The Seed Of A Lie - Whisper Of Truth

[Lazz]

From the endless playlist a perfect pair from The Godfather, himself. From 1994's Sacrifice sessions, an album track, and a single track of (IMO) Numan's very best. Two sides of one very dark coin.

The Seed of a Lie
Gary Numan
I'm a ghost in the dark and I'm yours.
I belong in the past and I'm yours.
Like a song you forget, and I'm yours.
Like a dream in the night, and I'm yours.
The wrong place?
The wrong time?
I don't know.
The wrong face?
Yours or mine?
I don't know.
Like a tear when you sleep, I'll be yours.
Like a scar that won't fade, I'll be yours.
Like a pain in the cold, I'll be yours.
Like a fear in the heart, I'll be yours.
The wrong word when you cry
I will be
Like the seed of a lie
I will be
Like the germ of disease
I will be
Like the last one who cared
I will be
Like your shadow
I will haunt you
Do you remember?
I said to you
'Love is a mountain
But harder to climb.
It should be forever
But love is unkind
To me.
Don't let me down.
And you let me down

Whisper of Truth
Gary Numan
So I fall
Like the rain
Sometimes I almost cry again
I've seen my pictures
Peeling from walls
It's like a witness of truth
To the end of it all
Here we are
No-one came
I've been waiting for this for years
Do you wonder
How I'm feeling?
Did you whisper the truth
Like a memory of pain?
No angel
To guide me
No angel
Can find me
Walk away
Walk away from me
I won't cry, I won't cry
Take my life
Take my life from me
I won't cry, I won't cry
Like a whisper of truth
Save me.
