Lyrics Liar - Henry Rollins

Liar

So you think you’re gonna live your life alone
In darkness and seclusion
Yeah I know, you’ve been out there and tried to mix with those animals
And it just left you full of humiliated confusion
So you stagger back home and wait for nothing
But the solitary refinement of your room spits you back out onto the street
And now you’re desperate and in need of human contact
And then you meet me and your whole world changes
Because everything I say is everything you’ve ever wanted to hear
So you drop all your defenses, and you drop all your fears
And you trust me completely
I’m perfect in every way
'Cause I make you feel so strong and so powerful inside
You feel so lucky
But your ego obscures reality and you never bother to wonder why things are
going so well
You wanna know why?
'Cause I’m a liar!
Yeah, I’m a liar!
I’ll tear your mind out
I’ll burn your soul
I’ll turn you into me
I’ll turn you into me
'Cause I’m a liar, a liar
A liar, a liar
I’ll hide behind a smile
And understanding eyes
And I’ll tell you things that you already know
So you can say, «I really identify with you, so much»
And all the time that you’re needing me
Is just the time that I’m bleeding you!
Don’t you get it yet?!
I’ll come to you like an affliction
But I’ll leave you like an addiction!
You’ll never forget me!
You wanna know why?!
'Cause I’m a liar!
Yeah, I’m a liar!
I’ll rip your mind out
I’ll burn your soul
I’ll turn you into me
I’ll turn you into me
'Cause I’m a liar, a liar
A liar, a liar
Liar, liar, liar, liar!
I don’t know why I feel the need to lie
And cause you so much pain
Maybe it’s something inside
Maybe it’s something I can’t explain
'Cause all I do
Is mess you up and lie to you
I’m a liar
Oh, I am a liar
But if you’ll give me just one more chance
I swear that I will never lie to you again
Because now I see the destructive power of a lie
Is stronger than truth
I can’t believe I ever hurt you
I swear
I will never lie to you again, please
Just give me one more chance
I will never lie to you again
No, I swear
I will never tell a lie
I will never tell a lie
No, no
Ha ha ha ha ha ha haa!
Ho ho ho ho!
Sucker!
Sucker!
Oh, sucker!
I am a liar!
Yeah, I am a liar!
Yeah, I like it!
I feel good!
Ohh, I am a liar!
Yeah
I lie, I lie, I lie!
Oh, I lie!
Oh, I lie!
I lie!
Yeah
Oh, I’m a liar!
I lie!
Yeah, I like it!
I feel good!
I’ll lie again
And again
I’ll lie again and again
And I’ll keep lying!
I promise!
