Saints in suits with perfect smiles
Strangling truth in pretty lies
Honesty comes with a price
Only the rich can buy
They cheer and never realize
They’re bleeding slow behind their eyes
“Faith will save you” — that’s the line
But saviors always take their side
Who’s the sinner, who’s the saint?
Lines are blurred in shades of gray
Point your finger at my face
Check the dirt upon your hands
This world is built on beautiful lies
The blind get burned, the fools pay the price
But I’m no different, I play my part
Smiling while I tear it apart
Power gained, money made
Climbing up on debts unpaid
Is it justice? Is it greed?
Tell me what you see
I’m a liar
Kindness fits me like a glove
But truth is something I don’t show
“For your sake,” I softly say
While I’m feeding my own throne
Every cheer cuts deeper in
Every win feels paper-thin
Still I push, I still compete
Only victors get to breathe
Waving flags of righteousness
Judging everyone I see
But behind the mirror glass
There’s another version of me
This world survives on polished lies
Even the wise pay sacrifice
You can’t survive on purity
So I trade mine easily
For your good or for myself?
Even I can’t truly tell
Saving face, protecting pride
Hiding what’s inside
I’m a liar
If I strip it all away
Who the hell would I become?
Built my kingdom on deceit
Now I’m scared of what I’ve done
Still I look you in the eyes
And I whisper, trust in me
This world is built on broken trust
I blamed the system, blamed the dust
Every scar I tried to hide
Was carved by my own lies
For your sake or just for me?
I think I know the truth I see
I never saved a single soul
I was saving me alone
I’m a liar
Just a liar
This world is built on beautiful lies
But I won’t run and I won’t hide
No more halo, no disguise
I’ll face the truth inside
Strip the money, burn the fame
Leave me naked with my shame
If there’s something left of me
Let it finally breathe
I’m a liar
I’m your liar
But I won’t hide anymore
Liar
Liar
I’m a liar
I wear the crown of lies
Smile like a saint
Think like a thief
Built my name
On your belief
I’m a liar
I won’t deny it
You’re a liar
Don’t turn away
You sell your soul
Every single day
Point your finger
Three point back
Call me evil
Check your mask
You’re a liar
Just like me
We’re all liars
In a world of lies
No one’s innocent
No one’s clean
I’m a liar
You’re a liar
This is who we are

ACEが放つ今作は、
「愛」「欺瞞」「炎上」という三つの“現代の火あぶり”を描いたダークトリロジー。
1. Gently
優しさの顔をした支配。
静かな言葉で壊されていく心。
叫びも暴力もないのに、
逃げ場のない愛に追い詰められていく。
“End me gently”という衝撃的なラインは、
死を望む言葉ではなく、
「この曖昧な苦しみを終わらせてくれ」という祈り。
静と狂気の境界線を歩く、
最も内面的で痛みの深い一曲。
2. LIAR
社会、成功、正義、そして自分自身。
誰もが“正しい顔”をして生きている世界で、
自分もまた嘘の一部だと認める楽曲。
批判でも告発でもなく、
告白。
“I’m a liar”と繰り返すことで、
他人ではなく自分にナイフを向ける。
そして最後には
“You’re a liar”と観客に突きつけることで、
会場全体を共犯者にする。
攻撃的でありながら、
極めて人間的な一曲。
3. Burning Alive
一つの過ちで世界中から裁かれる時代。
“炎上”という現代の火あぶりを、
中世の魔女裁判のイメージに重ねた楽曲。
バッシングする側と、される側。
どちらが罪なのか。
正義という名の石、
アルゴリズムという火。
それでも最後に残るのは、
「それでも俺は生きている」という宣言。
本作の象徴的トラック。
コンセプト
このシングルは、
愛に焼かれ
嘘に縛られ
正義に燃やされる
現代人の姿を描いている。
敵は他人ではない。
敵は“構造”であり、
そして自分自身。
重くて、痛くて、でも逃げない。
ACEの中でもかなり攻めた作品になってる。
