“Not You” written by Thomas Paul; features an excerpt from “What Happens Between Panels” by Levi Ethan Cecil

lyrics

And that time you left us, was that not the best of all in the world you could do
Shaking off the summer, another awkward number shouts at the world with the blues
But not you… no no not you…

He won’t go near the water,
your mother’s sister’s daughter walks through the walls with his excuse…
From the next beginning, they were ever spinning,
Hoping their north could be true
But not you… no no not you…

There’s no love like, like this one, man. … There’s no air anywhere…
I don’t know what, you’ve been told, but… No other air could compare...

As you squirm and twist in, this megalopolis and, hustle for water and food…
Tie your dreams up tight and, wrapped in dynamite, man...
We leave today for the moon...
But not you… no no not you…

As you turn the corner, another grand performer slips from the crowd in the nude…
You thought they wanted beauty, what they wanted, truly...
To sleep through the fireworks at noon...
But not you… no no not you…

There’s no love like, like this one, man… There’s no air anywhere...
I don’t know what, you’ve been told, but… No other air could compare…
There’s no light like we see at night, There’s no air anywhere…
I don’t know what, you’ve been told, but… No other air could compare...

Sore, but not sick
Ideas seeping down like dirty water
Sick, but not dead

But not you… no no not you…
