Blue Genes

lyrics

Somewhere from my heart
Flows a life turning to blue
A sadness and resentment
Resides inside of me
If I could do things your way
There’s no doubt that I would
I’d try to do things your way
If it did me any good

Somewhere from my heart
Flows a life turning to blue
The generation patchwork
Had been worn right through
I fell into the gene pool
And I sank to the floor
I’d poisoned it all
I was upside down and back to front
Head over heels, stuck in the mud

(these blue genes I have
I plead to have not)

It’s painstaking to think it
That this is me and that’s who I’ll be
These blue genes will continue
To exist as part of me
It’s some small consolation
To know that life is short
It’s transient and fleeting
It’s hard to find the point

I don’t want your eggs
I don’t want mine
‘Cause these blue
Genes just might show up down the line
