[Verse 1] Spread like paint across five different walls Answering three dozen midnight calls Calendar full but the room is bare Looking in the mirror, nobody's there Gave away my hours piece by piece Waiting for the noise to finally cease Forgot the sound of my own quiet mind Left the core of who I was behind [Chorus] Where did I go when I gave it all away? Stretched so thin I’m fading into gray Lost the beat that made my spirit tick Running on empty, burning through the wick I gotta find the center in the sound Pick my scattered pieces off the ground Reclaim the spark before it turns to ash Stop living life in a fragmented flash [Verse 2] Signed my name to projects not my own Standing in a crowd but all alone Nodding yes when every bone said no Just keeping up with the endless show Can't remember what I used to love Pushing through the weight, hand over glove Gotta pull the roots back to the dirt Before the hollow feeling starts to hurt [Chorus] Where did I go when I gave it all away? Stretched so thin I’m fading into gray Lost the beat that made my spirit tick Running on empty, burning through the wick I gotta find the center in the sound Pick my scattered pieces off the ground Reclaim the spark before it turns to ash Stop living life in a fragmented flash [Bridge] Cut the wires, mute the outside noise Strip away the clutter and the toys Back to the bassline, back to the start Listening for the cadence of my heart [Guitar Break] [Chorus] Where did I go when I gave it all away? Stretched so thin I’m fading into gray Lost the beat that made my spirit tick Running on empty, burning through the wick I gotta find the center in the sound Pick my scattered pieces off the ground Reclaim the spark before it turns to ash Stop living life in a fragmented flash [Outro] Just the bass and me tonight Finding my way back to the light Back to the core. What makes me tick.
