Basilica - Jawbreaker

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

It’s raining in your room

Angel tears, bask sweet

Angel eyes on you

They love all that they see
