"Genetics" lyrics

I hope the weight I carry
Never meets your skin
Like the rain that falls
But never soaks in
I hope you never taste
The poison on my tongue
Or carry burdens
I've yet to outrun

I hope you never
Have to fight with your mind
Or feel the storm
That I feel inside

Bypass genetics that fell onto me
Just get my smile and leave my tragedies
Get my eyes, not my life
Get everything you need
I hope you overcome what cursed me

I hope the thought of leaving
Never crosses your mind
Or consumes your every thought
Like it did mine
I hope you never have to
Fight with your mind
Or face the things
That I left behind

Bypass genetics that fell onto me
Just get my smile and leave my tragedies
Get my eyes, not my life
Get everything you need
I hope you overcome what cursed me

Keep your light
And the way that you dance
Round your room
When it's way past your bedtime
I hope you

Bypass genetics that fell onto me
Just get my smile but leave my tragedies
Get my drive, not my life
Get everything you need and more
I hope that you become what I'd die for
