[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 siren sings
(Long as the siren sings)
Now I watch it all slip away, slip away
With my hands untied as the sky bleed red
[Interlude]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

[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 siren sings
(Long as the siren sings)
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]
(Wouldn't hold)
(Pulled you out to open sea)
(All that was gold)
(Long as the siren sings)
(Wouldn't hold)

[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
(Long as the siren sings)
Now I watch it all slip away, slip away
With my hands untied as the sky bleed red

[Outro]
(Wouldn't hold)
(Pulled you out to open sea)
(All that was gold)
(Long as the siren sings)
(Wouldn't hold)
