Not Today Satan

Verse 1

Woke up feeling like the world moved on

Like everybody else knew where they belonged

Voice in my head trying to pull me down

Saying I’m too lost to turn around

Sat alone staring at my bedroom wall

Thinking maybe I’m not strong at all

Then I heard a memory in the back of my mind

“Darkness only wins if you stop the fight”

Pre-Chorus

Yeah, I’ve been down that road before

Let the shadows lock the door

But they don’t get me anymore

Chorus

Not today Satan

You don’t get my peace

You don’t get my future

Or the best of me

You can whisper all night

Try to fill my head with doubt

But I’m finally learning

How to shut you out

Yeah, you had me breaking

But I’m stronger than my pain

So not today

No, not today Satan

Verse 2

Some days hope feels hard to hold

Like a tiny little fire in the cold

Everybody acts like they’re doing fine

But we all get scared sometimes

I still got scars I don’t talk about

Still got fears that I’m working through now

But the fact that I’m standing here breathing at all

Means the darkness didn’t win after all

Pre-Chorus

No, I’m not who I was back then

I know how this story ends

And I’m not giving in again

Chorus

Not today Satan

You don’t get my peace

You don’t get my family

Or the dreams I keep

You can whisper all night

Try to drag me through the dark

But the light keeps finding

Every broken part

Yeah, you had me shaking

But I’m stronger than the pain

So not today

No, not today Satan

Bridge

Maybe I bend

Maybe I bruise

Maybe there’s nights

I still feel confused

But losing myself

Is one thing I won’t do

Final Chorus

Not today Satan

I finally believe

Every little battle

Didn’t come to bury me

You can knock me down

But I’ll never stay there long

‘Cause every time I get back up

You know you lost

Yeah, you kept me waiting

But I’m done living afraid

So not today

No, not today Satan
