A Violent Noise
THE XX · I See You 2017 · Track 04 of 13
Music: Jamie xx, Oliver Sim, Romy · Lyrics: Oliver Sim, Romy
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
