Hook
Where you going?
Where you at?
I’ve been tryna reach you
You don’t call me back
Where you going?
Where you at?
I’ve been tryna reach you
You don’t call me back

Verse 1
Part of me is grasping for straws
Passing the ball
Gassing up my wife at the mall
No prices involved
Hoping i’m surviving the fall
Providing the gall
Corruption doesn’t ever dissolve
It’s cleverly calm
No pressure but i’m not where i was
The pleasure was rushed
I measure what i wish i could trust
And wrestle with lust
With everything i couldn’t adjust
I left in the dust
And built a life i shouldn’t have touched
It’s like, how i’m left alone with all my vices in the storm?
Can’t communicate emotions, i just have to perform
Everything i want to say, gotta say it from a stage
Read the teleprompter telling me the feelings i convey
(okay okay)
Tryna shake this feeling, i don’t want this pain
When the camera’s rolling, action, tryna mask it all away
Hide my thoughts behind the lights
Keep my secrets in the mics
Don’t let nobody come close to me
It’s time to read my lines
I need silence in the room
I need nothing but the crew
Let’s just roll the film, set up the camera
Let’s begin the shoot
I’ve grown numb to my opinion
I don’t feel like i belong
Let’s just get whatever take
So we can edit out my flaws
I don’t care for the applause
They don’t know me like they think
By the time they see the product
I’m so far from being me
Just make me better than i am
Make me perfect to the fans
That way no one knows the truth
And then don’t have to understand

Verse 2
The other half is gasping for breath
I’m running from death
Involved in all my failures i guess
I’m partially blessed
I know i can’t escape my depression
I’m doing my best
But it’s hard to push it through
When i’m not reaching success
Do i invest with no return?
I haven’t seen a profit
Even when i reach the end, i never get what’s promised
Do they care about my soul or selling me a product?
Cause they got nothing they can offer me that’s honest
Can you tell me where you’re going cause it’s getting hard to follow
Wandering for days and days, feeling like a desperado
Now this life you’ve got me living, man it’s getting hard to swallow
Finding comfort in the pain, no display i can borrow
Come tomorrow when i focus on the purpose of this all
I don’t think i can ignore the central issue unresolved
Forcing portions on my soul to discontinue, uninvolved
The way i think, the way i feel, the way i hurt, the way i call
But he said “you don’t have to see me just to know i never left
When everything is overwhelming, i see you doing your best”
He said “i know the turning feeling in your stomach, in your chest
When the world is falling down and all around you can’t catch your breath
But i caught it for you, gave you all you needed
That same power that rose jesus resides beneath you”
That same power, no sane hour believe and seek you
He said “i know this isn’t perfect, i’ve been tryna reach you”
Bridge
I don’t know where i’m going
But i know you’re there
I don’t know where i’m going
But i know you’re there
I don’t know where i’m going
But i know you’re there
I don’t know where i’m going
But i know you’re there
