The path is paved With past mistakes The faceless dance On the dead in the way My heart beats like A lonely voice My head is full of noise If I had any sense Of where to go I'd give up leading And I'd follow My heart beats like A lonely voice My head is full of noise I hear the teenage laughter Of a cruel little girl And a conscience That I can't control A million voices Trying to be heard I can't decipher A single word My heart beats like A lonely voice My head is full of noise The bones and bodies Underfoot all shattered By the time it takes Still haunting Waiting on the wind They call And no one hears I hear the teenage laughter Of a cruel little girl And a conscience That I can't control A million voices Trying to be heard I can't decipher A single word My heart beats like A lonely voice My head is full of noise I hear the scuffle And I feel every punch I hear I hear Altogether too much My heart beats like A lonely voice My head is full of noise
