Burning Bright

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 pretend 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, yeah
 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 (I pretend)
 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
