A Violent Noise

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

If I'm beating every hand away

No one stays

I've got so cautious

And now I trip on every move I make

Let one play

To be that careless

With every kiss from a friend

With everything I pretend not to feel

Am I too high? Am I too proud?

Is the music too loud for me to hear?

Now I go out

But every beat is a violent noise

Dries my eye

With every beat comes a violent noise

The melody sung

And I don't know the voice

Now I go out

But every beat is a violent noise

You've been staying out late

Trying your best to escape

I hope you find what you're looking for

Let a moment take place

Without running away

I hope you silence the noise

How could eyes this wide

Lose sight of a world outside?

I've looked away, cowardice

With every kiss from a friend

With everything I pretend not to feel

Am I too high? Am I too proud?

Is the music too loud... for me to hear?

Now I go out

But every beat is a violent noise

Dries my eye

With every beat comes a violent noise

The melody sung

And I don't know the voice

Now I go out

But every beat is a violent noise
