“Lies”, Stabbing Westward, from the album Ungod (1994)
Songs called “Lies”, 7th in a series
One thing that systematically curating every song called “Lies” does is get me to listen to music I’ve never listened to before. Stabbing Westward is a band I’d heard of, in a vague sense, but I didn’t know anything beyond that. My son, whose knowledge of what I think of as “angry young man” music is quite extensive, tells me they were a really good band, with a lot of potential, but that they were torn apart (as too many bands are) by music industry issues.
Lyrics:
Your soul a pit of stone,
the depths I wish I could have known
Dangerous, black and full of spite,
thoughts of you fill my night
But now we lay naked on the floor
I’m lost, I’m drowning in your soul
I was searching for some answer in your eyes
I find malicious laughter and a love that has died
You are haunting my reality
Your lies are the only truth that I believe
You are haunting my reality
Now every time I think about you I die
Hatred runs through me marrow deep
I long to tear your eyes out in your sleep
This passion can lead to evil crimes
Do I kill you or do I choose to die?
Acid burn etched in my brain
Someone dies before I go insane
I was searching for some answer in your eyes
I find malicious laughter and a love that has died
You are haunting my reality
Your lies are the only truth that I believe
You are haunting my reality
Now every time I think about you I die
Lies
Soon now you’ll be gone
I wish to God I could’ve known
I love you I hate you every night
This longing for your soul has got me scared
But now we lay naked on the floor
I’m lost, i’m drowning in your soul
I was searching for some answer in your eyes
I find malicious laughter, hate and lies fucking lies
You are haunting my reality
Your lies are the only truth that I believe
You are haunting my reality
Now every time I think about you I die [repeat]
Lies
