Lyrics
[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
[Verse 2]
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 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning
[Verse 6]
There's nothing ever wrong
But nothing's ever right
Such a cruel contradiction
I know I cross 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
[Verse 7]
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)
[Verse 8]
The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning
[Verse 9]
I feel like there is no need for conversation
