about
“LiTtLe LiEs” is a moody alt rock song about a battered woman losing her life and returning from the grave to haunt her killer. It is part of a collection of dark songs written during the corona quarantine and was released on October 30 as a Halloween special. It features a classic rock intro that turns into a darker hard rock feel.
lyrics
Little lies black door is closing, blood uprising and flowing
Just inside the fences, here lies the broken
Another one forsaken to be buried naked
Under the endless slumber, now we are forsaken
Where was she going when she lost her way?
Into the big blue sky, she’s waiting for tonight
Or was she blowing that last good burn?
On the candle wish, she had another turn
Bang bang on the wall
Her voice echoes down those halls
Hang, hang from the floor
Her dress sways on two and four, yeah
She gave it all away; she gave it all away
She gave it all away... just for one more day
She’s been lost and burned, it’s alright this turn
For she will pass the rest and cast one last final yearn
On the other half, all this hell that’s passed
What has not turned black will surely laugh aloud at last
Where was she going when she lost her way?
Into the big blue sky, just waiting for tonight
Or was she blowing that last good burn?
On the candle wish, she had another turn
Bang bang on the wall
Her voice echoes down those halls
Hang, hang from the floor
Her dress sways on two and four, yeah
She gave it all away; she gave it all away
She gave it all away... just for one more day
What have you done with me?
She says... alright
What have you done to me?
I waited around now... around now
Wait until you see
What goes around, it comes around
What goes around, it comes around
What goes around, it comes around… little lies
What goes around, it comes around
What goes around, it comes around
What goes around, it comes around… little lies
Run, run, go away, come back another day
Run, run, go away, come back another day
Run, run, go away, come back another day
Run, run, go away, come see what you’ve made
Where was she going when she lost her way?
Into the big blue sky, just waiting for tonight
Or was she blowing that last good burn?
On the candle wish, she had another turn
Bang bang on the wall
Her voice echoes down those halls
Hang, hang from the floor
Her dress sways on two and four, yeah
She gave it all away; she gave it all away
She gave it all away... come on and rape me!
She gave it all away; she gave it all away
She gave it all away
Come again another day…

Described as “The imagined child of Jim Morrison and Alanis Morissette,” J. Coursey Willis is an alternative rock figure,
known for poignant lyrics and a brooding sound. He explores themes of addiction, despair, heartbreak, and tragedy. With a voice akin to Eddie Vedder and Layne Staley, fans appreciate his introspective songs for their nostalgia, raw honesty, and beauty amidst the darkness....more
I love these guys! Ruben Dobbs produces a very unique, addictive style that reaches deep into the soul. The sounds a truly swampy and sweet as candy. J. Coursey Willis
Plain in simple, Gage Rhodes kicks fucking ass! His style and persona are second to none and he is a forerunner for his generation. It's refreshing to be yourself this much! Unreliable is my favorite. J. Coursey Willis
Heartside... the name says it all. The music is truly heartfelt without being weepy. It's edgy, it's sincere, it's somehow nostalgic and draws me in. Their live shows kickass as well! J. Coursey Willis
