Steal My Shine - Crucifix

One day I’m gon' finally be

Everything that I ever dreamed

So let the world try and hold me back

I keep my head up at the stars and hustle until I get there

Cuz nothing in life, nobody in life

Is gonna steal my shine

Nothing’s gonna steal my shine

Since I left the womb I was destined for greatness

But never thought the road to greatness would be painless

Yeah I feel success when the world knows what my name is

But being great is so much more than just being famous

Now I’m living in this dream but the passion’s gone

It’s like living in a mansion when the lights ain’t on

I used to think I’d have it all once I reached my dreams

But now I’m standing in the grass and it ain’t quite as green

Cuz everything I ever wanted is a breath away

But all of it could fade in a single day

So what’s the fame?

I’m over that

Cuz sooner or later every man’s fame fades to black

So I look to the sky

Think about the purpose that could pass me by

Livin' everyday like I’m never gon' die

If I ain’t wise then what the hell am I?

I think about the pain that I’ve been through

And if I could go back then I would do it

Cuz I know all the pain is for nothing if praying for something

To keep me from suffering is only gonna be another reason I ain’t gon' shine

One day I’m gon' finally be

Everything that I ever dreamed

So let the world try and hold me back

I keep my head up at the stars and hustle until I get there

Cuz nothing in life, nobody in life

Is gonna steal my shine

Nothing’s gonna steal my shine

Spotlight overdose

Ask yourself what it is you want the most…

A minute in this game, chasing all the fame?

Hiding all your pain just so people know your name?

Then all the sudden that fame is gone

And your shine is dead like a forgotten song

When the fans don’t scream and your phone don’t ring

And you’ve sold your soul to a devil in a suit for a deal and an empty dream

What you got left but just a memory of what you used to be?

If life’s a breath then let it echo through eternity!

Pour out my pain and suffering, write out my broken heart

A song for every scar like every scar’s a gift from God

I want to shine light that

Ain’t never gonna fade when the stage goes black

When everything I love makes pain my past

And I can be the reason that I never look back

I think about the dirt that I’ve been through

And all the good in my life that I did do

So I’m living for the moment, never think about the struggle

I don’t ever wanna give another minute to a record label stealing my shine

One day I’m gon' finally be

Everything that I ever dreamed

So let the world try and hold me back

I keep my head up at the stars and hustle until I get there

Cuz nothing in life, nobody in life

Is gonna steal my shine

Nothing’s gonna steal my shine
