i wonder if the things were just to be different, to spare myself the constant shame of my existence

[danjoebenwes]

Burning Bright......Shinedown

i feel like there is no need for conversation
some questions are better left without reason
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 the constant shame of my existence
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

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.....i'm burning....

i feel like there is no need for conversation....
