Excavate

[Chorus: Saint Claire]

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

Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain

[Verse 1: Macklemore]

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 coverin' his ears

Walkin' 'round a hallway, dreamin' 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 to 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

[Chorus: Saint Claire]

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

Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain

And I found peace

And I found peace

And I found peace

[Verse 2: Macklemore]

I had this vision of my death

Surrounded by people I love and respect

In the baby blue Cadillac hearse

Pullin' 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

Wakin' up in the morning, bein' a father

Watchin' the light kiss her eyelids

Hearin' her sing along to Chance

And bein' like, "Yeah, that's my kid"

The light started to glow

And the saxophone from Coltrane started to blow

Tender, laying in the snow, turn on my headphones

Couple miles to go before I run out of road

Excavate

[Chorus: Saint Claire]

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

Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain

And I found peace

And I found peace

And I found peace

[Outro: Macklemore]

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?
