[Verse 1]
That house broke my back
That house I built skinned my knuckles
That house I built picked my pockets
And buckled every joint
It pointed from youth and any truth I knew
Towards a painted sundown on a break your nose horizon
It isn't mine, that house, that house I built I realised
Turn my eyes to barnacles beneath a leaden hat of daily shame
[Chorus]
I cannot speak its name but I would walk into its mouth and I would breakfast in the belly of the whale
I cannot speak its name but I would walk into its mouth and I would breakfast in the belly of the whale
I cannot speak its name but I would walk into its mouth and I would breakfast in the belly of the whale
I cannot speak its name but I would walk into its mouth and I would breakfast in the belly of the whale
[Verse 2]
That house I built skinned my knuckles
That house I built picked my pockets
That house broke my back
And buckled every joint
It pointed from youth and any truth I knew
Towards a painted sundial breaking the horizon
It isn't mine, that house, that house I built I realised
Turn my eyes to barnacles beneath a leaden hat of daily shame
[Chorus]
I cannot speak its name but I would walk into its mouth and I would breakfast in the belly of the whale
I cannot speak its name but I would walk into its mouth and I would breakfast in the belly of the whale
I cannot speak its name but I would walk into its mouth and I would breakfast in the belly of the whale
I cannot speak its name but I would walk into its mouth and I would breakfast in the belly of the whale
