Absence - Lyrics - O'brother

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 I couldn't kill a radiant thing I couldn't kill a radiant thing, i know I couldn't kill a radiant thing Tear out my eyes Render me blind, blind, blind Deliverance lies In the absence of my 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? How could you take a radiant thing? How could you take a radiant thing? If you wanna take a radiant thing Then come and get it. Tear out my eyes Render me blind, blind, blind Deliverance lies In the absence of my my mind. Tear out my eyes Render me blind, blind, blind Deliverance lies In the absence of my my my mind.
