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? be true!
|
I?e been lying to myself, lying to myself for so long
|
I?e been lying to myself, lying to myself
|
And it can? go on
|
Cause I? lying in state, I?e been lying in a state of grace
|
I? lying in state
|
I?e ben lying to myself and it can? 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? trust that voice in my head, it? not mine it? the voice of the dead
|
And why do you ask me what I think is true?
|
I learned it all from you!
|
I?e been lying to myself, lying to myself for so long
|
I?e been lying to myself, lying to myself and it can? go on
|
Cause I? lying in state, I?e been lying in a state of grace
|
I? lying in state
|
I?e lying to myself and can? 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? only so
|
You?l know me by my smell
|
And though you turn away like you don? understand
|
You know all too well
|
You don? want to look, you don? want to touch
|
You don? want tp pay cause it costs so much
|
You just smile and wish me well
|
Well, you can go to hell!
|
Cause I? lying in state, I?e been lying in a state of grace
|
I? lying in state
|
I?e lying to myself and can? go on
|
