Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh
You could be just as bad as me
That would be such a tragedy
Yellin' at me like "Who is she?"
Probably what attract you to me
You didn't pay for those private seats
Can't FaceTime when your friends asleep
Shit, I'm taking Rome to Miami Beach
Still find myself waking up at night
Maybe this the perfect place
We both chose this scene, we chose this life
No matter what they say
Life's never what it seems
But it's still real to me
Tell me lies, tell me lies, girl
Tell me lies, tell me lies
It ain't no fantasy (ain't no fantasy)
But ooh, I still believe (ooh, I still believe)
Tell me lies, tell me lies, girl
Tell me lies, tell me lies
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh
Music never changed for me, I do this faithfully
When I'm in my bag, I need a bag, baby, pray for me
Some things never changed for me
Girl, you're still the same to me
What happens out in Vegas, stays in Vegas
You don't need to see
Told me don't bring the trouble home
Was it wrong if it's never known?
All the nights that you spent alone
Now I wonder what you really on
Out there playing me, the things that they say to me
Going crazy, girl, you must be mistaken me
Karma killing me, that bitch is cold
How this ends, girl I'll ever know
Still find myself waking up at night
Maybe this the perfect place
We both chose this scene, we chose this life
No matter what they say
Life's never what it seems (never what it seems)
But it's still real to me
When you
Tell me lies, tell me lies, girl
Tell me lies, tell me lies
It ain't no fantasy (ain't no fantasy)
But ooh, I still believe (ooh, I still believe)
Tell me lies, tell me lies, girl
Tell me lies, tell me lies
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
The song "Lies" by Marc A. Pullen/Toby Collins Jr. seems to be about a tumultuous relationship where both parties are aware the other is not truthful, but choose to ignore it. The lyrics suggest that the man in the relationship is aware that the woman is lying to him, but is willing to overlook it because he believes she is still attracted to him. The man also admits to being unfaithful as well, suggesting that both parties have their own secrets and are not completely honest with each other. Despite the lies and dishonesty, the man still chooses to believe in the relationship and has faith that they can work it out.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "tell me lies, tell me lies, girl" which could be interpreted as the man wanting the woman to continue lying to him because he is willing to look past it. The lyrics "life's never what it seems, but it's still real to me" also suggest that the man is aware that the relationship may not be perfect, but he still values it and wants to make it work.
Overall, "Lies" portrays a relationship where both parties are aware of the dishonesty, but choose to stay together despite it. It highlights themes of insecurity, trust, and the desire to believe in someone even when they are not completely honest.

You could be just as bad as me
I'm not the only one making mistakes
That would be such a tragedy
It would make things worse if we both keep messing up
Yellin' at me like "Who is she?"
You're accusing me of cheating again
Probably what attract you to me
My bad behavior is what you find intriguing about me
Girls trip, flyin' out to Greece
You went on vacation with your friends without me
You didn't pay for those private seats
You spent a lot of money on your trip
Can't FaceTime when your friends asleep
We didn't talk much while you were away
Shit, I'm taking Rome to Miami Beach
I'm living my life without thinking of the consequences
Still find myself waking up at night
I'm haunted by my choices
Maybe this the perfect place
Being with you is where I belong
We both chose this scene, we chose this life
We both chose a lifestyle that comes with its own set of issues
No matter what they say
Other people's opinions don't matter
Life's never what it seems
Things are not always as they appear
But it's still real to me
Regardless of the illusion, it's still my reality
Tell me lies, tell me lies, girl
I don't want to hear the truth
It ain't no fantasy (ain't no fantasy)
What we have is real
But ooh, I still believe (ooh, I still believe)
I still have hope
Music never changed for me, I do this faithfully
My love for music never wavers
When I'm in my bag, I need a bag, baby, pray for me
When I'm in a creative zone, I need support
Some things never changed for me
There are certain things I will always love
Girl, you're still the same to me
You're still the woman I fell in love with
What happens out in Vegas, stays in Vegas
What we do in our personal lives should stay private
You don't need to see
To protect you, I won't share everything with you
Told me don't bring the trouble home
You warned me not to bring our problems into our home
Was it wrong if it's never known?
Is it really wrong if you don't find out?
All the nights that you spent alone
You were lonely while I was away
Now I wonder what you really on
I'm suspicious of your actions
Out there playing me, the things that they say to me
People are saying things that make me question your loyalty
Going crazy, girl, you must be mistaken me
I'm going crazy trying to figure out the truth
Karma killing me, that bitch is cold
I'm paying for my past actions
How this ends, girl I'll ever know
I don't know what the future holds for us
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh

6 years still no comments, so im gonna say here that i really love your unique vocal and style. Like the tuning of the instruments and stuff like that. It really sounds so different that everything i hear in some metal bands. It makes me come back to your music and songs very often to hear and feel that refreshing different unique sound. Right now im creating a fictional character living between world of the living and dead, someone who see spirits of living beings and life flowing in the plants, tree roots, and even grass. And ur music really helps me with motivation but also inspiration. Thank you Marc for your music and hope you have really nice day as u read it!

Verse 1:
Settled for your compliance of all the evil outside of your realm
You've sold your soul, you spineless coward
Pre-Chorus:
You can't deny what we both know now
Beyond your sight lies your past
Catching up fast, you'll pay the price
Rambling:
Death haunts your dreams
Countless screams wake you from your sleep
Hollowed inside
You suffer, your're torutred alive
Why won't they let me die?
Must I suffer endlessly?
This was more than I bargined for
I'm forever trapped at deaths door
Chorus:
You'll never break me
I can't be punished forever
I'll win in the end
Mortal I am
Verse 2:
Fear is overtaking your sight, you can't confront your destiny
All you've fought for has been lost in a short time
Pre-Chorus:
You can't deny what we both know now
Beyond your sight lies your past
Catching up fast, you'll pay the price

While a fury cracks my skull
A calming rage I keep at bay
I live this hell every day

You
Shocking my brain
Keeping me sane
Bleeding like rain
All this time I feel the pain
Fading out
I scream and shout
No one can hear me
What is happening to me?
Kill me already
Why can't you end this fucking misery
I serve my master
I serve her well
No questions asked, no lies told
I've earned my hell

Intro Verse
=====================
When you try to escape
You're called back into this realm
Haunting images scar my memories
Involuntary subconscience
Fade into my memories
Fade into my reality
===================
Verse:
===================
Feeding on your life force
Spiritual asphyxiation
Fight until your last breath
Whore - Denied
Life - Subside
You are helpless against me
You can't stop this
It's your time now
Come along, I'll see you through
===================
Chorus:
===================
Fade away
Frayed dismay
The skies turned gray
As I kneel at your grave
It haunts me to this day
===================
Bridge:
===================
I wander in this realm
I falter, I sin
I don't know where to go
In death, none can find the way

Only I cry

Verse 1
----------------------
While I wait for you
Time stands still
For I cannot become
What was meant to be
Everyone else sees
What they want to see
While I wait for you
Time stands still - for you

On My Throne
Alone

Drums: Grimwold
-------------------------------------------------
My blind eyes
See your lies
Wide is my reach
Into your mind
I can see
All you hide
I won't believe what you say
I see your minds eye
Never before, have I been in such control
Never before, I feel the pain I make you cause
Eruption, obstruction, doesn't matter to me
You've used and abused, you're worthless to me
You'll always be
-------------------------------------------------
Track: 07 - 26:59 - Pain
Drums: _zerofx
-------------------------------------------------
Endless sinking
Fight your way from within
Tearing and shredding
For you cannot breathe
You're drowning in fear
The life within, destroys
Resistance is a waste of energy
Endure what you can
The pain makes you real, as you waste away
The pain sustains, engraves
Leaves you scarred and broken
No one hears your screams
You can't break me
You won't take my soul away
I'll take your misery
I hate the mystery
You won't take my soul away
Ending my life
I wish to die
On my own terms
My destiny
My completion
I am my own master
I live on...
-------------------------------------------------
Track: 08 - 31:06 - Lies
Drums: Toby Collins Jr. (Tobester)
-------------------------------------------------
Fight amongst yourselves
You want no one else to succeed
For it won't be long
Until you've outlived your usefulness
-------------------
As tears fall upon your lifeless body
You sense you died for a purpose
Your reward won't be long
You remain calm
--------------------
Fallen Gods before me
Can't begin to see my plan
Rise, you will obey
On my command
Your frayed minds belong to me
------------------------
Engage my enemy
They pay so dearly
My army of drones
Will hunt down all of you
---------------------------
Lies
