Alarm clock ringing like a warning bell
Same road, same traffic, same private hell
Bills on the table, weight in my chest
Smile for the mirror, fail the test
Everybody’s pushing, nobody sees
The quiet war grinding down my knees
Pre-Chorus
It’s not the face in front of me
Not the voice that disagrees
There’s something deeper in the flame
Calling weakness by my name
Chorus
This ain’t flesh and blood I’m fighting tonight
It’s the dark in the corners, hiding in plain sight
When the pressure closes in and the truth feels thin
I stand my ground, I won’t give in
I know the enemy, I know the cost
But my soul won’t bend, my faith’s not lost
Verse 2
Scrolling rage through a shattered screen
Every lie dressed sharp and clean
Pride talks loud, fear talks fast
Old mistakes trying to make me collapse
Every compromise, small and slow
Chains don’t clang till you try to go
Pre-Chorus
It’s not the hands around my throat
It’s the whisper saying “let it go”
I feel the pull, I hear the call
But I won’t kneel, I won’t fall
Chorus
This ain’t flesh and blood I’m fighting tonight
It’s the weight of the lie and the love of the fight
When the ground gives way and the doubt comes in
I plant my feet, I dig back in
I know the enemy, I know his cost
But my soul stands firm, my faith’s not lost
Post-Chorus Hook
Not flesh and blood
Not flesh and blood
Bridge (Half-Time, Heavy)
Truth around my waist, I breathe it in
Righteousness like armor on my skin
Peace in my steps when the road turns black
Faith like a shield when the world attacks
I lift the Word like a sharpened blade
I don’t swing blind, I don’t swing afraid
Breakdown
I won’t curse the hands I see
I won’t hate what’s killing me
The war is real, but so is grace
I fight on my knees, I hold my place
Chorus (Final, Bigger)
This ain’t flesh and blood I’m fighting tonight
It’s the powers that feed on the fear inside
When the night stays long and the hope feels thin
I stand my ground, I dig back in
I know the enemy, I know the cost
I wear the truth, my faith’s not lost
Outro
Every day’s a battlefield
Every wound has to heal
Eyes up, heart locked, fists unclenched
I don’t fight alone, I don’t fight against
Flesh and blood.
