I am my flesh
I am the first beat
I am my blood
I am the first touch
I am my bones
I am the first sacrifice
I am my flesh

I am not yours
From the first cell
To the billionth
Ahead of politics
I am the first grasp
That you've forgotten
And denied
I am not yours
From the first beat
To the second
The 5+5+5+5
I am the dream of the barren
That you'll never know
Of the sterilized
That Sanger spat upon
I am not yours
From the first
To the 206th
On the altar of Molech
I am the first lost child
In the ovens of Dachau
I am the strangest fruit
I am not yours
From the first cell
To the billionth
