Once there was an old ocean

Where anyone who saw it grew old with the sea

We were terrified of water

And of all the sons and daughters no one dared to see

And on the banks of the coastline I tracked a bleeding loved one who’s blood was mingling

In the saltiest of waters, where apparently they faltered, never again to be seen

So I cry

I tried

I cried

I scry

This old war ship has wounds and it won’t sail for nothing an old sailor said to me

And I was foolish not to listen and pay such close conscription at all the lies I believed

"But if you lend me some more labor and you put your name on paper we just might catch a breeze"

I know now he was not a captain now because of all my action I grow alone with the sea

But I've strangely come immune to the thought of seeing you

And the smell of cheap perfume with all the liquor I've consumed.

Theres no more beauty in this world (x2)

Because I've strangely come immune to the thought of seeing you

And the smell of cheap perfume with all the liquor I consume.

Theres no more beauty in this... (x2)

Theres no more beauty in this world

I've strangely come immune to the thought of seeing you

And the smell of sweet perfume is just a ring around the moon

Theres no more beauty in this world

Theres no more beauty in this... (x2)

Theres no more beauty in this world

(repeat)

I try

I cry

I tried

As eyes cry

Theres no more beauty in this... (x2)
Theres no more beauty in this world
