lyrics

Blood ties us back to our fates
Hard-wired in the DNA
Red marks that you can't erase

Surely we've escaped?
We've run so far now
And all those that followed are scattered to the winds
Tabula Rasa
We'll start again
To live on our own terms
Keep ourselves in grace
'Til we meet our end
No suffering and no regrets
We'll get away with it

And we'll be fine...

Blood ties us back to our fates
And forces our return
Hard-wired in the DNA
Of those we once
Forgot we loved
Red marks that you can't erase
Blood ties us back to our fates
And forces our return
We can never escape
The chains inside that hold us
And we can never escape
What betrays us in our veins

Don't talk to me
About heredity
And what we pass on to those that come after
The thought is so
Unavoidable
That we're beholden to that which is inside us

Tell me there is some way out
From what's coursing through my arteries
We may struggle against this code
But there are some things that we cannot change

But blood ties us back to our fates
And forces our return
Hard-wired in the DNA
Of those we once
Were told we loved
Blood ties us...
