about

‘Not Today’ serves as an anthem for those times when life becomes overwhelmingly daunting, and hope appears distant. It serves as a reminder that even during our bleakest moments, we can nurture a spark to ignite a fire, providing comfort and empowerment. ‘Not Today’ reminds us that we are all loved, strong, and united as we sing together for ourselves and for all our friends who left us too soon.

lyrics

Today. No one’s dying this time
So don't pack it up
We've heard this one before

It was all just a mistake
Clouding all up of our good vibes
But you're in control now
To get out of that fog

It's days like these
You don't care about anyone
It's days like these
I don't care at all

So, take a step back
And just keep looking down
The edge is so close
But you're still around
Always searching
Searching for something more

We used to have hope
So where did it go?

Singing about it
Will help you detach
From that sick feeling of hopelessness
That's still around
Sing it with me
Sing it loud
Sing until your lungs are empty
Then take a deep breath
And hold it, and hold it
Think about all those good times
That we lost
When we were trapped
In our mental cages
Is this bumming you out?
Oh, it's bumming me out!
Now take it outside!
Watch all the birds
Then, take your first step
I hope you feel great
I hope you find all
The answers you need
I hope you end up
Wherever you wanted to be
I hope you feel strong
Because I know you're strong
