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
LIVZ 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
LIVZ 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.
