lyrics

Load up your guns, and...
Sharpen your knives
We're headed to war
On this crescent moon night

Breathe it in deep, it's the closest
You'll ever get to being free

Take these words and put them in the dirt
You can't say it doesn't hurt
Swallow your pride for heaven sake
It takes a smaller heart than this to break

This is what you called for
You swore it to high hell
The smell of it controls you
But it won't take me as well

Breathe it in deep, it's the closest
You'll ever get to being free

So take these words and put them in the dirt
You can't say it doesn't hurt
Swallow your pride for heaven sake
It takes a smaller heart than this to break, Yeah

The cards are on the table
We're both riding luck
Soon we'll be unable
To crawl out from the muck

Breathe it in deep, it's the closest
You'll ever get to being free

So take these words and put them in the dirt
You can't say it doesn't hurt
Swallow your pride for heaven sake
It takes a smaller heart than this to break

So take these words and put them in the dirt
You can't say it doesn't hurt
Swallow your pride for heaven sake
It takes a smaller heart than this to break

A smaller heart than this to break
A smaller heart than this to break
A smaller heart than this to break
