[Verse 1]
Who builds a world upon a man?
My ship has sailed, this ship has sailed
It was loaded with jewels and gems
Wave my vices farewell for the best
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah)
[Chorus]
The careless knot I knew wouldn't hold
(Wouldn’t hold)
Pulled you out to open sea
(Pulled you out to open sea)
Silence drained us on all that was golden
(All that was gold)
You got the worst of me
(You got the worst of me)
Shouting at the top of my lungs
(Top of my lungs)
As loud as the sirens sing
(Sing)
Now I watch it all slip away, slip away
With my hands untied as the sky bleed red
[Verse 2]
As empty as your open chest
I roam the hills deliriously
Walk in the shatters at the bottom of our ocean
You're drifting off to leave me clean, ooh
[Chorus]
The careless knot I knew wouldn't hold
(Wouldn’t hold)
Pulled you out to open sea
(Pulled you out to open sea)
Silence drained us on all that was golden
(All that was gold)
You got the worst of me
(You got the worst of me)
Shouting at the top of my lungs
(Top of my lungs)
As loud as the sirens sing
(Long as the sirens sing)
Spiralling out of control
I had to set you free
Now I watch it all slip away, slip away
With my hands untied as the sky bleed red
[Interlude]
[Outro]
(Wouldn't hold)
(Pulled you out to open sea)
(All that was gold)
(Long as the sirens sing)
(Watch it all slip away, slip away with my)
(Wouldn't hold)
Who builds a world upon a man?
(Pulled you out to open sea)
(Wouldn't hold)
(Top of my lungs)
(Long as the sirens sing)
