Carbon-based Anatomy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Homo sapiens
And your carbon-based anatomy
The child you're looking for
Is starved and lost, a memory
Drop the knife
Leave your arms behind
Just for a moment
Calm the mind
The longing never ends
Not while you're human
What if you could hold
Your mother's heart
Inside your hands
Would you seek blood again
Would you find the karmic thread
Drop the knife
Leave your arms behind
Just for a moment
Calm the mind
The longing never ends
Not while you're human
Stop the clock
Drop the storyline
Just for a moment
Stop the clock t
He longing never ends
Not while you're human
