A Violent Noise

A Violent Noise - The xx

If I'm beating every hand away
No one stays
I've got so cautious
And now I choke 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
Try as I might
With every beat comes a violent noise
The melody's sung
But I don't know the voice
Now I go out
But every beat is a violent noise

You 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
Try as I might
With every beat comes a violent noise
The melody's sung
But I don't know the voice
Now I go out
But every beat is a violent noise
