The Absence of God Lyrics

Cover art for The Absence of God lyrics by Rilo Kiley

coming from a recovering drug addicts perspective, she says, "I am not my body, or how I choose to destroy it," I think she's basically saying that only you are truly responsible for what you do. Nobody can make excuses and blame anyone else, because in the end all you have is you. You can think your way out of anything, and this song chronicles the thought processes of someone who realizes this.
