Where Are You Now by Isaiah Phanore

Melodic, reflective voice: “What’s good… I’m Isaiah Phanore. This is Where Are You Now—track 5 from my story. I wrote this one in the middle of a sleepless night, staring at my ceiling, asking myself why pain feels louder than success. The 808s? Those are my heartbeat when the room’s too quiet. The trench coat? It’s armor… until it isn’t. When the world feels heavy, what’s your go-to escape? (Mine’s blasting early 2000s emo rap while doomscrolling cursed TikTok art—don’t judge me.) Slide into the comments. Stay raw.” Cleaned Lyrics: [Intro] I could use a hand sometimes... (yeah) I am only human... (yeah, yeah) I could use a hand sometimes... [Verse 1] I know you lookin' at me thinkin'... (Why he got everything?) (Why he still need me?) But you don't really see it... All this weight don't make it easy... Doesn't matter who's around me... If you ain't there... I need you... (yeah, yeah) I need you... (yeah, yeah) [Chorus] The weight of the world is pullin' me down Where are you now? Where are you now? Every breath feels like I'm gonna drown Where are you now? Where are you now? [Verse 2] I been runnin' from my thoughts again... Tryna numb it, but it never ends... Fake smiles don't cover the pain... If you ain't here, it ain't the same... I need you... (yeah, yeah) I need you... (yeah, yeah) [Bridge] I could use a hand sometimes... (mmm) I am only human... (yeah, yeah) [Outro] The weight of the world is pullin' me down... Where are you now? Where are you now? Every breath feels like I'm gonna drown... Where are you now? Where are you now?...
