DNA

(album: Embrace - 2014)

Maybe I couldn't give you everything that you want
Maybe I should have put your feelings first for once
Cause I will want what I can't get till I'm dead in the ground
And the light that you hold goes out

If I send a letter would you read it alone
Am I still a contender or have you moved on
Because I've been trapped in my glass house so long on my own
I'm so glad that you threw your stone
You wrote upon it you're the one, it said upon it you're the one

And the tears you can taste are not just dna
I watched our luck decay and like a bird I preyed
Cause I'm a virus and your the placebo not the cure no no
That strain you cant erase, it's in my dna

Maybe I'm outnumberd, well I wont be outgunned
I'll rise from the ashes I wont sink in the mud
Cause we're not just ones and zeros, we're so much more
And you've got to find out or the credits role

And the tears you can taste are not just dna
I watched our luck decay and like a bird I preyed
I'm a virus and your the placebo not the cure
It's poison never works, and only makes me worse

And the tears you can taste are not just dna
They showed that we're the same and I washed them all away
Cause I'm a virus and you're out looking for the cure no no
That strain you cant erase, it's in my dna
