A lie is a statement that is known or intended by its source to be misleading, inaccurate, or false. The practice of communicating lies is called lying, and a person who communicates a lie may be termed a liar. Lies may be employed to serve a variety of instrumental, interpersonal, or psychological functions for the individuals who use them. Generally, the term "lie" carries a negative connotation, and depending on the context a person who communicates a lie may be subject to social, legal, religious, or criminal sanctions. In certain situations, however, lying is permitted, expected, or even encouraged. Because believing and acting on false information can have serious consequences, scientists and others have attempted to develop reliable methods for distinguishing lies from true statements.
As defined by Sartre, "bad faith" is lying to oneself. Specifically, it is failing to acknowledge one's own ability to act and determine one's possibilities, falling back on the determinations of the various historical and current totalizations which have produced one as if they relieved one of one's freedom to do so.
Liars is a three-piece band formed in 2000 and currently consisting of Angus Andrew (vocals/guitar), Aaron Hemphill (percussion, guitar, synth), and Julian Gross (drums) from Los Angeles. They have released seven studio albums and are signed to Mute Records. Having gone through a number of line-up and genre changes since incarnation, they combine elements of punk-rock with electronica.
The genesis of the band can be traced to Los Angeles, where Andrew (and Gross) were enrolled at Cal Arts, studying in the Photography Program. Hemphill had studied microbiology in Junior College in San Diego, but was then employed in LA at a record store. Upon meeting, Andrew and Hemphill began their collaboration on four-track recordings. Once Andrew had completed art school, they relocated to New York together and after responding to a well-placed want ad, Pat Noecker (bass, formerly of Neuromancer, Urethra Franklin, and Opium Taylor) and Ron Albertson (drums, formerly of Mercy Rule) joined to become the band's rhythm section.
A liar is a person who tells a lie.

Come on now it’s getting late
And this beautiful night and lake cannot wait
Let’s strip the moonlight down and feel around
Follow through with the things we dream and say we
cannot wait
you grip my waist
your skin and taste
caught up in a wave
You grip my fantasy
and put the life into me
one kiss is all I need
but that kiss is everything...
Take my hand
pull me closer
your touch is seducing
wherever you want
I’ll follow your lead
my hands, my eyes
are loosing direction...
I’ve lost all direction
out of control
but now I’ve found
my perfection
Give and take is the game we play
With each breath we crave a passion to create
you fascinate me eager to reach closer to me
we feel no pain at least for the time being
because this is something I’m longing
You grip my fantasy
and put the life into me
one kiss is all I need
but that kiss is everything...
Take my hand
pull me closer
your touch is seducing
wherever you want
I’ll follow your lead
my hands
my eyes are loosing direction...
I’ve lost all direction
out of control
but now I’ve found
my perfection
I’m right where I want to be
It’s ok you can come now
