Burning Bright

Shinedown

I feel like there is no need for conversation

Some questions are better left without a reason

And I would rather reveal myself than my situation

Now and then I consider my hesitation



The more the light shines through me

I pretend to close my eyes

The more the dark consumes me

I pretend I'm burning, burning bright



I wonder if the things I did were just to be different

To spare myself of the constant shame of my existence

And I would surely redeem myself in my desperation

Here and now I'll express my situation



The more the light shines through me

I pretend to close my eyes

The more the dark consumes me

I pretend I'm burning bright

The more the light shines through me

I prentend to close my eyes

The more the dark consumes me

I pretend I'm burning



There's nothing ever wrong, but nothing's ever right

Such a cruel contradiction

I know I crossed the line, it's not easy to define

I'm born to indecision

There's always something new, some path I'm supposed to choose

With no particular rhyme or reason



The more the light shines through me

I pretend to close my eyes

The more the dark consumes me

I pretend I'm burning bright

The more the light shines through me

I pretend to close my eyes

The more the dark consumes me

I pretend I'm burning



I feel like there is no need for conversation
