(I watch it all slip away, slip away)
(In the most beautiful sight, my worst nightmare)
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
Ah, ah-ah
The careless knot I knew wouldn't hold
Pulled it out to open sea
Pirates drained it on all that was gold
But they got the worst of me
And I watch it all slip away, slip away
In the most beautiful sight, my worst nightmare
Empty shell and open chest
Memories from previously, ooh
All old possessions left behind of my ocean
They're drifting off to leave me clean
The careless knot I knew wouldn't hold
Pulled it out to open sea (Pulled it out to open sea)
Pirates drained it on all that was gold
But they got the worst of me (They got the worst of me)
In my pockets
Stirs up the life in me (Stirs up the life in me)
And build it all again
As I watch it all slip away, slip away
In the most beautiful sight, my worst nightmare
I watch it all slip away, slip away
I watch it all slip away, slip away
I watch it all slip away, slip away
In the most beautiful sight, my worst nightmare
I watch it all slip away, slip away
I watch it all slip away, slip away
I watch it all slip away, slip away
In the most beautiful sight, my worst nightmare
