Graceless Lyrics


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
Don't have the sunny side to face this
I am invisible and weightless
You can't imagine how I hate this
Graceless

I'm trying, but I've gone
Through the glass again
Just come and find me
God loves everybody, don't remind me
I took the medicine when I went missing
Just let me hear your voice, just let me listen

Graceless
I figured out how to be faithless
But it will be a sheme to waste this
You can't imagine how I hate this
Graceless

I'm trying, but I've gone
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

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 wild ones, they're my favorites
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 will brighten the place
Don't let them die on the vine, it's a waste
Grace

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

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 wild ones, they're my favorites
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 will brighten the base
Don't let them die on the vine, it's a waste
Grace

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

Graceless
  • Matt Berniger ruminates on mortality on this drum-heavy song. "God loves everybody, don't remind me," he sings. Berninger's relationship to the afterlife is often fragile. On another Trouble Will Find Me track, "Don't Swallow the Cap" he sings about his fear of leaving his loved ones behind.
  • The National premiered the song during an April 5, 2013 concert at the Michelberger Hotel in Berlin.
  • The song's black and white music video finds The National getting drunk and getting up to all sorts of mischief, which includes riding bikes into a pool and shooting off a potato gun. The clip was shot at frontman Matt Berninger's parent's house in Cincinnati, Ohio and found the band suffering a series of mishaps. Bassist Scott Devendorf ended up with a minor concussion, guitarist Bryce Dessner injured his back, and Berninger suffered a face injury whilst riding his bike into a swimming pool and hitting the water hard with his face all three times. "I had glasses on," he explained to Rolling Stone "I had bruises around my eyes where the glasses hit. It was the most brutal video we've ever done. It was really fun, but it cost us. No one died, though."
  • The National made their Saturday Night Live debut on March 8, 2014 when they performed this song and "I Need My Girl" during the show. They'd previously played "Graceless" on The Colbert Report and Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
