Lyrics

[01:10.01] There is a house by the sea
[01:12.93] Two jealous sisters they're waiting for me
[01:17.42] And one is laid on the floor
[01:21.38] And one is changing the locks on the doors
[01:25.61] And I've been buying the time on my knees
[01:34.30] And I've been selling their blankets to bleed (on)
[01:42.83] Around the house by the sea
[01:45.63] The scent of roses and raspberry leaves
[01:49.80] And there is smoke in my clothes
[01:53.96] Too much time with just smoke in my nose
[01:58.87] And I've been making the meaning they lack
[02:08.78] And I've been burning that book they come back too
[02:32.25] There is a house by the sea
[02:35.67] And an ocean between it and me
[02:39.33] And like the shape of a wave
[02:43.11] The jealous sisters will sing on my grave
[02:49.11] And I've been living to run where they led
[02:57.51] And I've been dying to rise from their bed
[03:04.22] And I've been sparing my neck from their chain
[03:12.72] And they've been changing the sound of my name
[03:21.30] And I've been swimming to them in my sleep
[03:29.88] And I've been dreaming our love and our freedom
