I wonder if the things I did were just to be different
I pretend I'm burning bright
The more the dark consumes me
There's nothing ever wrong but nothing's ever right
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
The more the light shines through me
Here and now I'll express, my situation
I pretend to close my eyes
I pretend I'm burning bright
And I would rather reveal myself than my situation
I know I cross the lines it's not easy to define
There's always something new some path I'm supposed to choose
I pretend to close my eyes
I'm born to indecision
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning
Now and then I consider, my hesitation
I pretend I'm burning
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
The more the light shines through me
Such a cruel contradiction
The more the light shines through me
The more the light shines through me
The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
With no particular rhyme or reason
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning, burning bright
To spare myself of the constant shame of my existence
And I would surely redeem myself in my desperation
