I know you only wanted more,
and every day felt so long.
You stirred up some war,
but had no flag to fly,
when all I ever wanted was more.
A slingshot could not cut you down.
Slicing your heals could not slow you.
Blue eyes of war,
thrash all over.
When all I ever wanted,
was more.
Heart in your hand like a picture.
You said your wounds were all gifts.
Hollow sounds, wander around.
When all I ever wanted was more.
Medicine holds you in place.
The promise of never cuts your eyes.
You stand up straight,
into the fire.
Blue eyes of war,
conquer and divine.
When all I ever wanted was more.
