There's a faint vibration in my bones
The burden of this legacy
Encumbers me
Listen to the chorus of my skin
The discord tries to break the ties
That keep me in

I'm nothing without you
'Cause all the things I wanna do
They're all still about you
It's down to me
The music of my blood is out of key

As I grow the melody remains
It spreads throughout the DNA
Your ego claims
Still I'm me
My tonic and my C
I shape my genes to fit my own identity

I'm nothing without you
'Cause all the things I wanna do
They're all still about you
It's down to me
The music of my blood is out of key
