Macklemore, Saint Claire - Excavate (feat. Saint Claire)(2017)

[00:18.63] Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
[00:27.15] Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain
[00:36.10] If I could read the world my notebook and these thoughts in it
[00:38.72] Would they judge me or love me for what I've written?
[00:40.74] Tryna get closer to spirit that enters the body
[00:43.80] It's the vessel like I'm not in it
[00:45.74] In fifty-something years, I won't be here
[00:48.12] There'll be a kid with some headphones coverinG his ears
[00:50.07] WalkinG 'round a hallway, dreaminG of ideas
[00:52.31] Find himself in the sound 'cause music is a mirror
[00:54.63] What you looking for?
[00:55.82] What you headed towards?
[00:57.03] What's your name worth when they mention yours?
[00:59.11] When you leave here, are you stepping forward?
[01:01.24] Can you remember your intention when they question yours?
[01:03.68] They're gonna question yours, they're gonna question yours
[01:05.80] I've been to rock bottom and I'm headed North
[01:08.28] If you don't love yourself, what's the respect for?
[01:10.59] If you don't love life, the check won't correct yours
[01:12.75] Excavate
[01:14.34] Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
[01:18.82]
[01:22.29] Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain
[01:30.04] And I found peace
[01:34.61] And I found peace
[01:39.29] And I found peace
[01:40.95] I had this vision of my death
[01:42.12] Surrounded by people I love and respect
[01:44.42] In the baby blue Cadillac hearse
[01:46.64] PullinG me 'round the block that I rep
[01:49.08] The greatest fear that I've ever kept
[01:51.64] Is dying with regrets
[01:54.08] Like was I just alive for success?
[01:56.14] Or did I leave a better life for the rest?
[01:58.34] My greatest achievement isn't the dollars
[02:01.79] My greatest achievement isn't the followers
[02:04.09] My greatest achievement isn't the accolades
[02:06.55] My greatest achievement is my daughter
[02:08.34] WakinG up in the morning, beinG a father
[02:10.41] WatchinG the light kiss her eyelids
[02:13.43] HearinG her sing along to Chance
[02:15.96] And beinG like, "Yeah, that's my kid"
[02:18.25] The light started to glow
[02:19.55] And the saxophone from Coltrane started to blow
[02:21.70] Tender, laying in the snow, turn on my headphones
[02:23.56] Couple miles to go before I run out of road
[02:26.00] Excavate
[02:27.39] Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
[02:35.26] Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain
[02:43.38] And I found peace
[02:48.07] And I found peace
[02:52.42] And I found peace
[02:56.16]
[03:03.02] Hold me up into the light and study every part of me
[03:06.87] I'm an open book, no, I don't mind, but sometimes I'm hard to read
[03:11.26] Just flesh and bone, I'm headed home, but this life is so hard to leave
[03:15.84] But who am I when they cut the lights and nobody's watching me?
[03:20.06] Hold me up into the light and study every part of me
[03:25.01] I'm an open book, no, I don't mind, but sometimes I'm hard to read
[03:30.06] Just flesh and bone, I'm headed home, but this life is so hard to leave
[03:34.28] But who am I when they cut the lights and nobody's watching me?
