about

POV: It’s May 2020 and COVID is in full swing. Government guidelines seem to change by the hour and the population is afraid. People begin grasping at any hope they can as minds melt away and mental health declines in isolation. Some begin to latch on to conspiracy theories and fall victim to misinformation. The population is divided into two. Scientific evidence and YouTube.

...That’s where 'Not Like That' begins.

lyrics

You're talking crazy
You must be off your meds again
I feel bad for you
Spouting shit that only messed up minds can brew

So, you're a good man?
Is there another side to this?
Maybe something that I missed?
The son your mother tells her friends about?

I wanna talk about God, but not like that
Wanna talk about the world with you, but not like that
I always wanna see the good before the bad
But it's not like that

You're trying to tell me how a good lady should be
But who the hell are you?
Yeah, who the hell are you?

Can't trust the government
Can't drink the water
Look at the state of your room
Covered in all of these papers
Manically transcribed with everything that you think that you know But you don't

I wanna talk about God, but not like that
Wanna talk about the world with you, but not like that
I always wanna see the good before the bad
But it's not like that

I can see that you're mad
I can see you're scared
But it's four in the morning
We'll get nowhere
And I just can't care
I just can't care

I wanna talk about God, but not like that
Wanna talk about the world with you, but not like that
I always wanna see the good before the bad
But it's not like that

So we can talk about my flaws, but not like that
I have a tendency to ruin things and I know that
I want somebody to straighten me out when I'm wrong
But not like that
No not like that
