EXCOMMUNICATED from PSALM 13 by delikately

i walked out barefoot
the nave coughs up dust
a temple without witness
the candles drowned in their own wax
my hands shook against the stone
i drew the sign, but it scratched like chalk
on a slate already crowded with names oh...

how long must i wander blind
before you turn your face to mine?

o—give light to these eyes before they close in death
don’t cast me aside, i’m still your child
excommunicated—
i’m nailed to the threshold
i won’t let go, i won’t let go

i’ve been counting the hours
the walls keep none ah
my lips split dry still forming your name
the organ swallowed its own lungs
dust settled thick across its keys
i trace a cross through it
though i’ve never felt more alone oh...

how long will you turn from me?
how long must i wither in this place?

o—give light to these eyes before they close in death
don’t cast me aside, i’m still your child
excommunicated—
i’m nailed to the threshold
i won’t let go, i won’t let go

if you’ve hidden yourself
then bury me inside your absence
if you’ve turned away
do not turn away forever ah...

o—give light to these eyes before they close in death
don’t cast me aside, i’m still your child
excommunicated—
but i’m holding on i’m still holding on…
excommunicated—
excommunicated—

but i’m holding to the doorway with my last breath
