CONFESSIONAL I WAS NUMB TOO
92 BPM intimate confessional spoken-soul with minimal piano, warm vinyl texture, subtle room tone, and a restrained pulse. No big drums until late, and even then only soft kick and brush snare. Rapper delivers calm, honest narration as the primary voice. Female enters with a simple, airy refrain near the end. Male appears briefly with a low harmony line, no screaming. Keep it documentary-real, like a testimony. Key E minor resolving to G major warmth on the final refrain. Church-safe.

Lyrics
[Intro 4bars Room tone Piano]
[A long exhale]
[Verse 1:rapper calm soulful speaker]
I was numb too
Not loud, not evil, just distracted
I learned the language
But I avoided the cost
I could quote the verses
And still walk past the hurting
I called it “staying out of it”
But it was fear
And comfort
And pride dressed in clean clothes
[Interlude 4bars]
[Piano stays, a faint choir breath]
[Verse 2:rapper calm soulful speaker]
I wanted God to fix the world
Without fixing me
I wanted peace
Without surrender
I wanted truth
Without humility
And I didn’t notice how slowly
The screen became my altar
How outrage became my energy
How silence became my excuse
[Pre-Chorus:female vocal soft]
Come back
Come home
To first love
[Chorus:female vocal]
Jesus, have mercy
Bring me to life
Break what has bound me
Restore what’s inside
I don’t want to stay asleep
I don’t want to live half true
Jesus, have mercy
I was numb too
[Bridge:rapper calm soulful speaker]
So if you’re tired
If you’ve been drifting
If your faith feels like a routine
Hear me
You’re not disqualified
You’re being called
Return to the simple things
Prayer with honesty
Love with action
Truth with gentleness
Start again
[Climax:female vocal + male low harmony]
Create in me a clean heart
Renew a right spirit in me
Restore to me the joy again
And I will walk in what I believe
[Outro,Fade out]
[Piano only]
Amen
