Genetic Makeup Lyrics by Emily Kinney

The Supporting Character

2021

[Verse 1]
My mother memorizes
The dates of those who have died
She visualizes the numbers
Buries ‘em deep inside
Somewhere close to her heart
And when it’s been a few years
She digs up all the memories
Waters ‘em with her tears
[Chorus]
I think I got the same genetics
It’s why I can’t sleep at night
It’s why I’m sensitive to sunburns
And I forgive but can’t forget a fight
Empathetic to my detriment
I’m so aware of every space I take up
I'll fall in love and it’s forever
It’s just my genetic makeup
[Verse 2]
My sister called me crying
A low blow left her reeling
And I imagine her in her bed
Screaming at the ceiling
She said she’s packed to go
But I know she’ll never leave
‘Cause when it comes to giving her whole heart
My sister is just like me
[Chorus]
Yeah, we got the same genetics
It’s why I can’t sleep at night
It’s why I’m sensitive to sunburns
And I forgive but can’t forget a fight
Empathetic to my detriment
I’m so aware of every space I take up
I'll fall in love and it’s forever
It’s just my genetic makeup
[Bridge]
Oh, oh I’m just along for the ride
Oh, oh I’m just along for the ride
Oh, oh I’m just along for the ride
Of the rhythm and for who my heart beats inside
Oh, oh I’m just along for the ride
[Chorus]
I think I got the same genetics
It’s why I can’t sleep at night
It’s why I’m sensitive to sunburns
And I forgive but can’t forget a fight
Empathetic to my detriment
I’m so aware of every space I take up
I'll fall in love and it’s forever
It’s just my genetic makeup
