Not The Same

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
