A State Of Grace

Taken to skid row

Apocalyptic downtown

Wandered from

Foley's pub to this

Somebody gather me

I need a rescue mission

Push me out of harm's way and into help

I'm just searching for a state of grace

A king of nothing

I've been whittled away

Like a thief in the night

Rum crushes and steals you, no warning

I'm still searching for a state of grace

A state of grace

Cop cars and whistles

Those bold testimonials

Look at me screaming at the moon

Got hospitals and preachers saying

Son we can't reach you

I guess I don't know how to ask for help

I'm just searching for a state of grace

A king of nothing

I've been whittled away

Like a thief in the night

Rum crushes and steals you, no warning

I'm still searching for a state of grace

A state of grace

What have

I come toWhere am

I goingThese nights are wasted

And my days

I'm throwing

Jesus I'm falling

Do you hear me calling

I need a time out

From my own personal hell

A reprieve, a new chance, some immunity

Goodwill, maybe mercy

Could you give it to me

I'm still searching for a state of grace

I'm so tired of running this race

I'm still searching for a state of grace

I'm so tired of running this race

I'm still searching for a state of grace

I'm so tired of running this race
