Absence

"The absence of God will bring you comfort, baby
And planning's for the poor so let's pretend that we're rich
And I'm not my body or how I choose to destroy it

Folk singers sing songs for the working, baby
We're just recreation for all those doctors and lawyers
There's no relief for the bleeding heart
'Cause they'll be losing bodies tonight

And Rob says you love, love, love and then you die
I've watched him while sleeping and seen him crying with closed eyes
And you're not happy but you're funny and I'm tripping over my joy
But I just keep on getting up again

We could be daytime drunks if we wanted
We'd never get anything done that way baby
And we'd still be ruled by our dueling perspectives
But I'm not my perspective
Or the lies I'll tell you every time

And Morgan says, maybe love won't let you down
All of your failures are training grounds
And just as your back's turned you'll be surprised she says
As your solitude subsides

And Mike I'll teach you how to swim
If you turn the bad in me into good again

And I say there's trouble
When everything is fine
The need to destroy things
Creeps up on me every time
Just as love's silhouette appears
I close my eyes and disappear tonight

And something's got to change
'Cause our love's the slowest moving train."

The Absence of God, Rilo Kiley

Ella sabe que el tiempo corre, se nos escapa, que las vidas se traman y se tejen distintas cuando no están en el mismo telar o cosidas con el mismo hilo. Ella sabe que la distancia mata y que la ausencia olvida, que las noches solitarias son lobos con hambre desidiosa y ocio peligroso.

Ella sabe que extrañar es romperle las piernas al amor para que no pueda andar más por si mismo.
