Prompt / Lyrics
"Mercy Broke the Numbness" (Intro - Airy, breathing, very slow tempo 55 BPM, guitars and bass with thunder slowly adding drums) (Verse 1) Is there anyone listening now In the quiet behind my eyes I’ve been shouting without a sound Just surviving, half alive I’ve been walking these empty halls With a heart that forgot how to feel Every prayer just hits the walls Like a wound that won’t quite heal. (Pre-Chorus) I hear a voice in the distance Cutting through the static and fear It says, “Child, don’t drift away” “I’ve been standing right here”. (Chorus) I was lost in the silence Drifting far from the light Caught between fear and denial In the middle of the night I didn’t know how deep I’d fallen I didn’t know how far I’d run But Your mercy broke the numbness And my soul started waking up. (Verse 2) There was a time I could almost see Just a glimpse, then it slipped away Truth passed right in front of me But I turned my eyes away Now the weight of the years sets in All the battles inside my head I learned how to wear a smile While my faith was hanging by a thread. (Pre-Chorus 2) I felt Your hand in the darkness Even when I couldn’t respond Your voice cut through the numbness Saying, “You were Mine all along”. (Chorus) I was lost in the silence Drifting far from the light Caught between fear and denial In the middle of the night I didn’t know how deep I’d fallen I didn’t know how far I’d run But Your mercy broke the numbness And my soul started waking up (Bridge very slow build – extra long dual guitar style solo after) I don’t need another mask I don’t need another lie I don’t need something to numb the pain I need truth to bring me back to life. (Final Chorus / Outro) I’m no longer in the silence I’m no longer paralyzed You spoke my name in the darkness And opened up my eyes What was dead is finally breathing What was lost has been found I was drifting in the numbness Till Your grace pulled me out
