State Of Grace

STATE OF GRACE © KURT MAHONEY

You stand there smiling with your plastic happy face
Pretending everything is fine
But safe within your dark cocoon of cyberspace
You say what’s really on your mind

State of grace-you’re someone I don’t recognize
Fade away-there’s nothing for you here

I stand beside you when you feel you need a friend
And your fragile world comes crashing down
But when the table’s turned have you a helping hand to lend?
No, you ain’t no where to be found

State of grace
There’s nothing left to analyze
Fade away
It’s not a healthy atmosphere
State of grace
You’re someone I don’t recognize
Fade away
There’s nothing for you here

You seem to feel you’re being crucified
If I don’t praise every word and deed
I hadn’t noticed you’d been sanctified
Must I get down on bended knee?

You play the game-you place the blame-you make the rules
To suit your ever changing plans
The only thing you’ve ever cared about is you
And when the money changes hands


State of grace
I’m tired of your reality
Fade away
You’re not what you appear
State of grace
You’re just another song to me
Fade away
There’s nothing for you hear

You’ve never made an honest sacrifice
Yet everybody’s wrong
And you are right
You wanna win the war you’ve got to pay the price
I won’t go down without a fight

State of grace
I’m tired of your reality
Fade away
You’re not what you appear
State of grace
You’re just another song to me
Fade away
There’s nothing for you here
