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
