When They Shut Me Down

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 the thought cross my mind of my final breath

 We can't avoid 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 out

Time will turn us all into dust

And what lives on

When they shut you 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 the soul immortalized 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 out

Time will turn us all into dust

And what lives on

When they shut you down all i know is we've got this one life to let 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 my body's broken down will you ever hear my voice again when they shut me down
