Still Asking Why (Jack White-Noel Gribbins)

[Intro - Acoustic fingerstyle guitar, sparse and intimate] [Verse 1 - Intimate, conversational male vocal, acoustic fingerstyle] I am speaking to the sky. Wondering if it reaches your ear. So many times I have cried and sought Solace in the darkest night. [Verse 2 - Vocal tension building, tight compression, guitar layering in] Sleep escapes me under the pressure. I wake in the middle of the night. Looking at where I am And how it's all going. Makes this a desperate night. [Chorus - Explosive, soaring, full band, heavy distorted electric guitars] Where are you? When are you going to respond? Will you come to my aid or continue to leave me here on my own? Your word says you are near. When my heart is broken. So, why does it feel like I'm out here all alone? [Verse 3 - Pull back slightly, raw and vulnerable delivery] Can you hear me now As my prayers bounce off the ceiling. I know comparison will steal my joy. I know that bitterness will harden my will. But I have seen so many pass me by. And I'm sitting here still. Just left asking why. [Verse 4 - Rising energy, deep chest resonance on high-impact words] I count the days like scattered coins, Wondering if you save a single one. The mirror shows a man grown tired, Still reaching for a rising sun. I've said the prayers, I've walked the miles, I've knelt down low and searched the skies. But silence answers where I'm standing, And all I hear are my own cries. [Chorus - Explosive, soaring, full band, heavy distorted electric guitars] Where are you? When are you going to respond? Will you come to my aid or continue to leave me here on my own? Your word says you are near. When my heart is broken. So, why does it feel like I'm out here all alone? [Guitar Solo - soaring, mournful, heavy distortion, building intensity] [Bass Solo - heavy, driving, low-end power break] [Outro - Acoustic fingerstyle guitar returns, stripped back, fading] Where are you... Still asking why...
