A Violent Noise Lyrics - The Xx

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 

Photos 

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
