Lies Of Life

Lies Of Life was written as a letter to my younger self. My mother was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed, white woman and my father was a Morrocan-Israeli immigrant. Growing up, I always hid my fathers side of me. I remember kids throwing racist slurs my way, making fun of the fact I was Jewish, and the sad part is I felt at fault. I never stood up for myself as a kid. I never spoke up or felt pride in my heritage. This is a song for all those kids being made to feel ashamed of who they are. - Brandon Asraf "Lies of Life" There's something I want you to know The world's a cold dark place And nobody knows just where they're going When they yelling racist slurs at yah And you know that nothing really matters You can use your words like a hatchet To chop away the lies of life Cause... They ain't gonna be here They ain't gonna be here They ain't gonna be here They ain't gonna be here So long.. But you are gonna be here You are gonna be here You are gonna be here Singing that song It's true, do it for you They ain't gonna be there so long But you are gonna be there singing that song If they wanna live that hateful life You are gonna stand for what is right They ain't gonna be there so long But you are gonna be there so STRONG If they wanna live that hateful life You are gonna stand for what is right When they yelling racist slurs at yah And you know that nothing really matters You can use your words like a hatchet To chop away the lies of life The lies of life I wish it was more straightforward So I could make the pain just go away But I can't... They ain't gonna be here They ain't gonna be here They ain't gonna be here They ain't gonna be here So long.. But you are gonna be here You are gonna be here You are gonna be here Singing that song It's true, do it for you They ain't gonna be there so long But you are gonna be there singing that song If they wanna live that hateful life You are gonna stand for what is right They ain't gonna be there so long But you are gonna be there so STRONG If they wanna live that hateful life You are gonna stand for what is right “Lies of Life” Music and lyrics by Brick + Mortar Produced by Brick + Mortar and Roshane Karunaratne Recorded and engineered by Joe Costable at RAW Recordings Mastered by Mike Kalajian at Rogue Planet Mastering Additional instrumentation by Roshane Karunaratne Simulation animation by Anti Rannu @antirannus_3d Artwork by Richie Brown @RichieBrownTown Lyric Video edited by Brandon Asraf Category Music Music in this video Learn more Listen ad-free with YouTube Premium Song Lies of Life Artist Brick + Mortar Album Lies of Life Licensed to YouTube by Believe Music (on behalf of Brick + Mortar, LLC)
