O'Brother – Absence Lyrics

Alternative

There's a wickedness that's in my blood
The precognition of what a terrible mess I'll become
To my dismay I found that a tired tongue won't resonate
Beyond the heresy that I impose

But I couldn't kill a radiant thing

Tear out my eyes
Render me blind
Deliverance lies in the absence of my mind

Take a breath, try and pretend you didn't hear a thing

By design I am fated to rely on what I know
To define the endless line of what I don't
And does the application of your moral code alleviate
The overwhelming fear of imminent death?

How could you take a radiant thing?
If you wanna take a radiant thing

Then come and get it
