Arrows

[Verse 1: Fences]
Just escape!
My old man,
He kicked me out,
He kicked me out,
When I told him that I lived this way.
I lived this way, I lived this way,
I lived this way, I lived this way,
I lived this way, I lived this way.
He doesn't own me,
He doesn't own me,
He doesn't own me.
Just escape!

[Chorus: Fences]
Arrows land, we're falling,
Arrows were falling.
Arrows land, we're falling,
Arrows were falling.

[Verse 2: Fences]
The black rims align your face
Like a deer drinking water in a picture frame,
I swear to God, I've seen those eyes,
The back of my lids when closing mine.
With clasped hands, we shake it out,
We shake it out,
Lace up boots and we walk away,
I felt slightly connected to him,
And said, ‘Now, boy, now you own me!'

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: Macklemore]
Yeah, yeah!
He doesn't sleep
So, in truth, he never wakes up,
Another day rushing to his death,
Out of breath on the treadmill of the famous.
He makes mistakes, tells stories to his paintbrush,
And when the world finally sees his art,
He wishes that he never would have made it.
Just escape, just escape ricochets,
And eclipses faith; living in a city
With a grey umbrella over your shoulders,
And you're becoming suffocated by the weight,
Can't hit those breaks,
This is what you wanted, huh?
But you got it all in vein ‘cause you forgot who you are,
Right as the world learned your name it goes...

[Chorus]

[Verse 4: Macklemore]
Let me ash my issues,
Ashtray is this asphalt,
American spirit –
Black coffee, conversations and a passport.
When God gives you everything, everything
That you ever asked for, and it still looks a bit different
Than when you pictured it on that back porch.
And I'm gone world traveler, all I got is my songs,
When the nights start blending into one another
And I don't recall Tom Petty in this motherfucker,
All I wanna do is free fall,
Yeah, free fall!
And I'm so caught up,
I'm caught up, I'm caught up,
And I'm so tired, swore that I wouldn't
Stare into the light,
And guess who tried it.
Shit, I'm blinded by this lime light!
This lime light, it's all night, it's all day,
These bright lights, these bright lights,
Once you turn ‘em on
You can't walk away, don't die here.
Don't die here!
I came too far, I'm too great,
But I'm too scared and I'm too afraid
To stare this world into its face.
I'm almost home, I'm driving lost,
My eyelids closed, light turns to grey,
The cameras off, the show is over,
You close the curtains and just escape.

[Chorus]

[Outro: Fences]
I live this way. [x7]
Just escape!
