Lyrics

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 beast 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 Honey, I dare you I watched a weed usurp the garden And it poisoned the rest of the crops 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 Honey, I dare you Take me to war, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Take me to war, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Take me to war, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Take me to war, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
