"Such sweet lies"

ずっと真夜中でいいのに。 / Bite the Second Hand  (English Cover)

-
I adore this song, I was very late to discovering it and Zutomayo in general so I know I'm like 4 years to late on this cover. However it was a very fun and difficult challenge to cover and I really did enjoy it.

I do gotta say it is one of the most difficult songs I've covered vocally, there is just so much going on vocally. Plus this song requires so much power to be constantly put in when singing it's just exhausting lol. The fact that Zutomayo does it so well and effortlessly is a joy to listen to and I hope you all enjoy my cover!

Lyrics

Flying like a dream always another lie that we’re sippin’
Say “I’m fine” and commit the end line
Thoughts just filled with sin, driftin’ through this life we’re livin’
Laughing through the crying again

“Everything is good with me” but, really just another lie I say unthinkin’
Silent the lies consuming my life
Throwing it all away, coming to end it all is sinkin’
Drowning long before I begin, never let it end

Down in the fire, burning the liars, 
ringing as the ticking clock resounds through the tired dreams
But it’s never breaking, time’s not delaying
Trudging on not thinking ‘bout a thing, no light as I sing, I only want to

Take it and break from this ugly life
The two of us strangers I guess that it’s fine, just promise
Never oh never you’ll cry to me, so plainly
I don’t need such empty aimless kinda words to comfort me

That’s the burden right? Guess that’s just how it is I’m thinkin’
I’ll be waiting the same ‘till my body breaks
Yeah it seems crazy right? But I never really lived just drifted
Thinking of you through all I did

My eyes and ears now, all fail and fade from everything
I’m always mourning, so numb I can’t even think
So stop your searching, too filled with hurting now I just
Fade from life it seems, only just a dream, stop and drown me

Lungs filled with fire, burning the liars, 
ringing as the ticking clock resounds through the tired dreams
But it’s never breaking, the time’s not delaying
Trudging as the music tears and screams, I only want to

Take it and break from this ugly life
The two of us strangers I guess that it’s fine, just promise
Never oh never you’ll cry to me, so plainly
I don’t need such empty aimless kinda words to comfort me 

Screaming or praying to morning daylight
Pitifully laughing within the called time
Nobody’s fault and I guess that yeah it’s fine
We all want someone to take the blame right?

“Tell me oh how was your day now?”
You hide but there’s really no doubt
I’m being left behind but always will try and hold out

I only want to take it and break from this ugly life
I only want to take it and break from this ugly life

I only want to take it and break from this ugly life
The two of us strangers I guess that it’s fine, just promise
Never oh never you’ll cry to me, so plainly
“Why won’t you listen to me? You’re all that I’ll ever need.”
I kick and scream but time again it seems I’m never really free

Such sweet lies
