[Intro] [Lo-Fi jazz piano loop, vinyl crackle, heavy sub-bass drone] [Verse 1 - Rap][Male vocal, conversational register, syncopated rapid-fire 16th notes] Yeah, look. Engine hums, the driveway's empty, hands are heavy on the wheel It’s been a long day, I’m tired, losing touch with what is real Staring at the dashboard lights, bleeding neon in the dark Trying to find a quiet space to strike a little spark Outside the bass is thumping, muffled rhythms from the street Inside my head’s a riot, all this panic on repeat I press my forehead to the glass, fogging up the winter cold Just waiting on a whisper of a promise I can hold [Pre-Chorus Drop] [Beat drops out, piano only] [Chorus - Sung, Melodic R&B][Female lead vocal, high register, soulful, soaring, sparse notes, heavy emotional downbeat] In the coming days, I won't survive Not spiritually, not in this life Without the guiding, directing hand The comforting voice to help me stand I need the constant influence Of the Holy Ghost in my defense In the coming days, to stay alive Without the Spirit, I won’t survive [Verse 2 - Rap][Male vocal, conversational register, syncopated rapid-fire 16th notes, heavy trap beat returns] Screen glare, harsh blue, casting shadows on my face Scrolling through the timelines of a fractured human race Looking for a compass in a world without an edge Trying not to stumble when I’m walking on the ledge Cold air in the car, rain is drumming on the hood Every distraction telling me I'm misunderstood But I know the frequency changes when I just unplug And feel the weight of heaven pulling like a gentle tug [Pre-Chorus Drop] [Beat drops out, piano only] [Chorus - Sung, Melodic R&B][Female lead vocal, high register, soulful, soaring, sparse notes, heavy emotional downbeat] In the coming days, I won't survive Not spiritually, not in this life Without the guiding, directing hand The comforting voice to help me stand I need the constant influence Of the Holy Ghost in my defense In the coming days, to stay alive Without the Spirit, I won’t survive [Bridge - Fast Rap, Building Emotion][Male vocal, breathless intense delivery, increasing density, high pitched, driving hi-hats] I need a quiet place to go! Where the river of His grace can flow! I pray the words into the dark, letting all my burdens show! And then I hear it, echoing, washing away the underlying fear The comforting voice I’ve been desperate to hear Cutting through the static so crystal and clear If I wanna survive I gotta learn how to hear! [Chorus - Sung, Melodic R&B, Choir Backup][Female lead vocal, massive arrangement, soaring, high register] In the coming days, I won't survive Not spiritually, not in this life Without the guiding, directing hand The comforting voice to help me stand I need the constant influence Of the Holy Ghost in my defense In the coming days, to stay alive Without the Spirit, I won’t survive [Outro - Spoken Word][Male vocal, low, intimate] Yeah. Constant influence. Gotta learn to tune it in. I need the light.
