About This Song

About "Poison Lies" by Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs And The Stanley Brothers

A venomous title belies the sweet, rolling melody underneath. Poison Lies drips with betrayal, each verse a barbed wire wrapped in honeyed harmony. The arrangement's brisk clip creates a jarring contrast: a cheerful surface masking the rot of deceit. Unsettling and irresistible.
