【SOLARIA】 'Cause I'm A Liar 【SynthV Cover】

I think I'm just barely late for ‪@MckiRobynsP‬ 's contest, but that wasn't really the point I suppose; I just really like this song and wanted to cover it, especially the remix. I figure I may as well throw my hat in the ring while I'm at it; this has been in my drafts for ages. *Before I forget, I already have SV Pro. In the event I were to win first, I would defer to the second place winner. There are a lot of really awesome entries to this contest, though! Go check them out if you haven't already, it's lovely to see.

The original (+ vsqx) -    • 【Fukase】'Cause I'm a Liar (Kokichi Om...  
The remix (+ instrumental)    • 【Fukase V5】'Cause I'm a Liar (2018 RE...  

I'm also guessing that the choice of Solaria for this cover as opposed to like, Yuma, is questionable, but A) I preferred how she sounded and B) I guess this is the third time I've had Solaria sing from Ouma's perspective (First being Waltz of the Departed (tumblr.com/spontaneousglitterbees/704663489807024128) and second being eight hundred (   • 【SOLARIA】eight hundred - Amalgamix【En...  )) so I hope that's not too arbitrary for you.

Sorry for not making a more engaging video like the original, but this was much more an exercise in mixing vocals. I did it in like three sections and had a hard time getting them to sit in the mix, but after learning some new tricks I think it came out better than I could do before!

I also chose to leave off the vocals at the very end because something about Kokichi madly laughing, fully alone at last, was very fitting.

--------------------------------------------
Oh, how disgusting.
All this disguising
to become somebody worth the time of day.
Oh it's repulsing:
fully engulfing
every truth that ever found itself hiding.

So join me hey,
let's play
a lying game,
and dirty ourselves
with something exciting!
Deceiving
and heartless thieving;
after all, life is so dull without some bleeding!

Put on your mask and let's have us one last masquerade,
dancing senselessly on the shadows of the betrayed!
A smiling and crying and lying charade.
Such is life for a boring existence...
'cause I'm a-

Liar, liar,
and only that is true. After all,
fire, fire,
is something I pursue. Just call out
"Liar, liar!" and I'll infect you too
with the addictive taboo
of bidding the truth adieu.

Trust me!
That's a lie, such a lie for a lie.
You see,
I can't pry my own dyed scheming eyes.
So please,
forgive my falsified truthful lies.
Truly
lying!
'Cause I'm a liar!

Oh how appalling,
the lies are crawling
and covering every single little bit.
Oh, how revolting,
and full of loathing.
It's nauseating.
(Exhilarating, isn't it?)

Manipulating,
hardly pulsating,
a heart like that is the only one that's free.
Without emotion,
without devotion,
it's much easier to tell them you're happy.

So join me hey,
let's play
a lying game.
And cover ourselves
with something inviting.
Rewriting
and truly driving
a story that was meant to end with painful feelings.

Put on your mask and let's have us one last masquerade,
dancing senselessly on the shadows of the betrayed!
A smiling and crying and lying charade.
Such is life for a boring existence...
'cause I'm a-

Liar, liar,
and only that is true. After all,
fire, fire,
is something I pursue. Just call out
"Liar, liar!" and I'll infect you too
with the addictive taboo
of bidding the truth adieu.

'Cause I'm a liar....

Peek-a-peek-a-boo,
ha ha, I found you
hiding from the truth.
But that's nothing new...
Peek-a-peek-a-boo,
I can see right through,
liars know their kind
like you know the back of your own-
hand.

It's bland.
Such an existence where everything goes as planned.
Wasteland
is much more fun to navigate and understand.
That's why
I cast it aside for this world made out of lies.
That's why.
... Was there ever truly blue in my sky?

So put on your mask, and let's have us one last masquerade;
dancing senselessly on the shadows of the betrayed.
A smiling and crying and lying charade.
Such is life for the boring existence of a liar....

Am I a
liar, liar,
does it seem that way to you?
After all,
fire, fire,
is burning through the roof
'cause we're all-

Liars! Liars!
And I don't know what's true, after all
fire, fire, has ravaged all I knew!
I call out "Liar, liar!"
but the world's gone askew,
really what more can I do
except bid the truth adieu...

Trust me!
What's a lie, is it lies, only lies?
You see!
I can't pry blinded eyes while I cry!
So please,
look past my blackened sky full of lies.
Truly
lying!

Hate me!
This disguise might incise only lies.
You see!
Nothing's left here to save in my eyes!
So please,
let me tell you my last crushing lie.
Truly
lying!

Truly...
dying.

'Cause I'm a liar!
