Lyrics

there is a house by the sea, two jealous sisters, they're waiting for me, and one is laid on the floor, and one is changing the locks on the doors, and i've been buying the time on my knees, and i've been selling their blankets to bleed, around the house by the sea, the scent of roses and raspberry leaves, and there is smoke in my clothes, too much time with just smoke in my nose, and i've been making the meaning they lack, and i've been burning that book they come back too, there is a house by the sea, and an ocean between it and me, and like the shape of a wave, the jealous sisters will sing on my grave, and i've been living to run where they led, and i've been dying to rise from their bed, and i've been sparing my neck from their chain, and they've been changing the sound of my name, and i've been swimming to them in my sleep, and i've been dreaming our love and our freedom
