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
