The Beautiful Noise Lyrics

we start off in this life
in paradise
we only know the joy
the beautiful noise
given the open book
the sink-line and hook
a world for us to take
yeah, we took the bait
we could've been
we could've been
anyone, anything

the finger points to those
who might've chose
a path different than that
which failure closed
we could've been
we could've been
anyone, anything

think of the person you wanna be
look at who you've become
lie to the face in the vanity
you're not the only one
i see it in your eyes
the newness of life
still uncorrupted by
what i've become

i could've been
i could've been
anyone...anything...
