I stepped out of the green and into the gray
Traded the sunlight for the debt I gotta pay
It’s a circle of gold, but it feels like a chain
Running through my blood, burning through my brain
They see a hero, they see a light
But I’m just a shadow lost in the night
It’s calling my name from the palm of my hand
A kingdom of dust in a desperate land
I see the eye in the clouds
I hear the silence get loud
It’s pulling... it’s pulling...
I’m carrying a mountain in the palm of my hand
Walking through the ashes of a broken land!
HEY! HEY!
It’s a beautiful nightmare, a golden cage
The final word on a dusty page
I don't want the power, I don't want the crown
I’m just trying not to let the weight...
Drag me down.
Step by step, I’m fading out of sight
Becoming just a flicker in the middle of the night
They’re hunting for the fire, they’re hunting for the spark
But they don't know it’s lonelier to carry all the dark
My brothers are behind me, but I’m miles away
Lost inside a memory of a brighter day.
I see the eye in the clouds
I hear the silence get loud
It’s pulling... it’s pulling...
I’m carrying a mountain in the palm of my hand
Walking through the ashes of a broken land!
HEY! HEY!
It’s a beautiful nightmare, a golden cage
The final word on a dusty page
I don't want the power, I don't want the crown
I’m just trying not to let the weight...
Drag me down.
Is it mine to keep?
Is it mine to lose?
When the path is set,
There’s nothing left to choose.
HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!
I’m carrying a mountain in the palm of my hand
Walking through the ashes of a broken land!
HEY! HEY!
It’s a beautiful nightmare, a golden cage
The final word on a dusty page
I don't want the power, I don't want the crown
I’m just trying not to let the weight...
Drag me down.
Drag me down...
Precious...
