Shut It Down Lyrics by Light the Torch

The Beauty of Destruction

2014

[Verse 1]
This war should have ended so long ago
But turning back the hands of time is useless
This war is never ending, it's all we know
We've wasted more than just our heart and souls
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Staring down the barrel of a gun
Visions and flashes and reflections of the monster I've become
Then I realize
[Chorus]
Something more calling upon me
To leave this life of death
Shut it down
Before the light is failing
Now I'm holding on
I'm reaching for
I'm something more
Shut it down
[Verse 2]
This fight has made me weary, now I must rise
Or everything that I've created dies
This fight, it seems eternal, but now I know
That through it all, I'll never be alone
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Separation from everything I've stood for
Became the tomb that embraced and buried me
But I hear a voice
[Chorus]
Something more calling upon me
To leave this life of death
Shut it down
Before the light is failing
Now I'm holding on
I'm reaching for
I'm something more
Shut it down
[Bridge]
Contemplation of self-destruction erasing the weight that I bear
Leaving a trail of existence that now remains cold to the touch and despair
Rise and face my demons
I will suffer no more
[Chorus]
Something more calling upon me
To leave this life of death
Shut it down
Before the light is failing
Now I'm holding on
I'm reaching for
I'm something more
Shut it down
[Outro]
Shut it down
Shut it down
Shut it down
Shut it down
Shut it down
Shut it down
