[Verse] Every eye on me like I’m the prize Clutchin' tight like I’m the reason they rise They don’t see the cracks in the gold-lined shell They don’t hear the echoes in my personal hell [Chorus] If they saw the light behind the shadowed glow Maybe they'd let me breathe let the current flow It ain’t all treasure it ain’t all gain This weight ain't glory it's a shackle of pain [Verse 2] Hands grab tight like they own my soul Chasin' dreams in a hollow black hole They never see what it costs to shine The burn the grind the scars are mine [Chorus] If they saw the light behind the shadowed glow Maybe they'd let me breathe let the current flow It ain’t all treasure it ain’t all gain This weight ain't glory it's a shackle of pain [Bridge] Take the crown I don’t want the throne Don’t need no kingdom don’t need no stone Strip the glitter leave the truth exposed I’m just a man in a world that’s closed [Chorus] If they saw the light behind the shadowed glow Maybe they'd let me breathe let the current flow It ain’t all treasure it ain’t all gain This weight ain't glory it's a shackle of pain
