The National

[See lyrics with annotations HERE]

[Verse 1]
Graceless
Is there a powder to erase this?
Is it dissolvable and tasteless?
You can't imagine how I hate this
Graceless

I'm trying, but I'm graceless
I don't have the sunny side to face this
I am invisible and weightless
You can't imagine how I hate this
Graceless

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm trying, but I'm gone, and through the glass again
Just come and find me
God loves everybody, don't remind me
I took the medicine, and I went missing
Just let me hear your voice
Just let me listen
Graceless

[Verse 2]
I figured out how to be faithless
But it would be a shame to waste this
You can't imagine how I hate this
Graceless

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm trying, but I'm gone and through the glass again
Just come and find me
God loves everybody, don't remind me
I took the medicine, and I went missing
Just let me hear your voice
Just let me listen

[Chorus]
All of my thoughts of you
Bullets through rotten fruit
Come apart at the seams
Now I know what dying means

I am not my rosy self
Left my roses on my shelf
Take the white ones, they're my favorite
It's the side effects that save us
Grace

Put the flowers you find in a vase
If you're dead in the mind it'll brighten the place
Don't let them die on the vine, it's a waste
Grace

[Bridge]
There's a science to walking through windows
There's a science to walking through windows
There's a science to walking through windows
There's a science to walking through windows without you

[Chorus]
All of my thoughts of you
Bullets through rotten fruit
Come apart at the seams
Now I know what dying means

I am not my rosy self
Left my roses on my shelf
Take the white ones, they're my favorite
It's the side effects that save us
Grace

Put the flowers you find in a vase
If you're dead in the mind it'll brighten the place
Don't let them die on the vine, it's a waste
Grace
