TAIL LIGHTS

[Chorus: Morray] I see a fork in the road I don't know what path I'm takin' But my compass is broke And I don't know if I'ma make it Yeah, yeah Told a lot of lies, pushed the love aside Tried to drive away, but my hands are tied Never givin' up, always stay and fight for me [Verse 1: Macklemore] I been drivin' this road, I been drivin' this road Uh-huh, fork in the middle, got two choices to go Give the kids a kiss for me if I don't make it home When I was growin' up, we didn't have a diagnosis We just kept takin' more to get the serotonin Got older and all of my homies overdosin' And therapy wasn't an option to process our emotions Mama always said, "What you afraid of, boy?" "Everything's good, you got angels, boy" "Closed mouths go hungry, better raise your voice" God-sized hole, no replacin' the void We create out of chaos, the music is a seance The land that our ancestors' graves on My favorite artists are my two little girls I see freedom first hand in what they make with their crayons [Pre-Chorus: Macklemore] The light, it was always on glow When I was lost I was on the right road Tail lights ahead as I drive slow Just a right turn then I find my way home [Chorus: Morray] I see a fork in the road I don't know what path I'm takin' But my compass is broke And I don't know if I'ma make it Yeah, yeah Told a lot of lies, pushed the love aside Tried to drive away, but my hands are tied Never givin' up, always stay and fight for me [Post-Chorus: Morray] I'll follow your tail lights To wherever they may lead I'll follow your tail lights I'll try and match your speed [Verse 2: Macklemore] Virgil said that when you make it to the penthouse It's your duty to send the elevator back down Somewhere along the highway I got lost And I realized God was ahead of me all along My mind on my business, grind my only mission Most High, the messenger wasn't quiet enough to listen My time was occupied, when even dinin' with my children It's like me, myself, and I, and I lost sight of the vision On borrowed time, livin' in extra innings Industry survives, I'm glorifyin' the millions The playlists and the streams, the album bundles and tees But they cannot manufacture what resides in the spirit The Phantom ain't enough if you don't remember all of the countless rides in the Civic The moments of failure that proceeded this Not givin' a fuck about other people's perception That's what freedom is and that's what I'ma teach my kids Any moment, peace is available, you just gotta remember to breathe it in and finally I can breathe again Anyway, man, I'ma roll the dice God got the wheel regardless of where I go in life [Pre-Chorus: Macklemore] I know tonight, it was always on glow And when I was lost, I was on the right road Tail lights ahead as I drive slow Just a right turn then I find my way home [Chorus: Morray] I see a fork in the road I don't know what path I'm takin' But my compass is broke And I don't know if I'ma make it Yeah, yeah Told a lot of lies, pushed the love aside Tried to drive away, but my hands are tied Never givin' up, always stay and fight for me [Post-Chorus: Morray] I'll follow your tail lights To wherever they may lead I'll follow your tail lights I'll try and match your speed [Outro: Macklemore] I don't use turn signals Windows tinted, got a perfect view World's endin', I'ma burn with you Sun goin' down, gotta turn in soon, oh yeah Lookin' in my rear view glass Learnin' from the past with a beautiful crash Write my name in the dust on the dash It fades, but the memories last Tail lights Tail lights Tail lights
