles were bruised like violets
[00:06.81] Sucker punching walls, cursed you as I sleep-talked
[00:11.56] Spineless in my tomb of silence
[00:16.56] Tore your banners down, took the battle underground
[00:21.81] And maybe it was ego swinging
[00:26.56] Maybe it was her
[00:31.32] Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
[00:39.81] All that bloodshed, crimson clover
[00:43.09] Uh-huh, sweet dream was over
[00:45.60] My hand was the one you reached for
[00:48.65] All throughout the Great War
[00:51.40] Always remember
[00:53.15] Uh-huh, tears on the letter
[00:55.45] I vowed not to cry anymore
[00:58.49] If we survived the Great War
[01:01.76] You drew up some good faith treaties
[01:06.76] I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone
[01:11.51] You said I have to trust more freely
[01:16.51] But diesel is desire, you were playin' with fire
[01:21.76] And maybe it's the past that's talkin'
[01:26.51] Screamin' from the crypt
[01:31.76] Tellin' me to punish you for things you never did
[01:38.26] So I justified it
[01:40.06] All that bloodshed, crimson clover
[01:43.31] Uh-huh, the bombs were close and
[01:45.56] My hand was the one you reached for
[01:48.81] All throughout the Great War
[01:51.31] Always remember
[01:53.06] Uh-huh, the burning embers
[01:55.56] I vowed not to fight anymore
[01:58.31] If we survived the Great War
[02:02.81] Uh-huh
[02:05.56] Uh-huh
[02:11.56] It turned into something bigger
[02:16.11] Somewhere in the haze, got a sense I'd been betrayed
[02:21.61] Your finger on my hair pin triggers
[02:25.91] Soldier down on that icy ground
[02:27.70] Looked up at me with honor and truth
[02:31.45] Broken and blue, so I called off the troops
[02:37.21] That was the night I nearly lost you
[02:44.20] I really thought I lost you
[02:53.45] We can plant a memory garden
[02:59.25] Say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair
[03:04.00] There's no morning glory, it was war, it wasn't fair
[03:10.50] And we will never go back
[03:12.75] To that bloodshed, crimson clover
[03:15.50] Uh-huh, the worst was over
[03:18.00] My hand was the one you reached for
[03:21.00] All throughout the Great War
[03:24.25] Always remember
[03:25.36] Uh-huh, we're burned for better
[03:28.05] I vowed I would always be yours
[03:31.36] 'Cause we survived the Great War
[03:35.35] Uh-huh
[03:37.85] Uh-huh
[03:39.10] I would always be yours
[03:41.16] 'Cause we survived the Great War
[03:45.44] Uh-huh
[03:47.74] I vowed I would always be yours
