DNA

(It's in me… I know it…)

(But I can't reach it…)

How many times can I reset the frame

Rebuild the same thing, call it a change

Every version ends the same

Different face, same mistake

How many times do I lose control

Call it growth just to fill the hole

Is it something I can break

Or something I'm made to repeat

I feel it under everything

Like it's written in me

If I knew what I'm made of

Would I finally feel enough

Or just see it all too clear

There's no fixing what is here

If it's all inside my blood

Every high, every cut

Then there's nowhere I can run

I become what I become

It's in my DNA

I can't wash it away

Every part of me stays

Even when I try to change

You say I'm more than what I see

But your version's out of reach

Like a light I can't hold on

Like a truth that feels too strong

If I saw me through your eyes

Would it fix me or just lie

Would I finally feel okay

Or just learn a different way to break

You see something I don't

I just see what I won't

If I knew what I'm made of

Would I finally feel enough

Or just see it all too clear

There's no fixing what is here

If it's all inside my blood

Every high, every cut

Then there's nowhere I can run

I become what I become

It's in my DNA

I can't wash it away

Every part of me stays

Even when I try to change

In— my veins

In— my name

Every pattern stays the same

Break— the code

Lose control

Still I end up where I go

Maybe I was never meant to heal

Just repeat the way I feel

Every version, every try

Leads me back to what I hide

If there's something underneath

I've been too scared to see

I don't know if I want proof

Or just something else to lose

If I knew what I'm made of

Would I tear it all apart

Every piece I tried to love

Never made it out the dark

If it's all inside my blood

Every scar, every cut

Then there's nowhere I can run

I become what I become

It's in my DNA

I can't wash it away

Every part of me stays

Even when I try to change

(It's in me…)

(I can't escape…)

(It stays…)
