State Of Grace Lyrics

Artist: NoMeansNo
Album: The Worldhood of the World (As Such)

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
