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…
