DNA

What I say about dreams
That my father believe
Aberrations can steal your child away
And the summer won't end
Young enough to forget
Did the big boys beat it out from you?

And you're reaching for your brother's arms
Your two-toned flash of the alarm
And I choke, it's too close
And I'm standing on that higher stair
I think I'll run away from here
Yes, I'll go
It's too close

'Cause I'm gonna show you that history can change
The bad times in my youth
The cut on my DNA
Yes, I'm gonna pull through
My story is not made
The past is a false truth
I'll break with my DNA

Well, it's time the truth starts
Medicating your shock
Did it always seem so bad for you?
And our personal crime
We both know that you'll find
Blood smudged thicker than you ever knew

And you're reaching for your brother's arms
Your two-toned flash of the alarm
And I choke, it's too close

'Cause I'm gonna show you that history can change
The bad times in my youth
The cut on my DNA
Yes, I'm gonna pull through
My story is not made
The past is a false truth
I'll break with my DNA

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah

And the moment altered everything
It changed your life
Sweeping over me in the bitter morning light
And the moment altered everything
It changed your life
Sweeping over me in the bitter morning light

'Cause I'm gonna show you that history can change
The bad times in my youth
The cut on my DNA
Yes, I'm gonna pull through
My story is not made
The past is a false truth
I'll break with my DNA

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
