Macklemore - Arrows lyrics

[Produced by Ryan Lewis] [Directed by Jason Koenig & John Keatley] (Just escape!) [Verse 1: Chris Mansfield] 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! [Hook: Chris Mansfield] Arrows land, we're falling Arrows were falling Arrows land we're falling Arrows were falling [Verse 2: Chris Mansfield] The black rinse 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 the boots and we walk away I felt slightly connected to him And said now boy, now you own me [Hook: Chris Mansfield] Arrows land, we're falling Arrows were falling Arrows land we're falling Arrows were falling [Verse 3: Macklemore] Yeah, yeah He doesn't sleep So in truth he never wakes up Another day rushing to his d**h 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... [Hook: Chris Mansfield] Arrows land, we're falling Arrows were falling Arrows land we're falling Arrows were falling [Verse 4: Macklemore] Let me ash my issues Ashtray in this asphalt American spirits Black coffee, conversations and a pa**port 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 traveller all I got is my songs When the nights start blending into one another And I don't recall Tom Petty in this motherf**er 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 sh** 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 [Hook: Chris Mansfield] Arrows land, we're falling Arrows were falling Arrows land we're falling Arrows were falling [Outro: Chris Mansfield] I live this way I live this way I live this way I live this way I live this way I live this way I live this way I live this way (Just escape!)
