Liar, Liar – Henry Rollins Band

Liar, Liar – Henry Rollins Band

2001: He gained my trust and brought me into the club. When I saw his true colors, I began to see the world through different eyes. I was surrounded by liars.

Liar

You think you'll live your life alone
in darkness
and seclusion.
Yes, I know,
you've been out there
and tried to mingle with these animals,
and when it just left you full of humiliating confusion
you staggered home,
to wait for nothing.
But the lonely finesse of your room spat you back out onto the street,
and now you're desperate
and need human contact,
and then
you meet me,
and your whole world changes,
because everything I say is everything you always wanted to hear.
So you let down your guard and lose all your fears
and you trust me completely.
I am perfect,
in every way,
because I make you feel strong and powerful inside.
You are so happy,
but your ego clouds reality
and you never bothered to question why
things are going so well
and do you want to know why?

Because I am a liar,
yes, I am a liar,
I will tear your spirit apart,
I will burn your soul,
I will turn you into me,
I will turn you into me,
because I am a liar, a liar.

I will hide behind a sympathetic smile
and behind understanding eyes
and I will tell you things you already know.
So you can say,
"I really identify with you, so much."
And all the time you need me,
it's just the time I need to bleed you dry
Haven't you figured it out yet?
I'll come to you like a sufferer
and I'll leave you like an addict.
You'll never forget me.
Do you want to know why?

Because I am a liar,
yes, I am a liar,
I will tear your spirit apart,
I will burn your soul,
I will turn you into me,
I will turn you into me,
because I am a liar, a liar,
liar, liar, liar, liar, liar!

I don't know why I feel like I have to lie
and cause you so much pain.
Maybe it's something I can't explain,
because all I do,
is break you down and lie to you.
I'm a liar,
oh, I'm a liar.

If you give me another chance,
I swear I will never lie to you again,
because now I see the destructive power of lies.
They are stronger than the truth
I can't believe I ever hurt you.
I swear,
I will never lie to you again, please
give me one more chance.
I will never lie to you again.
I swear,
that I will never lie to you again
ha ha ha ha ha hah hah haha haa haaa!

Photographer, traveler, motorcyclist, entrepreneur I set off for a better world. When I reached my destination, I realized that I was back where I started my journey. Everything was the same, only I had changed. Many thanks to @karl_knerr_fotografie for the beautiful portrait.
