Title: Not the Same Level
Verse 1
I know You’re there even when I can’t see
Angels and demons fighting over me
I don’t see the blades, don’t hear them collide
Just feel the war going on inside
I sit here writing, wondering what it’s worth
Do these words even matter on this earth?
Who’s still fighting to tear the devil down?
Feels like no one even hears the sound
Pre-Chorus
But I’ve seen darkness face to face
And I’m still standing in this place
Chorus
Back off—you don’t know me
I’ve walked through hell and I’m still breathing
Jesus saved me, set me free
You’re not on the same level as me
I’ve been broken, left for dead
But I hear every word He said
You can’t take what’s been redeemed
You’re not on the same level as me
Verse 2
That old snake with the jet black eyes
Tried to sell me truth wrapped up in lies
Offered money, a brand new name
I said no—I’m not playing that game
Tried to get inside my mind, control my thoughts
But I see through every trick you’ve got
You keep talking—I’m shutting it down
You’ve got no power here, not now
Pre-Chorus
You don’t belong inside my head
I choose the words my Savior said
Chorus
Back off—you don’t know me
I’ve walked through hell and I’m still breathing
Jesus saved me, set me free
You’re not on the same level as me
I’ve been broken, left for dead
But I hear every word He said
You can’t take what’s been redeemed
You’re not on the same level as me
Bridge (spoken → explosive)
Where would you go…
If you had nothing left?
No money, no home, no one to trust?
I’ve been there—
Alone in the night
No place to run, no strength to fight
They called me crazy—maybe we all are
Some just hide it, some wear the scars
I didn’t know what was wrong with me
Till the truth finally set me free
Breakdown (heavy, raw)
Thirty-five—finally named the war
All those years, I was fighting more
Not drunk, not high, just lost in my mind
Trying to survive what I couldn’t define
Family gone, left me in the cold
But I didn’t break, I didn’t fold
You think I’m weak? You think I’ll fall?
I’ve already lived through it all
Final Chorus (big, defiant)
Back off—you don’t own me
I’ve walked through death and You still chose me
Jesus saved me, set me free
You’re not on the same level as me
I’ve been shattered, torn apart
But He rebuilt this broken heart
You can’t take what’s been redeemed
You’re not on the same level as me
Outro (stripped, quiet but strong)
So where would you go…
If you were all alone?
Who would you trust…
When nothing feels like home?
I know my answer now
