Numb

[Intro: Unusual sudden quiet acoustic guitar picking, no humming, atmospheric silence]

[Verse 1: Intimate hip hop recitative, spoken-word delivery, low energy, quiet guitar picking, breathy vocal]
Staring at the walls. The room is dark.
My tea went cold. I’ve lost my spark.
You walked away, my world fell through,
Now it's just white noise in a room without you.
I thought I'd howl from the aching pain,
But someone just turned off the screen in my brain.
It’s absolute zero. The feeling is gone.
I’m completely numb, just looking on.

[Chorus: Melodic, emotional, quiet anguish, strong catchy hook, soft drums and ukulele enter, expressive lyrical soprano]
Cold on the inside, there's nothing I fear.
I am not crying, shedding no tear.
My heart is in silence, the lights fade to black.
You are just gone. I am not coming back.

[Verse 2: Rhythmic spoken-word hip hop delivery, steady acoustic beat, crisp cadence, raw emotion]
My friends keep on calling: "Hey, how have you been?"
I lie that I'm fine, hide the state that I'm in.
My mind took the pain and just burned it to ash,
Defenses kicked in, saving me from the crash.
A ringing dead emptiness. A platform unseen.
I walk like a phantom. It’s all just a dream.

[Chorus: Melodic, emotional, strong catchy hook, full acoustic arrangement]
Cold on the inside, there's nothing I fear.
I am not crying, shedding no tear.
My heart is in silence, the lights fade to black.
You are just gone. I am not coming back.

[Outro: Fading out to a single acoustic guitar chord, slow tempo, lingering breathy exhale, absolute silence]
Absolute zero.
Nothing but ice.
Nothing... hurts inside.
[End]
