lyrics

Since you could remember
You've been downing pills
To keep the crushing pain at bay
Just one chance in millions
A gene editing mistake
That's what they told you, anyway

You see, you were never
A Coordinated child
The flaw in your DNA
Was no flaw at all

Now you know you were made this way
Your short telomeres were no mistake

Nobody ever told you
You had to see it for yourself
You weren't the result of a normal lab

Seeing yourself over and over
Silent, floating in tubes
Forced to grow to a life unknown
The true face of your roots

Your body's breaking down
Before you've grown fully
Your sanity is straining
Learning you're a copy

Your psyche fractures

You're the product
Of adult's cells
Placed in an embryo
You are a clone

You are a clone

Now you know you were made this way
Your short telomeres were no mistake
