Treis - Convenient Lies

Copied!

Tell me what you want from me
And I will give it twice over
Just to get the chance to hold you closer if you agree

Have I said too much? Or maybe not enough
To justify the lies, well baby maybe I'm just out of touch?

Can I be honest? Even for a minute
As it slips between the creases of my fabricated responses?

See lately I’ve been feeling down
And really sweetie it’s only been when you’ve come slithering around

Is that what you want to hear?
Is that what you want to hear?

So, tell me that you’ll change Enough to make it worth the patience;
Stay complacent and remain in this rotting space

Your love is just an alibi
Convenient lies you tell yourself pretending you are not the driver of our demise

Can you be honest?
Would kill you just to spill the contents of your mind without all the parallel falseness?

See lately I’ve been feeling down
And really sweetie it’s only been when you’ve come slithering around

Is that what you want to hear?
Is that what you want to hear?

edit bio

Treis (or Treis & Friends) is a conceptual Singer/Songwriter project based out of Central Florida, USA. Named after frontman Treis Alexander, the project documents events throughout the singer’s life in a combination of ever-evolving sound, brutal lyrical honesty, and multi-perspective narratives, while using suburbia, classicism, and popular iconography as tools to tell the story.

Treis' style varies greatly from album to album. In their debut project “HOUSES,” the singer takes a quiet, instrumentally bare, and lyrically heavy take on nostalgia, the naivety of childhood, and the concept of what makes a House a home. Meanwhile, their follow up project, “Homesick” moves towards a more electronic pop sound, and focuses more on metaphor (rather than the storyteller writing featured on the first album) to tell their story. In 2020, Treis revealed the singles “Familiar Strangers,” “The Morning After,” “Midnight Wine,” and “No Compromise,” for their third LP “Something Like Home,” which revealed a new sound of heady, cerebral, “Suburban Funk” inspired by Nu-Disco and Synthwave artists of the last four decades, mixed with the introspective, narrative lyrical styling of their early works.

The band consists of members Treis Alexander (Singer, and instrumentalist), Alex Canon (Bassist), and Rafael Castro (Drums).
