Soundtrack of My Life

I haven't posted in a few days.  Mostly because I have a hard time putting my thoughts into words, and putting those words into cohesive sentences.  One constant thing in my life has been my love of music.  And with those two thoughts going through my head, I figured that I'd start a recurring theme about songs that have had some kind of major impact on my life in some way or that I feel can really relate to on some level.  I'll try to do it at least once a week.

The song for this week is "Burning Bright" by Shinedown.

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

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

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

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 I'm burning

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

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 I'm burning 

I feel like there is no need for conversation
