Lyrics:

It was always going to be like this
Whatever you bring yourself to say
Why don't you point that thing the other way
And telescope this tangled story?
You've got the whole thing at your fingertips
Already scripted in an alien Braille
Snagged up under your fingernails
Oh, so blissful, in ignorance we pin the tail
With smudgy marks we scratch the surface
We are what we were born to be
We are what we become over time
Under our own thumbs
We are written in our fingerprints
In everything we do and see
We are written in our fingerprints
So very singular the marks of our destiny
So open the hands
This is a lifespan
I found the future in my grasp
The line of least resistance, naturally
Joined up the dots and never thought to ask
Could I somehow do this differently?
In the heat of the moment it's impressed on me
What's done is done in understanding
And if I had a choice to make
I ignored it as such
So our lifelines accumulate
Like the dust on the things we've touched
We are written in our fingerprints
All of our virtues, all our vice
We are written in our fingerprints
Once upon a time the story
We won't go through these motions twice
We are written in our fingerprints
We are written in our fingerprints
We don't get to do this thing twice
So let's play out the hand
Unconsciously pre-planned
