General information
Written by: A. Lee and B. Moody[1]
Lies is the ninth track from Evanescence's demo album, Origin.
Bruce Fitzhugh of Living Sacrifice provided the male vocals and Stephanie Pierce provided the female soprano-style backup vocals. Later, this song was remade with Amy and David's vocals with different lyrics.
Amy on Lies:[2]

We had Bruce Fitzhugh, from Living Sacrifice, come in and do a guest vocal on the song called "Lies", which is really cool; he's a friend of ours. We're friends with the band Living Sacrifice. Rocky Gray, our drummer, played guitar for Living Sacrifice. That was when I was in high school. Gosh, that was so long ago. It was all experimental back then. |

This is one of Evanescence's shortest titles of all their songs, sharing this with Sick.
Lies was aired on the radio in the summer of 2000, before Origin was released[3]. The Blitz trasmission, KABF 88.3 FM, had already aired several Evanescence songs.

Lyrics
Origin version
Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear
Sealed with lies through so many tears
Lost from within, pursuing the end
I fight for the chance to be lied to again
You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above
They'll never see
I'll never be
I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me
But through my tears breaks a blinding light
Birthing a dawn to this endless night
Arms outstretched, awaiting me
An open embrace upon a bleeding tree
Rest in me and I'll comfort you
I have lived and I died for you
Abide in me and I vow to you
I will never forsake you
They'll never see
I'll never be
I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me
They'll never see
I'll never be
I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me
Rest in me, I'll comfort you
I have lived and died for you
Abide in me, I vow to you
I will never forsake you
They'll never see
I'll never be
I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me
Post-Origin demo
Bind [Bind] my limbs with fear [fear]
Choke me with tears [tears]
I won't die for you
You've [you've] been here before [before]
And come back for more [more]
But not this time
You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above
Somebody tell me what made us all believe you
I should have known all along it was all a lie
I should have known it was all a lie
Now [now] I know the truth [truth]
I'm through fearing you [you]
And I am free
You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above
Somebody tell me what made us all believe you
I should have known all along it was all a lie [lie]
I should have known it was all a lie
Somebody tell me what made us all believe you
I should have known all along it was all a lie [lie]
Somebody tell me what made us all believe you
[I should have known] I should have known it was all a lie
I should have known it was all a lie
