Lie, Lie, Lie

'Lie, Lie, Lie' hearkens back to those great songs of the '70's... or atleast it's supposed to. The track begins with a horrendous buzz and background noise. All just part of the special sound. We brought in Dave Sprinkle (yes, Aaron and Jesse's dad) as well as our youth pastor, Craig Finley, to sing background vocals. Lastly, we added a good 'clap' track to round it out.
 Intended to tell a story, it starts with a typical person who is tired of the day-to-day grind and sets out to find something more fulfilling. In the process they leave behind all the things they've grown up believing. The bridge is the turn around point where our subject ends up in a hotel room, alone and confused, and finally turns to the Lord. The last verse completes the turn-around, focusing not just on the quick fix but setting sights on Christ in all things.
 tired of seven hours a day
 and weekends that go too fast
 i set my sights on boardwalk streets
 and a sunset that will last
 i grabbed my coat and told my friends
 that i was going away
 just a few long miles and a few good smiles
 and i'll have my love today
 ohh, lie, lie, lie
 why must i look so hard?
 ohh, lie, lie, lie
 must i be so far?
 intent on a life that is what i dream
 i set out to be free
 turned my check on my beliefs
 with whatever in front of me
 sick of words like 'trust' and 'hope'
 and 'hey man, you got to be good'
 but if i want i'll sit and stare
 all day at the clouds like i wished i could
 and just for tonight
 a place to rest my head
 my syes were heavy
 but i found no peace in this bed
 with the silence around
 i felt so alone again
 well, i closed my eyes with lifted hands
 and i fell to my knees instead
 tired of tears and a broken heart
 and love that fades too fast
 i set my sights for golden streets
 and a joy that will ever last...
