Telomere

Malevolence
And providence
Are opalescent
In the telomere

The forest floor
And the petrichor
The long and short
Of the telomere
Of the telomere
In your blood

The one thing they can't take away
The one thing they can't take away from me
Away from you or replace

Where the cells reside
Splinter and divide
They will never die
In the telomere

In the telomore that lives inside us
And the people walking down below
Crawling home alone like spiders
As the cancer slowly starts to grow
In your blood

The one thing they can't take away
The one thing they can't take away from you
Away but don't be afraid

Is living in our blood
The one thing they can't take away
The one thing they'll never take away from you
Away, so don't be afraid

Our telomere (is in our blood)
Our telomere (is in our blood)
Our telomere
