State Of Grace
Nomeansno

First I tolf to myself there was no more than the sound

Of the wind through an open door, and if no one

Entered it was no crime ?at least it was none of

Mine, and all isaw I kept at bay, an empty heard

In an emtpy space, there was no reason for me to

Live, I had nothing to give, nothing to give


I closed my eyes and to my surprise my heard

Was beating I was still alive

Was there really nothing I could do?

No, it can抰 be true!

I抳e been lying to myself, lying to myself for so long

I抳e been lying to myself, lying to myself

And it can抰 go on

Cause I抦 lying in state, I抳e been lying in a state of grace

I抦 lying in state

I抳e ben lying to myself and it can抰 go on


At first I tried to blame the world for all evils

That were unfurled, flags of sin blowing in the

Wind over church and state, the rich and the

Great, but when I listened all I really heard was

My own voice and my own words, sometimes

Begging for love, sometime screaming with

Hate, screaming with hate


I don抰 trust that voice in my head, it抯 not mine it抯 the voice of the dead

And why do you ask me what I think is true?

I learned it all from you!

I抳e been lying to myself, lying to myself for so long

I抳e been lying to myself, lying to myself and it can抰 go on

Cause I抦 lying in state, I抳e been lying in a state of grace

I抦 lying in state

I抳e lying to myself and can抰 go on


In the end, you are my only friend and all I see is you,

And all I have to give, my friend, I will give it to you.

Who do I mean? Who am I talking to?

How could it be more plain to you? Wake up.

Look in your heart. Who are you? What is your name?


If I take a shit in your perfect world it抯 only so

You抣l know me by my smell

And though you turn away like you don抰 understand

You know all too well

You don抰 want to look, you don抰 want to touch

You don抰 want tp pay cause it costs so much

You just smile and wish me well

Well, you can go to hell!

Cause I抦 lying in state, I抳e been lying in a state of grace

I抦 lying in state

I抳e lying to myself and can抰 go on
