Run Boy Run EP - 2022
Funeral of a Choir Boy EP - 2024

LIAS COMPLETE

A breakup song, which, through vivid snapshots, captures what it means to fall out of love and come to terms with losing 'your person'. LIAS dives deep and takes you with him into the relatable void of heartbreak. Searching for answers while the foundations of the familiar crumble, leading to inevitable realisations: when the going gets rough, the only thing left to do is run boy run.

With the release of this single, LIAS invites you on a very personal journey of what it means to evolve – through spirals of depression, disorientation, fractured relationships – towards a stronger, more resilient, more assured self. Run Boy Run is the first single of an EP that will be released, song by song, over the coming months, inviting us to get lost and revel in the emotional tides of his personal story.

Run Boy Run

When our inner world is taken hostage by melancholy, it feels like we’re faced with a seemingly hopeless situation: no way out. Fighting the tide that pulls us down, we get lost in the depth of our emotions as we play pretend: a smile on the outside, empty on the inside. Lost.

Lyrics:
Oh I wish I could fake it 
Put a smile back on my face 
Somehow find a way back 
To the good old golden days

I couldn’t longer carry
Sadness torturing my soul 
Weight that pulled me down, so weary
Wondering how I lost control 

How do I tell you what troubles my mind? 
How do I fight all the lonely truth I hide? 

Oh I 

I'm lost 
Lost 
Lost 
Lost

Hate the mornings, never early
Sleep to hide out from the day 
Hard to talk about the future 
With the past still in my way 

Only patching up the surface 
While my inner world collides 
I can’t judge my own feelings 
Separate the wrong from right 

I want to tell you what troubles my mind 
No longer fight all the lonely truth I hide 
Oh I


I'm lost
Lost 
Lost 
Lost 

I’m out in the open 
Losing my mind 
Where is the ground that
I thought I could find 
Show it to my broken heart
Each finish line takes me back to start 

Lost
Lost

On the edge of dark temptations
Who’s the true self I shall find
Tear down the false facades and
Set me free to do what’s right 
Oh I 

I'm out in the open
Losing my mind 
Where is the ground that 
I thought I could find 
Show it to my broken heart
Each finish line takes me back to start 

Lost 
Lost

Lost

Hiding from ourselves is an exhausting, unrelenting game of chase. But as soon as we recognise and surrender to who and what we’re running from – and why –  the anchor is released, and we’re finally free. 

Lyrics:
I didn’t run 
So you would come chase after me 

I didn’t run 
So we would go play hide and seek 

I didn’t run 
Just to be caught up in the past 

Live in happy memories I know aren’t here to last 

You were trouble, trouble 
You were trouble, trouble 
You were trouble, trouble 
Ever since the start 

You were trouble, trouble 
You were trouble, trouble 
You were trouble, trouble 
Ever since the start 

I didn’t run 
To lose myself along the line 
I didn’t run
Just to move on, pretend I’m fine
I didn’t run 
Just to be lost out in the dark

Try to fill the cold dark void inside my empty heart

You were trouble, trouble 
You were trouble, trouble 
You were trouble, trouble 
Ever since the start 

You were trouble, trouble 
You were trouble, trouble 
Come and fill the void inside my empty heart

I don’t know nothing 'bout you 
I don’t nothing 'bout the way through 
I don’t know nothing ‘bout you
I don’t know nothing ‘bout the way through 

I don’t know nothing 'bout you 
(Don’t know nothing 'bout you)
I don’t nothing 'bout the way through 
(The way through)
I don’t know nothing 'bout you 
(Know nothing 'bout the)
I don’t nothing 'bout the way through 

(Know nothing 'bout the)
(Know nothing 'bout the)
(Nothing 'bout the way through)

You were trouble, trouble 
You were trouble, trouble 
You were trouble, trouble 
Ever since the start 

You were trouble, trouble 
You were trouble, trouble 
Come and fill the void inside my empty heart

I didn’t run 
So you would come chase after me 
I didn’t run 
So we would go play hide and seek

Hide and Seek

Some things resonate in silence and the truth of the unspoken lingers. When a joint future falls victim to the lost path of the individual, love remains, but still does not return. Hopeful, memories of good lay their silk cloth over the turmoil of darker days. However, a question remains: do you Need Me Now?

LYRICS

Hard to stay sober lately 
Guess I was a little unstable 
All I want is true love baby, don’t you?

You and I danced so pretty
Always high when you’re with me 
Couldn't give more than maybe, won’t you?

I fall out of love 
And can’t let go
Fall out of love 
But don’t know how 
Fall out of love 
Now you’re coming down 
Do you need me now 
Need me now?

Body numb, I can’t feel nothing 
Hit and run until I can feel something
Sorry I never meant to break your heart

Track of time, I can’t keep it 
Promised more, but didn’t see it 
Cut me loose to hide in secrets, don’t you?

If you fall out of love 
And can’t let go 
Fall out of love
But don’t know how
Fall out of love 
And you’re coming down
Do you need me now
Need me now?


I fall out of love 
But can’t let go 
Fall out of love 
And I don’t know how 
Fall out of love 
And I´m coming down 
Do you need me now
Need me now?

Need Me Now

COLD HANDS - LIAS 

This city always makes me sad 
It’s your running after me 
In the dream that I still have 
With those cold hands 
Reaching from the past 

Rumors have it we don’t talk 
But every time I leave 
I’m left grasping for words 
With my cold hands, my cold hands 

Walked the streets I used to own 
Floating in the memories 
Of days before the dawn
Before those cold hands
Were reaching from the past 

Now like a breeze of fading scenes 
Scared of letting go of pain 
That used to keep me safe 
In those cold hands 
Those cold hands 

Cold hands 
Cold hands

Funeral of a Choir Boy

Cold Hands

Kryptonite by LIAS

Lyrics
---- 

Drenched in sweat 
But our lips taste dry 
I kiss her but you’re on my mind 
Once so near 
Now I can’t feel you close 

Drunken souls 
Playing on wasted land 
Stumbling into the quicksand  
Just a game 
For love adrenaline 

So pull me up 
Just a little, oh just a little more 
Pull me up 
Just a little, oh just a little more 

Cause when I look in the face of a thousand lives 
Searching for truth in a world of lies 
Hand me a gun for my peace of mind 
Oh you’re my
Kryptonite

Woke up weary 
Now my chest is lead 
Late last night 
For the sins we bleed
First mistake 
Now is this where it ends 

But lights go on,
I see a little, I see a little more 
Yeah lights go on,
I see a little, I see a little more 

Cause when I look in the face of a thousand lives 
(A thousand lives)
(A thousand lives)
Searching for truth in a world of lies 
(A world of lies)
(A world of lies)
Just hand me a gun for my peace of mind 
Oh you’re my
Kryptonite

Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh

Lights go on,
I see a little, I see a little more 
Lights go on,
I see a little, I see a little more 

When I look in the face of a thousand lives 
(A thousand lives)
(A thousand lives)
Searching for truth in a world of lies 
(A world of lies)
(A world of lies)
Just hand me a gun for my peace of mind 
Oh you’re my
Kryptonite

Kryptonite

SWEET LOVE OF MINE - LIAS 

Come look at the night sky 
We fell at the right time 
Stars they shine so much brighter 
When they die 
When they die

The light of their past 
Foretelling what lasts 

Sweet love how I miss you
Sweet love since I kissed you
Sweet love how I miss you
Sweet love of mine 
Sweet love of mine 

Two souls floating like feathers 
When they get lost in space 
We were lonely together 
Pulled down by our weight
Pulled down by our weight

Memories on my mind 
Keep fading over time

Sweet love how I miss you
Sweet love since I kissed you
Sweet love how I miss you
Sweet love of mine 
Sweet love of mine

Sweet Love Of Mine

In the face of inevitable goodbye, "My Funeral" sparks a glimmer of hope amidst heartbreak, crafting a sonic canvas that captures the essence of life's melancholy.

LYRICS
My Funeral - LIAS 
_________
I went to my own funeral
And took you down with me
Emptiness inside my soul
Killed love where it should be

Brought roses to the graveyard
To say my last goodbye
But couldn’t find a word to say
Like rivers running dry

They said it was too early
They thought we still had time
But when you’re in love with an idea
Sometimes it’s hard to let it die

I picked the only flower
Bleeding from the thorn and
Far away I hear them sing
The Fallen’s lonely song

Each nail put in the coffin
Tears us further apart
Each stroke expands the distance
Of our two broken hearts

They said it was too early
They thought we still had time
But when you’re in love with an idea
Sometimes it’s hard to let it die

So take me home
And pull me closer
Just take me home
Wherever that may be
Take me home
Let’s talk it over
If this is last goodbye
It’s still so fucking hard to let us die

It’s so hard 
And I can’t just 
Let us die

My Funeral

GET YOUR LOVE - LIAS 

Broke my heart on a Monday 
And blamed it all on you 
I was telling it one way  
To give myself the blues 
And ain’t it funny 
How a lie becomes the truth 
And you make up your mind 

Made up problems
And a false excuse 
Oh what a fool
Draw me back to 
Get a fix from you 

And ain’t it funny 
How I split myself in two 
In order to get back on track and back to you 

Come and get your love 
Come and get your love 

Freezing shivers 
Running down my spine 
Oh I feel fine
An empty promise 
Tryin’ to keep me blind 
And ain’t it funny 
How we only see the truth 
When there is nothing left to use or left to lose 

Come and get your love 
Come and get your love 
Come and get your love 
Just come and get your love 
 
Oh 

Give a little more 
Give a little more 
Give a little more 
Just give a little more 

Give a little more 
Give a little more 
Give a little more 
Just give a little more 

Come and get your love
Just come and get your love
Come and get your love
Just come and get your love

Come and get your love
Come and get your love
Come and get your love

Get Your Love

Truly understanding ourselves is one of the biggest challenges of our lives. Navigating the tension between past beliefs and visions for his future, LIAS confronts himself with his innermost fears of an inevitable question: Who am I, truly? And which part must I let die in order to be that person?

LYRICS
Who I Was  - LIAS 
_________
I shot a guy
Full of lies
Now I’m believing
Looked him right
In the eye
With the part of me that
Hung him out
High and dry
With his wound still bleeding
I put the cross on his back

And suddenly the abyss next to my heart
Opens up with love and pain from the past
Suddenly I see it, believe it
Know I can reach it
I know
Oh I know

I took him right to the edge
Where the world was ending
And all his fear
To finish last
What a young man’s burden
Took him right to the light
Oh of that I’m certain
I was dead now I rise again

And suddenly the abyss next to my heart
Opens up with love and pain from the past
Suddenly I see it, believe it
Know I can reach it
I know
Oh I know

And suddenly the abyss next to my heart
Opens up with love and pain from the past
Suddenly I see it, believe it
Know I can reach it

The abyss next to my heart
Opens up with love and pain from the past
Suddenly I see it, believe it
Know I can reach it
I know
Oh I know

The abyss next to my heart
Opens up with love and pain from the past
Suddenly I see it, believe it
Know I can reach it
I know
Oh I know

That’s just who I was

Lyrics
______
I tried avoiding tricky conversations
That haunted me 
I tried letting go of the man I’m chasing 
But was caught too deep
His voice in my head and I keep breaking 
Cause I couldn’t see
That all of your funny accusations 
Were hurting me  

Yeah yeah 

Love Me
Hold Me 
Hate Me 

Cause I’m getting stuck in 
Circles
Slowly
Fading 

I try to let go of 
All the 
Heavy 
Weight but 

Saturday night goes on 
And on, yeah 
Saturday night goes 

Your porcelain skin was my mistake now
It’s draining me 
Filling the void with cheaper thrills                     
Seeking intimacy 
Cause nothing compares to fuck with feelings 
As mom taught me 
They’re calling it reverie for a reason 
So bittersweet 

Cause I don’t think you notice 
When it’s coming to an end 
Let’s tell our friends we blew this 
I’ve done it again and again and again and again 

Oh 

Love Me
Hold Me 
Hate Me 

Cause I’m getting stuck in 
Circles
Slowly
Fading 

I try to let go of
All the 
Heavy 
Weight but 

Saturday night goes on 
And on 

Oh Come here boy 
Yeah I know you got what it takes 

Oh Come here boy 
Yeah I know you got what it takes 

Oh Come here boy 
Yeah I know you got what it takes 

Oh Come here boy 
Yeah I know you got what it takes 

Oh 

Love Me
Hold Me 
Hate Me 

Cause I’m getting stuck in 
Circles

Love Me
Hold Me 
Hate Me 

Cause I’m getting stuck in 
Circles
Slowly
Fading 

I try to let go of 
All the 
Heavy 
Weight but 

Saturday night goes on 
And on
