Karaoké Take Me to War (live) The Crane Wives

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 wrangle the beasts with words

It's a graceless dance of epithets we learn to make somewhat 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

Take me to war

Hoo ooh ooh ooh hoo ah

Take me to war

Hoo ooh hoo ooh hoo

Take me to war

Hoo hoo hoo ooh hoo ooh ah

Take me to war

Hoo ooh ooh ooh ah
