Burning Bright - Live from Washington State

[Intro]

This song is called "Burning Bright"

[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 that I am, that 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

The more the light shines through me

I pretend to close my eyes

The more the dark consumes me

I pretend that I am, that 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

The more the light shines through me

I pretend to close my eyes

The more the dark consumes me

I pretend that I am, that I'm burning

[Outro]

I feel like there is no need for conversation
