lyrics

If you don't know yourself
There is just no way to tell when you are in danger

I still need a friend
Who will fight and will defend and will guide me through the strangers

If I could only start again
Maybe lose a little less in the translation

Is it such a crime
That I am still not ready
To let the poetry die?

If there's still time
And if I hold it steady
Will the poetry survive?

If you don't know yourself
There is just no way to tell when you are in danger

I still need a friend
Who will fight and will defend and will guide me through the strangers

If I could only start again
Maybe lose a little less in the translation

Is it such a crime
That I am still not ready
To let the poetry die?

If there's still time
And if I hold it steady
Will the poetry survive?

If there's still time
And if I hold it steady
Will the poetry thrive?

If you don't know yourself
There is just no way to tell
When you are in danger...

about

The State of the Art image

The State of the Art London, UK

The State of the Art has been my solo project since c.2008. Initially an acoustic project, I now employ whatever instruments I have to hand (Guitar, Piano, Synth, Drum Machine) that best illustrate what I am trying to convey.
