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
