Basilica

Jawbreaker
(album: Dear You)

Sunken eyed best friend of mine.
Why do you sit so still, still shaking?
Superhero sapped of all powers.
I´ll kneel beside you, watch you for hours.
There´s an angel on you leaning down to kiss your cheek.
Feathers floating on air.
This is my prayer for you.
Steps of stone, morning bright blue.
Stick of flame, a candle winks at you.
In the pew, head down I´m crying.
I think you have thoughts of dying.
I´m eclipsing them now.
Calling all allies down.
I´m consumed by your eyes.
Keep them open and full.
It´s raining in your room.
Angel tears, bask sweet.
Angel eyes on you.
They love all that they see.
Dewy palm, cemetery lawn.
Walk alone in gardens of loss.
You can´t have a flower of stone.
Never let this soil come between us.
I´m asking you on a date for the rest of your life.
