NOT EVERY VOICE

INTRO (SPOKEN – ENEMY, BREATHY, CLOSE MIC)

(dry, intimate, unsettling)

Oh…

You feel that?

That pressure in your head?

That’s me.

You tried faith.

You tried rules.

You still came crawling back.

So let’s stop pretending.

⸻

VERSE 1 (ENEMY – SPOKEN / RHYTHMIC)

You wake up tired

Already beat

Same old war

Same defeat

You say you’re changed

I know your past

I know the cracks

I know you won’t last

It’s just a thought

Don’t make it sin

Just crack the door

And let me in

God’s real quiet

Where’s He been?

I’ve been here

Since the beginning

⸻

PRE-CHORUS (BUILDING – VOICE TIGHTENS)

Say it again

That you’re in control

Say it again

That you’re not alone

⸻

CHORUS (EXPLOSIVE – BELIEVER, CLEAN BARITONE)

NOT EVERY VOICE

DECIDES MY FATE

NOT EVERY THOUGHT

GETS THROUGH THE GATE

I DON’T SUBMIT

TO WHAT YOU SAY

I SEE THE LIE

I TURN AWAY

I TAKE IT CAPTIVE

DRAG IT TO THE LIGHT

NOT EVERY VOICE

LAIVZ IN MY MIND

⸻

POST-CHORUS (DISTURBED-STYLE PUNCHES)

No—

Not this time

No—

You don’t decide

⸻

VERSE 2 (CALL & RESPONSE – DISTURBED STYLE)

[Enemy (spoken)]:

You’ll never change

[Believer (sung)]:

That’s a lie

[Enemy (spoken)]:

You’re too weak

[Believer (sung)]:

I’m alive

[Enemy (spoken)]:

You still fall

[Believer (sung)]:

I still stand

[Enemy (spoken)]:

You’re still mine

[Believer (sung)]:

I AM REDEEMED

⸻

PRE-CHORUS 2 (TIGHTER, MORE ANGRY)

You sound strong

But I hear fear

Say His name

When I’m this near

⸻

CHORUS 2 (HEAVIER, MORE COMMANDING)

NOT EVERY VOICE

DECIDES MY FATE

NOT EVERY THOUGHT

GETS THROUGH THE GATE

I SUBMIT FIRST

THEN I RESIST

I DON’T COEXIST

WITH COUNTERFEIT

I TAKE IT CAPTIVE

DRAG IT TO THE LIGHT

NOT EVERY VOICE

LAIVZ IN MY MIND

⸻

BREAKDOWN (DISTURBED-STYLE “MADNESS” SECTION)

(Enemy voice unravels, overlapping whispers)

You’re weak

You’re sick

You’re lost

You’re—

(Believer cuts in, shouted)

—SILENCE.

⸻

BRIDGE (BELIEVER – ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY)

I DON’T FIGHT ALONE

I DON’T STAND MY GROUND

I STAND BENEATH

A HIGHER SOUND

YOU HAVE A VOICE

BUT NOT A THRONE

THIS MIND IS CLAIMED

THIS HEART IS OWNED

⸻

FINAL CHORUS (FULL DISTURBED ENERGY)

NOT EVERY VOICE

DECIDES MY FATE

NOT EVERY THOUGHT

GETS THROUGH THE GATE

YOU KNOCK—

I ANSWER WITH TRUTH APPLIED

THIS WAR IS DONE

GET OUT OF MY MIND

⸻

OUTRO (SPOKEN – CALM, DEADLY QUIET)

You knocked once.

I checked the truth.

You don’t live here.
