Lyrics
[Verse 1] Liars It's the fear that wakes us up The truth that things are such a mess... Far beyond repair

Your mind out of service Hard to find the words worth saying What'd we do to deserve this? Everything seems broken When you look at it that way

Oh it's a disease and there ain't no cure Oh, the truth is such a bore

[Chorus] Oh, do you want me to lie? ‘Cause I can do it, baby... I could do it Lie to you Please ask me to

‘Cause life feels such much better When we just avoid the truth Baby, are you okay to lie with me

[Verse 2] Deep in disgracе where empty retreats Farthеr than it seems to be (Where) The older I creak The pain in my body's Longing for the days in my teens Well, I guess I'll accept this carriage Death behind the wheel with my mama stabbing Jealousy here in the backseat

[Chorus] Oh, do you want me to lie? ‘Cause I could do it, baby... I could do it Lie to you I'm begging you ‘Cause life feels so much better When we just avoid the truth Baby, are you okay to lie with me?

[Interlude] Go on and lie, to me…

[Bridge] Baby, are you okay? Oh, Are you okay with it? Baby are you okay? Okay with it? Cause I could do it baby

[Chorus] Oh, do you want me to lie? ‘Cause I could do it, baby... I could do it Lie to you I'm begging you ‘Cause life feels so much better When we just avoid the truth Baby, are you okay to lie with me? Cause I can do it baby I could do it Lie to you I'm begging you Cause I'd feel so much better if we just avoid the truth

Baby are you okay to lie with me?

Music Video
On February 22, 2022, a music video for the single was released. It was a 3D animated video featuring the events of the first chapter in which Nia Worn and Nostrand Crane break into a HOSS pharmaceutical facility called "Cross Biopharmaceutical Therapeutic Research" to steal medicine they hope will help "heal" their son, Vaxis from whatever keeps him despondent. They eventually trip the guards and have to flee, releasing a fabled creature to help them escape. On board their ship, their robot companion A51 tends to their son. The video was directed by Marco Pavone.



On March 31, 2022, the band also released a live performance video shot and edited by Ernie Falconer, the band's tour manager. It was complied from several shows including Richmond, VA (for Claudio's close up) and New Haven, CT (for the crowd shots).

Background
The melody for this song was written right after Vaxis 1 was complete, but the lyrics started to take shape due to the pandemic with the idea that perhaps a false reality would be better to live in.
