Take Me to War |
I’ve earned myself a reputation |
That my bark is much worse than my bite |
But I keep snapping at Goliath’s hands |
With all of my tiny might |
There are no stones at my disposal |
There’s no God to award me a crown |
But I am always swinging at |
Somebody I can’t knock down |
All of the fire I’ve swallowed |
All of the sparks that went dark in my gut |
I am always burning up |
Dress me in red and throw your roses |
And I’ll rankle the beasts with words |
It’s a graceless dance of epithets |
We learn to make someone hurt |
They will consume your sweet resistance |
And they’ll carry your heart in their teeth |
But I am always feeding them |
The ugliest parts of me |
All of the words I’ve swallowed |
All of the sharp things I’ve kept in my mouth |
I am always bleeding out |
Take me to war |
Honey, I dare you |
I’ll be the sweetest thing |
To ever scare you |
Give me a fight I can’t resist |
Give me something to break with my fists |
Take me to war |
Oh, honey, I dare you |
I watched a weed usurp the garden |
And it poisoned the rest of the crops |
It would take days of fighting stubborn roots |
To tear the whole damn thing out |
So I will leave it where it’s standing |
And instead I will find me a match |
I’ll turn it all to kindling |
I’ll burn it all down to ash |
All of the ire I’ve swallowed |
All of the coals that still sit in my gut |
I am always burning up |
Take me to war |
Honey, I dare you |
I’ll be the sweetest thing |
To ever scare you |
Give me a fight I can’t resist |
Give me something to break with my fists |
Take me to war |
Oh, honey, I dare you |
