lirik lagu the crane wives – 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 d-mn 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
