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 mightThere 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 downAll of the fire I've swallowed All of the sparks that went dark in my gut I am always burning upDress 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 hurtThey will consume your sweet resistance And they'll carry your heart in their teeth But I am always feeding them The ugliest parts of meAll of the words I've swallowed All of the sharp things I've kept in my mouth I am always bleeding outTake 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 youI 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 outSo 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 ashAll of the ire I've swallowed All of the coals that still sit in my gut I am always burning upTake 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
