Burning Bright - Live from Washington State by Shinedown Lyrics

[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
