Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I'm beatin' 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
[Verse 2]
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?
[Verse 3]
Now I go out but every beat is a violent noise
Try as I might, with every beat comes a violent noise
The melody's sung and I don't know the voice
Now I go out but every beat is a violent noise
[Verse 4]
You been stayin' out late tryin' your best to escape
I hope you find what you're lookin' for
Let a moment take place without runnin' away
I hope you'll silence the noise
[Verse 5]
How could eyes this wide lose sight of a world outside?
I've looked away, cowardice
[Verse 6]
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?
[Verse 7]
Now I go out but every beat is a violent noise
Try as I might, with every beat comes a violent noise
The melody's sung and I don't know the voice
Now I go out but every beat is a violent noise
