The Great War
My knuckles were bruised like violets
- My knuckles were bruised like violets
- Sucker punching walls
- Cursed you as I sleep talked
- Spineless in my tomb of silence
- Tore your banners down
- Took the battle underground
- And maybe it was egos swinging
- Maybe it was her
- Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
- All that bloodshed
- Crimson clover
- Uh-huh sweet dream was over
- My hand was the one you reached for
- All throughout the Great War
- Always remember uh-huh
- Tears on the letter I vowed
- Not to cry anymore
- If we survived the Great War
- You drew up some good faith treaties
- I drew curtains closed
- Drank my poison all alone
- You said I have to trust more freely
- But diesel is desire
- You were playing with fire
- And maybe it's the past that's talking
- Screaming from the crypt
- Telling me to punish you for things you never did
- So I justified it
- All that bloodshed crimson clover
- Uh-huh the bombs were closer
- My hand was the one you reached for
- All throughout the Great War
- Always remember uh-huh
- The burning embers I vowed
- Not to fight anymore
- If we survived the Great War
- Uh-huh uh-huh
- It turned into something bigger
- Somewhere in the haze
- Got a sense I'd been betrayed
- Your finger on my hairpin triggers
- Soldier down on that icy ground
- Looked up at me with honor and truth
- Broken and blue
- So I called off the troops
- That was the night I nearly lost you
- I really thought I'd lost you
- We can plant a memory garden
- Say a solemn prayer
- Place a poppy in my hair
- There's no morning glory
- It was war it wasn't fair
- And we will never go back to that
- Bloodshed crimson clover
- Uh-huh the worst was over
- My hand was the one you reached for
- All throughout the Great War
- Always remember uh-huh
- We're burned for better I vowed
- I would always be yours
- 'Cause we survived the Great War
- Uh-huh uh-huh
- I will always be yours
- 'Cause we survived the Great War
- Uh-huh
- I vow I will always be yours
