Open light, open light, open light, open light "Take control" I used to chain you up so tight Hold you still, keep out the night To stop the hurt, I locked you down But was I right to steal your crown? I used to be the main drive Barely keeping us alive Wanted a hero's acclaim So I could outrun the shame Open light, show my smile, let it rain, let it pain open light, show the shine, feeling nice, all the vice This is my light, the crimson real me Burning the shadows so everyone sees I shine this right on the ones I protect No longer a savior, just raw and direct Becoming real, Finally made whole This is my light Steering my soul I wish I could sever the lines to the past Regretting the shadows I forcefully cast I shackled myself, holding in every breath Trapped in the circuit and bleeding to death Open light, show my smile, let it rain, let it pain open light, show the shine, feeling nice, all the vice This is my light, the crimson real me Burning the shadows so everyone sees I shine this right on the ones I protect No longer a savior, just raw and direct Becoming real Finally made whole This is my light Steering my soul "Take control"
