Fences - Arrows (feat. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis)

(Just escape!)

[Chris Mansfield]
My old man, he kicked me out, he kicked me out
When I told him that 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

He doesn't own me
He doesn't own me
He doesn't own me
He doesn't own me

(Just escape!)

Arrows land, we’re falling
Arrows (arrows) were falling
Arrows land, we’re falling
Arrows (arrows) were falling

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

Arrows land, we’re falling
Arrows (arrows) were falling
Arrows land, we’re falling
Arrows (arrows) were falling

[Macklemore]
Yeah, yeah, 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 brakes
This is what you wanted, huh? But you got it all in vain
'Cause you forgot who you are right as the world learned your name
It goes

[Chris Mansfield]
Arrows land, we’re falling
Arrows (arrows) were falling
Arrows land, we’re falling
Arrows (arrows) were falling

[Macklemore]
Let me ash my issues, ashtray as this asphalt
American spirits, 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 traveller, 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, I'm too afraid to stare this world into its face
I'm almost home, I'm driving lost, my eyelids close, life turns to grey
The cameras off, the show is over, you close the curtains and just escape

[Chris Mansfield]
Arrows land, we’re falling
Arrows were falling
Arrows land, we’re falling
Arrows were falling

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!)
