Disclaimer: I don't own Persona 4 or the lyrics to Never Lies.
As the instrumental begins a clock can be heard ticking and if you were to take a gander at this clock then you would see that it was a minute till midnight.
Everyone in Inaba is sleeping except for three people. It's raining heavily as the instrumental begins to hype up a little.
[Intro: Tohru Adachi]
And he's shrouded by lies
And he's shrouded by lies
the instrumental plays a little more as it zooms in on an extremely paranoid looking man named Namatame.
[Tohru Adachi - Verse 1:]
Yeah
He just sits, and watches the people in the boxes
Everything he sees, he absorbs and adopts it
He mimics and he mocks it
And he hates the box but he cant remember how to stop it
(uh) So he continues to watch it
Hopin that it can give him somethin he can save the next victim
Or how the silhouette seen, can be protected
Locked in the box and aint got the combination to unlock it
Thats why he watches, scared to look away
Cuz at that moment it might show him what to take off the locks with
So he chained himself to the box, took a lock and then he locked it
Swallowed the combination and then forgot it
As the doctors jot it all down with they pens and pencils
The same ones that took away his sanity and just left this instrumental, like damn
[Toro Namatame - Chorus:] (Adachi in parentheses.)
And he's shrouded by lies
(he's shrouded by lies, he's shrouded by lies, uh)
And he's shrouded by lies
(he's shrouded by lies, he's shrouded by lies)
And he's shrouded by lies
(he's shrouded by lies)
Cuz he never said anything at all
He's shrouded by li-es…
As the instrumental plays Souji moves to his window and stares out at the dreary
raining sky and then he glanced back at the flashing tv.
[Tohru Adachi - Verse 2:]
He just sits, and listens to the people in the boxes
Everything he hears, he absorbs and adopts it
Anything not comin out the box he blocks it
See he loathes the box and hopes that he can stop it
Anything the box tell him to do, he does it
Anything it tells him to get, he shops and crops it
He protects the people in the box, researches the victims in the box when he goes
to sleep
But he never sleeps
Cuz he stays up to watch it, scared to look away
Cuz at that moment person's life might get stolen
And that'd be another murder in the fog
So he chained himself to the box, took a lock and locked it
Swallowed the combination and then forgot it
As the doctors jot it all down with they pens and pencils
The same ones that took away his righteousness and just left his instrumental, like
damn
[Namatame - Chorus:](Adachi in parentheses)
And he's shrouded by lies
(he's shrouded by lies, he's shrouded by lies)
And he's shrouded by lies
(he's shrouded by lies, he's shrouded by lies)
And he's shrouded by lies
(he's shrouded by lies)
Cuz he never said anything at all, anything at all
(he's shrouded by lies)
[Souji Seta - Interlude :]
And you won't tell me just who you are
You hide behind the mystery
You build a wall just to hide yourself
There's no way you can go back to the startx2
[Tohru Adachi - Chorus:]
And he never lies
(he's shrouded by lies, he's shrouded by lies, uh)
And he's shrouded by lies
(uh, he's shrouded by lies, he's shrouded by lies)
And he's shrouded by lies
(he's shrouded by lies)
Cuz he never said anything at all, anything at all
[Adachi - Fading Out:]
And I won't tell you just who I am
You by new clothes just to hide those scars
You build that roof just to hide those stars
Now I don't want to take it back to the start
[Namatame - Fading Out:]
And I am the savior of all the victims
I have no choice but to hide these scars
I've built a roof just to hide those stars
Now I can't go back to the start
[Souji - Fading Out:]
And you won't tell me just who you are
You hide behind the mystery
You build a wall just to hide yourself
There's no way you can go back to the start
The instrumental continues for a few more seconds as the midnight channel begins and it shows a silhouette wearing a kimono.
Author's Note: This is a song called Never Lies by Lupe Fiasco. I changed the lyrics slightly to reflect the characters thoughts. Anyway Review.
