Malevolence
And providence
Are opalescent
In the telomere

The forest floor
And the petrichor
The long and short
Of the telomere
Of the telomere

In your blood
The one thing they can't take away
The one thing they can't take away from me
Away from you or replace

Where the cells reside (it's in our blood)
Splinter and divide (it's in our blood)
They will never die
In the telomere

In the telomere that lives inside us
And the people walking down below
Crawling home alone like spiders

In your blood
The one thing they can't take away
The one thing they can't take away from you
Away but don't be afraid

Is living in our blood
The one thing they can't take away
The one thing they'll never take away from you
Away, so don't be afraid

Our telomere (is in our blood)
Our telomere (is in our blood)
Our telomere
