Stateless Lyrics

I got no home in this world
Just gravity, luck and time
I've got no home in this world
Just you and you are not mine

Stateless
Fateless
Stateless
(Shut you cold)

There are no colors in your eye
There's no sunshine in your sky
There's no race, only the prize
There is no tomorrow, only tonight

Oh, Stateless
Oh, what's the difference?
You can cover the world with your thought
Still so big, so bright, so beautiful

Weightless
Stateless

Push down on me
Push, down on me
Awake now
A weight, get down on me
Your weight, down

Be your weight, go down on me
Be the heavy hand, the mortal sand
Be the weight, heart, go down on me

Stateless
Weightless
Hateless

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
