I Don't Keep With Liars Anymore
The Bled Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see right through you
When you sing it back to me
I read that fine print
And I saw you staggering

Regurgitate the shit you find
In the dirty dreams of a rapist's mind
Congratulate the corpse you drag
Put the money in the body bag
Right in front of us

The stop and start machine
You've been singing with the liar's tongue
With every crippled word you said to me
With every fractured breath and broken glare
You were pawning off your babies' debt with a cold paycheck

Abandon what you built, repair your hope with guilt
There's nothing left here to suffocate
With razor wire arms you reach and miss the throat
There's nothing left to love about this city anymore
The politics and the hired whore

Now, save your breath
Now, save your breath
Did this to yourself
You can't repair the punctured lung
Secrets seep through the stress cracks

Shut your mouth,[Incomprehensible] shut your mouth
Shut your mouth
You did this to yourself
Now shut your mouth and pay the rent
Shut your mouth and pay the rent

You say it like your life depends
On believing in your own lie
You say it like your life depends
On believing in your own lie

I see right through you when you sing it, when you sing it
I see right through you when you sing it
I see right through you when you sing it
Sing it back to me

Now, say it like your life depends
On believing in your own lie




Now, say it like your life depends
On believing in your own lie

Overall Meaning

The song "I Don't Keep With Liars Anymore" by The Bled is a scathing indictment of both individuals who lie and society's tendency to reward and enable dishonesty. The lyrics suggest that the singer can see through the lies of those around him, as indicated by "I see right through you when you sing it back to me." The song also implies that the act of lying is a form of violence, as seen in the line "Regurgitate the shit you find in the dirty dreams of a rapist's mind." The singer urges the liar to abandon their destructive behavior and face the reality of their actions.


The chorus, "Now shut your mouth and pay the rent," suggests that the liar owes a debt to society for their lies and should face the consequences of their dishonesty. The repeated use of the phrase "believe in your own lie" suggests that the liar has become trapped in their falsehoods and may no longer be able to distinguish between truth and lies. The song's powerful message warns against the dangers of dishonesty and urges people to seek the truth, even if it may be uncomfortable or unpleasant.
