A song about lies and the loss of cofiance that can have different layers and interpretations.
Who are the protagonists of the song? Who is lying to who? Are they lies within some kind of personal relationship? Lies that one tells oneself? Lies told by politicians?
[Chorus]
I woke up this morning with stones in my mouth
Said those were only the lies you've told me
Those are only the lies you've told me
[Verse 1]
I pulled my collar to the wind and spit them on the ground
You said those are only the lies you've told me
Those are only the lies you've told me
[Pre-Chorus]
Sat on the edge of our bed in the sun
I felt them gather on my tongue
[Chorus]
I woke up this morning with stones in my mouth
You said those are only the lies you've told me
Those are only the lies you've told me
[Verse 4]
The dirt-brown winter field
A thousand black crows cover the ground
You say those are only the lies you've told me
Those are only the lies you've told me
The autumn wind blows through the trees
As the dark leaves come tumbling down
You say those are only the lies you've told me
Those are only the lies you've told me
[Pre-Chorus]
I walk a highway washed in sun
I feel weight gather on my tongue
[Chorus]
I woke up this morning with stones in my mouth
You said those are only the lies you've told me
Those are only the lies you've told me
[Refrain]
Those are only the lies you've told me
(Only the lies you've told me)
Those are only the lies you've told me
(Only the lies you've told me)
Those are only the lies you've told me
(Only the lies you've told me)
Those are only the lies you've told me
[Outro]
I woke up this morning with stones in my mouth
