[Title: Equally Yoked (Trying to Recover)] [Style: Dark R&B Ballad], [Soulful], [Confessional], [Intimate], [Anxious], [Prayer] [Instrumentation: Slow R&B Beat, Deep Sub-Bass, Atmospheric Pads, Clean Electric Guitar (Reverb)] (Spoken Intro - whispered, over a soft pad) Who are you, Maurice? (Ad-lib: My oh my...) I'm just trying... I'm just trying to recover. Eyepiercinglove. (Verse 1) [Music Tag: Slow, pulsing R&B beat, Intimate female vocal] I'll follow your lead Do what you want with me, Maurice I need you to hold me close But at arm's reach so we don't get hurt I didn't think I could think these thoughts... (Pre-Chorus) [Music Tag: Music swells, electric guitar enters] 'Cause I feel like I'm falling For a man... equally yoked But what does that mean? Does it mean our faith... or our brokenness? Is this a holy harmony? Or just my codependency? (Chorus) [Music Tag: Beat hits, full sub-bass, layered harmonies] My oh my... Lord, help me not give in Help me not give more than I have to offer Don't let me lose myself, don't let me lose my way When all I'm trying to do is recover. (Verse 2) [Music Tag: Groove returns, vocals are more rhythmic, confessional] I already gave too much... The massage, the watch, the promises I couldn't keep To myself, to my new standards, to You. (Ad-lib: I let him watch me, Lord...) It felt so intimate, so horny, so right But was it healing, or just... the night? (Pre-Chorus) [Music Tag: Music swells, guitar is more prominent] 'Cause I feel like I'm falling For a man... equally yoked But his addiction and my codependency... Just found a perfect, broken harmony. (Ad-lib: A terrible, beautiful friction...) (Chorus) [Music Tag: Beat hits hard, full sub-bass, layered harmonies] My oh my... Lord, help me not give in Help me not give more than I have to offer Don't let me lose myself, don't let me lose my way When all I'm trying to do is recover. (Bridge) [Music Tag: Music drops to just pads and vocal, raw emotion] My first thought, Lord, was "Am I ruining *him*?" But You and I both know... that's my oldest sin. (Ad-lib: That's the fixer...) The real question, the one that shakes my soul, Is "Am I ruining *me*?" And all the work I did to be free? All the price I set on my own worth? (Final Chorus / Outro) [Music Tag: Beat comes back, full and emotional] My oh my... Lord, help me not give in Help me not give more than I have to offer Don't let me lose myself, don't let me lose my way When all I'm trying to do is recover. (Ad-lib: Just recover...) (Ad-lib: Who are you, Maurice?) (Fade out on the beat)
