Excavate (feat. Saint Claire)

Excavate - Macklemore/Saint Claire

Written by：Saint Claire/Macklemore

Fill my lungs up pour my heart out peel my bones away

Grab my window shut my shutters excavate my pain

If I could read the world my notebook and these thoughts in it

Would they judge me or love me for what I've written

Tryna get closer to spirit that enters the body

It's the vessel like I'm not in it

In fifty something years I won't be here

There'll be a kid with some headphones covering his ears

Walking 'round a hallway dreaming of ideas

Find himself in the sound 'cause music is a mirror

What you looking for what you headed towards

What's your name worth when they mention yours

When you leave here are you stepping forward

Can you remember your intention when they question yours

They're gonna question yours they're gonna question yours

I've been at rock bottom and I'm headed north

If you don't love yourself what's the respect for

If you don't love life the check won't correct yours

Excavate

Fill my lungs up pour my heart out peel my bones away

Grab my window shut my shutters excavate my pain

And I found peace

And I found peace

And I found peace

I had this vision of my death

Surrounded by people I love and respect

And the baby blue Cadillac hearse

Pulling me 'round the block that I rep

The greatest fear that I've ever kept is dying with regrets

Like was I just alive for success

Or did I leave a better life for the rest

My greatest achievement isn't the dollars

My greatest achievement isn't the followers

My greatest achievement isn't the accolades

My greatest achievement is my daughter

Waking up in the morning being a father

Watching the light kiss her eyelids

Hearing her sing along to chance

And being like yeah that's my kid

The light started to glow

And the saxophone funk called train started to blow

Tender laying in the snow turn on my headphones

Couple miles to go before I run out of road

Excavate

Fill my lungs up pour my heart out peel my bones away

Grab my window shut my shutters excavate my pain

And I found peace

And I found peace

And I found peace

And I found peace

And I found peace

Hold me up into the light and study every part of me

I'm an open book no I don't mind but sometimes I'm hard to read

Just flesh and bone I'm headed home

But this life is so hard to leave

But who am I when they cut the lights and nobody's watching me

Hold me up into the light and study every part of me

I'm an open book no I don't mind but sometimes I'm hard to read

Just flesh and bone I'm headed home

But this life is so hard to leave

But who am I when they cut the lights and nobody's watching me
