Sen Morimoto This Is Not
[Intro]
This is not the way you want it
This is not the way I want it
[Verse 1]
This is not the way you want it
This is not the way I want it
I'm just looking out for you
I'm just being extra cautious
Look at what you bout to do
This is not the way you want it
I'm just being extra cautious
I'm just looking out for you
You don't wanna let me call it
Look it's obvious, they don't process karma
Or effects and causes
This is not the way they want it
They can't understand the farthest reaches
Like the graph that's in the sand upon the beach
Don't see the sea
I need a sec, I need a-
We can go and break a promise
Hum our songs and make a bond
I identify as real
Life inside a great facade
I don't mean to sound this odd
It's awkward
This is not the way I want it
This is not the day to comment
Cause I'm anxious and robotic
There's a logic to the way that how you want it
Is connected to a product
Get connected and rethought of
How you wish that they would see you
But you're feeling blue and see-through
Everyone that you meet is you and saying "Me too!"
Counting to the end, counting presidents (Me too!)
I don't know God
But I understand the evidence
Oh my god! I cannot believe the messages
This is not the way we want it
Get beyond it
Life and lemons, gin & tonic
(Pentatonic scales swim across my mind
Every time it did I try to keep it simple
This is not the way you want it
This is not the way I want it
Someday they'll find this honest
They don't understand the concept)
[Verse 2]
I thought everything was simple as sugar and water
I thought any day I'll understand it (any day)
But it only got harder
It only got farther away from me
I give the heart's praise to the mind
I gave you my time
And I'm gonna need that back
I need everything, but it's nothing, no bother
You got plenty of problems, probably
[Hook]
Probably
I just misplaced all of me
I just, did, we must get lost, and how
And how
Does anyone slow down?
[Verse 3]
Uchi to ie no chigai ore, boku watashi
Me myself and I are on a highway, we're flying cautiously
Watashi no chi wa hapa atataka ake i
Glass full, let em break
So nobody bothers me
Nobody can sit with me
And no one can belittle me
And my keyboard is broken so this song is missing middle D
You're missing the point, a double-edge is not a blade
Ignorance is bliss, and that's as simple as it's made
If I go, I'm so enthusiastic
Itten go one, and I half-assed it
Back it up, what am I—fuck it, I'm in pain
Uchi to ie no chigai ore, what's my name?
All of y'all can love above the clouds, I need space
Sharp tongues everywhere but no one has taste
You're missing the point, a double-edge is not a blade
Glass half-full of shit, I knew you were fake
Yesterday everything was magic
Guess today I'm feeling kinda plastic
Get in loser, we're going to practice
Get in- (chuckle)
Proba-boba-boba-boba-proba-boba
[Hook]
Probably
I just misplaced all of me
(And I'm gonna need that back)
I just, did, we must get lost, and how
And how
Does anyone slow down?
(I'm gonna need that
I'm gonna need that)
[Outro] (Repeated)
I'm gonna need that back
I'm gonna need that back
I'm gonna need that back
I'm gonna need that back
I'm gonna need that back
I'm gonna need that
I'm gonna, I'm gonna need that back
