Lies [Intro: Low whispers in light female voice] The air was too quiet she didn’t say a word The room was too quiet and she didn’t say a word The air was too quiet she didn’t say a word The room was too quiet and she didn’t say a word [low whispers raise up] The air was too quiet she didn’t say a word The room was too quiet and she didn’t say a word The air was too quiet she didn’t say a word The room was too quiet and she didn’t say a word [Beat continues then drops into first verse] Verse 1 [low voice] Blood on the toilet how did that get in there? Unfamiliar wretched stench lingers strongly in the air My people kept secrets that they didn’t wanna share They had a great debacle cooking for the unprepared The stew had a few of the memories I’ve shared They seasoned it with poison made by lies and despair The way my parents moved was like I was never there My sister was too young to recollect this troubled pair Soon the afternoon hit and evening came I woke up in the morning and nothing was the same Chorus [melodic choir voices emotionally sing “Ahhh” throughout the chorus behind the words] You looked me in the eyes and you told your lies I asked you once then I asked you twice You gave two different answers like I couldn’t compute The lies from your decision to withhold the truth Again and again I went about it in my head The last time I saw my fathers grin You took us both away from the fun loving guy No words, no explanations - only your lies [space for the beat to play going into the next verse] Verse 2 The car ride was long but quicker than I thought As I tried to wrap my head around what was going on We arrived at this new place that I guess was our new home A roof giving shelter that I didn’t wanna know We moved in and settled down quicker than you spoke I was forced into this new place feeling all alone Once again you’ve failed to fill me in on how this even happened Now I’m stuck inside Ohio not knowing if I’m ever going back again You fooled me once you fooled me twice You took your chance now my hearts on ice I’ll never look at you the same the trust is surely broken If I ever get the chance to leave I’ll gladly spend the token Yeah… Yeah… Yeah… Chorus [melodic choir voices emotionally sing “Ahhh” throughout the chorus behind the words] You looked me in the eyes and you told your lies I asked you once then I asked you twice You gave two different answers like I couldn’t compute The lies from your decision to withhold the truth Again and again I went about it in my head The last time I saw my fathers grin You took us both away from the fun loving guy No words, no explanations - only your lies [Intro: Low whispers] The air was too quiet she didn’t say a word The room was too quiet and she didn’t say a word The air was too quiet she didn’t say a word The room was too quiet and she didn’t say a word [low whispers raise up] The air was too quiet she didn’t say a word The room was too quiet and she didn’t say a word The air was too quiet she didn’t say a word The room was too quiet and she didn’t say a word
