Sunlight - The Banner

Did I.

Were you held just a bit too hard

In my arms?

Were you kept just a bit too long?

Is it morning again?

So comes the sun so goes your eyes

Weren’t they mine?

You rise to your feet

Wipe the soil from your knees

Bound away with the breath from chest

As I lay vexed

Is it morning again?

God damn the sun

What calls to you that you can’t refuse?

Is it true?

Did I proclaim just a bit too loud?

Merely a beast who loves only as a beast knows how

Didn’t you want a gun?

Broken beaten no light no sun

Didn’t I destroy them all as you called?

Now your feet are firmly planted just the way I showed you how

Look at you now:

Straight and tall and with me left on the ground

Is it morning again?

Is it morning again?

Here I lay cold and supine with my mind

Nailed down in your shadow look how easily you flee

Something handsomer now

It’s no longer a beast that you need

Did I.

Were you held just a bit too hard

In my arms?

Were you kept just a bit too long?
