"When They Shut Me Down" lyrics
When they shut me down
Turn out all the lights and then there's not a sound
No breath
When my lungs give out
Softer is the beat of my heart and now I'm dead
How many times must a thought cross my mind
Of my final breath, I can't afford death
How many lives do we get to live
Yet this voice will only live in this head
Who's gonna shut me down
And when my body's broken down
Will you ever hear my voice again?
Suddenly fading now
Time will turn us all into dust
No one lives on
When they shut it down
When they shut you down
Life comes around
Like a passing train over horizons, then it's gone
How many lines could I write
Until there's no more to last in the words I sing to you
Who's gonna shut me down
And when my body's broken down
Will you ever hear my voice again?
Suddenly fading now
Time will turn us all into dust
No one lives on
When they shut you down
All I know
We've got this one life to live, you know
So don't let go
When tomorrow comes around
It could be the day they shut you down
Who's gonna shut me down
And when my body's broken down
Will you ever hear my voice again
When they shut me down
Turn out all the lights and then there's not a sound
No breath
When my lungs give out
Softer is the beat of my heart and now I'm dead
How many times must a thought cross my mind
Of my final breath, I can't afford death
How many lives do we get to live
Yet this voice will only live in this head
Who's gonna shut me down
And when my body's broken down
Will you ever hear my voice again?
Suddenly fading now
Time will turn us all into dust
No one lives on
When they shut it down
When they shut you down
Life comes around
Like a passing train over horizons, then it's gone
How many lines could I write
Until there's no more to last in the words I sing to you
Who's gonna shut me down
And when my body's broken down
Will you ever hear my voice again?
Suddenly fading now
Time will turn us all into dust
No one lives on
When they shut you down
All I know
We've got this one life to live, you know
So don't let go
When tomorrow comes around
It could be the day they shut you down
Who's gonna shut me down
And when my body's broken down
Will you ever hear my voice again
When they shut me down
