Not Today

Verse 1

Stumbled outside

Leather boots clicking on the heavy pavement

Blood on my knuckles from the drywall

Staring at a mountain I cannot climb

Waking up screaming

Waking up sinking

Waking up needing a way out of here

The mirror looks back like a stranger

Chorus

Everything will be alright

Maybe just not tonight

Everything will be okay

Just not today

Not today

Not today

Post-Chorus

Moving through the grey

Maybe one day

Moving through the grey

Just not today

Verse 2

Empty bottles line the marble counter top

Static in my brain while I stare at the stove

I need air

I need space

I need time

Cold wind cutting through my thin silk shirt

Counting every second of the bad weather

The check cleared but my chest still feels hollow

Gold on my neck feeling heavy like a lead weight

Trying to find a reason just to stay awake

Tired of the pressure

Tired of the people

Tired of the ghost that is living in my house

Chorus

Everything will be alright

Maybe just not tonight

Everything will be okay

Just not today

Not today

Not today

Post-Chorus

Moving through the grey

Maybe one day

Moving through the grey

Just not today

Bridge

Run from the storm

Run from the shadow

Run from the truth

It's a bitter pill I gotta swallow now

It's a bitter hole I gotta hollow out

Everything fine

Everything great

Everything perfect until I look down

Chorus

Everything will be alright

Maybe just not tonight

Everything will be okay

Just not today

Not today

Not today

Post-Chorus

Moving through the grey

Maybe one day

Moving through the grey

Just not today

Outro

Sunlight is coming soon

Maybe by June

But right now it's cold

Right now it's dark

Just wait till the morning

Just wait till it's over
