Shinedown
Burning Bright (Sanford Mix)
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning...
[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning...

[Outro]
I feel like there is no need for conversation
