Hurt - Alone With The Sea (Vol. II) Lyrics

Once there was an old ocean
Where anyone who saw it grew old with the sea
And 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
Whose blood was mingling
In the saltiest of waters
'Cause apparently they'd faltered, never again to be seen

So I cry, "I tried"
I cry as I scry...

"This old war-ship has wounds
and it won't sail for nothin'" an old sailor said to me
And I was foolish not to listen
And paid such close conscription at all the lies I believed

"But if you lent me some more labor
And you put your name on paper we just might catch a breeze"
We know now he was not a captain
Now, because of all my actions, I grow alone with the sea

And I've strangely become immune to the thought of seeing you
And the smell of cheap perfume with all the liquor I've consumed

There's no more beauty in this world
There's no more beauty in this world

Because I've strangely become immune to the thought of seeing you
And the smell of cheap perfume with all the liquor I've consumed

There's no more beauty in this...
There's no more beauty in this...
There's no more beauty in this world

Because I've strangely become immune to the thought of seeing you
And the smell of cheap perfume is just a ring around the moon.

There's no more beauty in this...
There's no more beauty in this...
There's no more beauty in this world

There's no more beauty in this...
There's no more beauty in this...
There's no more beauty in this world

"I tried", I cried
I tried
And i scried

There's no more beauty in this...
There's no more beauty in this...
There's no more beauty in this world
