In this song, Berninger talks about medicine and drugs (namely anti-depressants), and the effects that these can have on us.
The National first played the song during a concert at the Michelberger Hotel in Berlin on April 5, 2013.
[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, 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
[Verse 2]
Graceless
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, 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
[Refrain]
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
[Refrain]
Grace
Put the flowers you find in a vase
If you're dead in the mind, it'll brighten the place
Don't let 'em 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'll brighten the place
Don't let them die on the vine, it's a waste
