Part by part I go dissect each little letter
Till day wastes into night
Bit by bit I fall farther as words consume me
You've got me locked tight
Live in memories
Open up the gates
Long for reverie
And my escape
Shut me off, Turn me down
Lower now, all the sounds of you
Shut me off, Turn me down
Lower now all the sounds of you
I don't want all these thoughts of you
I still replay the day you said 'It's over'
You couldn't meet my eyes
And you wouldn't explain so I'm crumbling inside for the answers
Though I pretend I'm fine
Tied in memories
All my wounds remain
Long for reverie
And my escape
Shut me off, Turn me down
Lower now, all the sounds of you
Shut me off, Turn me down
Lower now, all the sounds of you
I don't want all these thought of you
So all systems go
As the volume grows
You can change your mind
You can't change what's in mine
If I could clear it all away
I'd push a button and erase
But I can't overwrite
All that went so wrong
Just shut me off, Turn me down
Lower now, all the sounds of you
Shut me off, and turn me down
Lower now, all the sounds of you
I don't want all these thought of you
I don’t want all these thought of you
