Burning Bright

I was listening to Burning Bright - which is Brent's song to his grandmother. He said he was one of his most favorite people - he would spend the night at her house & watch the stars. (She died before his first album Leave A Whisper came out) This picture is granny Akita (the white one) with the young Shinedown Akita (since this was from Brent's childhood) The little yellow spots are fireflies (in the grass) & the other spots are stars

Burning Bright lyrics:
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, burning bright

There's nothing ever wrong but nothing's ever right
Such a cruel contradiction
I know I cross the lines its 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, burning bright
