Lyrics for Shine

I have traveled past your window many times I find your face too hard to define I can't 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 every day 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 now, 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
