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 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
