Web Of Lies

(Style: folk, Art-pop / dream-pop ballad with male vocals; slow burn intro over warm bass swells and distant folk guitar plucks, close-micmed lead sitting on the edge of a whisper. Tension builds with airy pads, subtle strings and soft tom pulses; chorus blooms into cinematic drums, stacked background vocals and hazy reverb. Second half adds low brass and shimmering synth arps, then a dramatic drop to almost a cappella before the final, intimate refrain., ballad, art pop, dream pop)

Verse 1

At first I thought it was enough

Until it was not

One look of you

And I would have given up

Chorus

But we kept spinning

And spinning

Our web of lies

Verse 2

You said all those things

You said you didn’t mean

Just to hurt me enough

To make me want to scream

And I still hear your voice

In the middle of the night

Like mocking from the past

You held me like you loved me

Then left without a sound

Pre chorus (build up)

And I kept hoping

Still hoping

You’d come back

Chorus

But we kept spinning

And spinning

Our web of lies

Verse 3

your hands were always shaking

Every time you looked at me

Maybe love was never meant

To survive you and me

Maybe we were just two ghosts

Walking into walls

Cause every time I reached for you

You disappeared again

Leaving me with open wounds

I still pretend to mend

Bridge

So if you ask me now

If I still want you near

I’d probably lie again

Just to keep you here

Chorus

So we keep spinning

Spinning

Our web of lies
