[intro – spoken] Yeah We got questions… But we don’t always like the answers [verse 1] I’ve been pointing fingers like it’s everybody else's mess been looking up to heaven like why won't you come and fix this mess Praying only when the pressure starts to press against my chest But ignoring every warning sign You tried to address I want peace without the process, I want joy without the pain Want You to clean my life up while I’m staying the same I say I trust You, but I don’t let go of the wheel Then I wonder why my faith just isn't feeling real [pre-chorus] I talk to God like He owes me something Like grace is earned, like love’s a budget But I forget that He's the giver of my freedom I forget the times that He came when I needed Him [chorus] We blame God for our problems and ask why He won’t solve ’em But we only ever look to Him when we’ve fallen to rock bottom We ask that He would pull us out the pit we crawled in but we ignore Him when we hear His voice calling And pretend we can get ourselves out and we never really needed Him [verse 2 emotional, rap, steady flow] I blame the world, I blame my past, I blame the scars, I blame the cards that I was dealt, blame who You are, but I ignore the times You tried to guide me straight I hear Your voice, but I choose my way [increasingly faster] I treat You like a backup plan Not a Father, just an ambulance I call You when my life’s in flames Then get mad when You don’t work my way I want a miracle, no obedience Resurrection life, without repentance I say You’re silent, but it’s really me Drowning You out with my own beliefs [chorus] We blame God for our problems and ask why He won’t solve ’em But we only ever look to Him when we’ve fallen to rock bottom We ask that He would pull us out the pit we crawled in but we ignore Him when we hear His voice calling And pretend we can get ourselves out and we never really needed Him [bridge – rap build, emotional turn] What if the silence isn’t absence? What if it’s a test of patience? What if He’s waiting for me to stop chasing All the lies that I've been faking And finally listen to what He’s been saying? He’s not the villain in my story He’s been the One trying to warn me I shut the door, then scream for help When I’m trapped in a mess I built myself [breakdown –soft] Maybe it’s not that God won’t move Maybe instead He’s calling me to [builds] I gotta stop blaming heaven for the hell I create I built my own cage and now I beg for escape [final chorus - slower, echo] We blame God for our problems and ask why He won’t solve ’em But we only ever look to Him when we’ve fallen to rock bottom But now I’m lifting my eyes before I hit the ground This time I'll trust the Lord, and He won't let me down [outro – spoken / soft beat] He never left… I just wasn’t listening
