about

This song was written as part of the Liverpool Acoustic 24-Hour Song writing Challenge.

It starts by giving artists a topic and 24 hours to create a piece of artwork.
The paintings are then displayed to musicians who are then given the next 24 hours to write and record a song.
The theme this year was "Retrospection" and we chose a painting by Mike Goodwin. Check out more of his art here: dot-art.co.uk/product-category/mike-goodwin/

If you're interested in seeing the original live demo we submitted a couple of hours after writing the song, check it out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8fXpWFy5K4&t=0s

lyrics

I wish that I could leave a pile of blame at your front door
I could let our friends all know the score
They'd gather 'round me in my house to drink and sympathize
They always did believe all of my lies

'Cos no one saw me roll the stone away
Steal the sacred treasure that was hidden in the cave
Everybody's looking for the truth
One of us was lying and the other one was you
One of us was lying and the other one was you

Nobody owns nobody, yes sir that's what I believe
So there really is no need for you to grieve
If I was my brother's keeper you would have a point to make
Someone else can do the keeping while I take

'Cos no one saw me sneaking out the door
Carrying my reasons I made up the night before
Everybody's looking for some truth
One of us was lying and the other one was you
One of us was lying and the other one was you

I don't need to make a firm commitment
Don't we weave the stories that we tell?
And if I conceive it then believe it
It might work just as well

I expect in retrospect that I will justify
Every time that I spit right into your eye
But for now I guess I'll let this guilt eat me alive
And let the sweet regret fill me inside

'Cos no one saw me sneaking out the door
Carrying my reasons I made up the night before
Everybody's looking for some truth
One of us was lying and the other one was you
One of us was lying and the other one was you
One of us was lying and the other one was you
One of us was lying and the other one was you
