Jessie Lee Thetford - House of Bones

I never knew how to love
I never knew how to give it up
All my wants
All my schemes
All my hate
And all my greed
Until it all caved in on me

I never knew how to die
I never knew how to say goodbye
And let it go
This life I know
Meaningless things
Purposeless dreams
Until it all caved in on me

This house of bones
Wouldn’t stand for long
Oh once the sea
Crashed in on me
It washed away
All my decay
Clinging to stone
Build my new home
Build my new home

I never knew that you were love
I never knew that love meant giving up
The highest seat
For washing feet
A bleeding brow
And laying down
Your life for one as lost as me

This house of bones
Wouldn’t stand for long
Oh once the sea
Crashed in on me
It washed away
All my decay
Clinging to stone
Build my new home… Oh

Build it with hope
Hope in your power
The power to save
This sinful slave
That I might learn
To love like you
Deep as the sea
Wash over me
Wash over me
