01. Turn It Down (Built Too Loud)

[Verse 1] Mic cord wrapped in my fist Cold block against my spine Boot heel cracks the concrete Counting off in time You said I was too much Said I crossed the line Hallway lockers ringing “Tone it down” every time [Pre-Chorus] You said turn it down You said turn it down [Chorus] Built too loud You said turn it down Built too loud Look at me now [Verse 2] Garage air thick with dust Amp dial buried in red Dad’s truck shook the driveway With every word I said They laughed at my sharp edges Said girls don’t sound like that I wanted it bigger than this town I wanted it louder than flat [Pre-Chorus] You said turn it down You said turn it down [Chorus] Built too loud You said turn it down Built too loud Look at me now [Bridge] Cinderblock, stage lights, sweat in my eyes Heartbeat punching the monitor mics Part of me shakes when the room goes black Part of me likes that [Bridge] You wanted me quiet You wanted me small I don’t bend easy I don’t bend at all [Final Chorus] Built too loud You said turn it down Built too loud Look at me now Built too loud You said turn it down Built too loud Look at me now
