Basilica
Dear You LP/CD
Sunken eyed best friend of mine.
Steps of stone, morning bright blue.
It's raining in your room.
Dewy palm, cemetery lawn.
It's raining in your room.
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.
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.
Angel tears, bask sweet.
Angel eyes on you.
They love all that they see.
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.
Angel tears, bask sweet.
Angel eyes on you.
They love all that they see.

outro with modified instrumentation and the lyrics
"Just don't leave me alone."
