[Intro | palm-muted guitar | dry close vocal] Long day Wrong mood One more person asking me To play it cool [Drums enter] I got a better idea [Verse 1 | restrained vocal | tight rhythm guitar] Keys hit the table Boots hit the floor I carried everybody’s problems Through the door Held my tongue Till my jaw went numb Now the room is empty And the night has come Plug in the cable Turn the dial right Let the first chord Cut through the quiet I don’t need advice I don’t need sympathy I need six strings And volume therapy [Pre-Chorus | rising drums | vocal opens] Turn it past polite Past keeping it inside If I can’t say it calmly I can sing it amplified [Chorus | full guitars | anthemic vocal | stacked harmonies] Volume therapy Turn it up for me Let the walls shake Till the pressure leaves Volume therapy Loud is what I need If I can’t breathe in silence Let the speakers breathe for me Turn it up Turn it up Till I’m finally free Volume therapy (Volume therapy) [Post-Chorus | guitar response | gang vocals] Turn it up (Up, up) Let it out (Out, out) [Verse 2 | driving bass | stronger vocal] Phone keeps buzzing Leave it facedown Anybody needing something Can wait till I come down Kick drum in my heartbeat Feedback in my veins Every crash of the cymbal Takes a little weight away No careful wording No counting to ten Give me one more chorus Then I’ll try calm again Maybe I’m dramatic Maybe that’s the key Nothing fixes tension Like volume therapy [Pre-Chorus | toms build | octave harmony enters] Turn it past polite Past keeping it inside If I can’t say it calmly I can sing it amplified [Chorus | full guitars | anthemic vocal | wider harmonies] Volume therapy Turn it up for me Let the walls shake Till the pressure leaves Volume therapy Loud is what I need If I can’t breathe in silence Let the speakers breathe for me Turn it up Turn it up Till I’m finally free Volume therapy (Volume therapy) [Instrumental | distorted guitar solo | drums push forward] [Breakdown | half-time | bass and exposed lead vocal] I’m not trying to break anything I’m trying not to break So let the amplifier carry Everything I couldn’t say Let the low end hit my ribs Let the high notes cut clean I walked in full of static Now listen to me— [Build | rising feedback | snare crescendo] One Two Three [Final Chorus | full energy | octave harmony | bigger drums] VOLUME THERAPY TURN IT UP FOR ME LET THE WHOLE ROOM SHAKE TILL THE PRESSURE LEAVES Volume therapy Loud is what I need Now I’m breathing with the rhythm And the speakers breathe with me Turn it up Turn it up Till I’m finally free Volume therapy (Volume therapy) [Outro | clean guitar returns | softened vocal] Long day Clear head Turn the amplifier off [Brief pause] Not yet
