Lyrics

I have travelled past your window many times
I find your face too hard to define
I can't touch you hollow thing
You plagued my mind
I can never go outside
I will never go back to being blind

I have wondered what you're doing ever 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, 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
