Shine lyrics

I have traveled past your window many times

I find your face too hard to define

I can touch you, hollow thing, you plague my mind

I can never go outside

I will never go back to being blind

I have wondered what you're doing

Everyday since last I asked

Are your cheeks hollow?

I don't like your eyes dark

I need shine, I need shine, I need shine

Step away from my light, I need shine

I am honest, no, not a shouter

I am reformed, reborn, and forgiven

And you've been busy but you've missed me

And I've plagued your mind

You will never go outside

You will never go back to being blind

I need shine, I need shine, I need shine

Step away from my light, I need shine

I need shine, I need shine, I need shine

Step away from my light, I need shine
