DNA

I've been shedding my skin
To expose a different version of myself within
Abhorrent of my own actions
Alleviate the feeling, everlasting

Absorb, consume
Devour my every thought
The ebb and flow
Of subliminal manipulation

Contained by flesh
No one will ever know
Skin to skin
Soul to soul we still all die alone (I still loathe you)

Where there's dread
There's decay
My mind, it bends and breaks
Wastes away

You buried your burdens
In my DNA

I'm drowning in the mess you made

DNA
DNA

I couldn't stay and take the blame
Let my mind waste away

Traded your soul
For an empty home
Let me know what it's like to die alone

Contained by flesh
No one will ever know
Skin to skin
Soul to soul, we still all die (alone)

I am a product of my fathers
Cynical DNA
My mother's bright eyes wither
They dissipate
With every day

Where there's dread
There's decay
My mind, it bends and breaks
Wastes away

You buried your burdens
In my DNA

I'm drowning in the mess you made

Father, in your eyes, am I an image of failure?
Perennial shame
Do I disgrace your name?

I'm drowning in the mess you made

DNA
DNA

Am I
A disgrace
To your
Fucking name?

Am I
A disgrace
To your
Fucking DNA?
