lyrics

Start to divide
Welcome the genomathon
Double strand your RNA to avoid oblivion

How do you feel about decline?
Are you able to live on your own?
Imagine a world where your hopes are and dreams are unrealised

I watched her grow
I watched her grow into a woman
And then when she was grown
I watched her walk away

Try to cut a hole in all of this
But I turn the weapon on myself
Everybody sees when we divide
Everybody sees when we divide
Everybody sees when we divide
Everybody sees when we divide

Start to align
Chromosome dreams of a lineage
Bypass your guilt and malaise and embrace replication

I watched her grow
I watched her grow into a woman
And then when she was grown
I watched her walk away
