…there ever were in her body.
There's no way of knowing exactly how many of Henrietta's cells are alive today. One scientist estimates…
…to an alternative school that offered dream studies instead of biology, so I was taking Defler's class for high-school credit, which meant…
…cells alive in culture for decades, but they all eventually died. Henrietta's were different…

…could have never prepared for…She was extra-terrestrial, there was no question. I'm not sure I knew, until that point, that someone…
…they would see it…whatever it was they were both looking for…but not finding.
04. Sometimes You Can Forget Who You…
…world come crashing down that day…Like the meteor shower that was meant for our high school. E.T.'s father had killed himself. Right…

…do they
And they don't like snowflakes, either
Give them a snowstorm, darling
You asked your mother what those words meant to her…
…friends
You tried to be the boy she wished that you were
You cut your hair for her, you burnt that dress for her
You painted every…
…to blame someone else for their own self hatred
You were conditioned to hate yourself
Based on the opinion of everyone else…

I told this girl about God while I was drunk in her living room.
We were talking about love. She said, “Yeah… I see…
…be fine.
I didn't try to search for words or answers to questions that aren't there to find…
I just sat with her inside…
…didn't tell her it'd be fine,
I didn't search for words to remedy the pains she kept inside,
I just sat with her, decided…

…does seem to be especially good at certain things. For example, we are all going to die. Poetry can help us live with that. Poems are made of words…
…these scandalous writers called Language poets who didn't make any sense, and I wanted to go and see for myself what they were…
…else from long ago, someone quite memorable.
This living hand, now warm and capable
Of earnest grasping, would, if it were cold…
…tend to her
Give her the tender loving care that was meant for her
You see... I was meant for hair
You should dread me, I'm about…
…else, and fucked up and accidentally printed a picture of a cumquat
But if you really think about it, that's some food for…
…in my tank, we'll see how far my car get
My house, that's where your mom goes
She likes it rough, smack her like bongos
Watch out for…

I'd take, I felt so alone
Then I met a girl that I'd put on a throne
And I know I have to thank her for teaching me love
She became…
…had a chance
Especially when ya said ya loved someone else
I cared so much, but somehow you fell
For some other dude, you weren't…
…sleep I'm awake in bed
There's a fucking puzzle inside of my head
All I can see is a bunch of words
For the last few years it's…

…ever let you down mama
In exchange for my existence, I promise to give you everything
You never gave in, even though you were…
…this pain to be over soon
A voice shook the room, told her to be strong
She didn't want to deny the words she heard
Didn't…
…mama
That can asses if you're meant for this
There's no other explanation mama, it has to be this
It can't be nothing else…
Loving her in vain
If she only knew the way he felt
Knew that she was his whole entire world
As she keeps loving someone else…
…is so painful as to love in vain
The way he feels for her a love he will never know again
His mind tells him, “Love is not for me, not for…
…a love that will never go away
When your heart tells you that “This love is for me”
Meant to be…
I hope to find someone and give my…
…to giving up
Tripping up, I'm with you but I'm kissing her
It's hard when your role models told you to live it up
Before it's too…
…there and back
Writing paragraphs hoping they come together
To something before mom and dad's questions come up for discussion
Ah…
…at distractions
Reduced to being on top of each other, simplify the fraction
Been told the weight of my words too dense for the masses
Keep…

Cause I was like, I'm here, and if this is it
There's gotta be more for me
Cause if this is it, like, it's not gonna work
Hey Delaine…
So here we go
When you were just a baby
Your mama put you up in a foster home
She couldn't care for you all on her own
So she need…
…were given a second chance
But you took it for grant
Which is something i regret
But you know can't go back
You lied to your friends…

Finally, some part of me pulled myself together long enough to hear him say the words that I was now his wife. I…
…from me. I would do everything I possibly could to survive. Even if that meant out living them, even if that meant surviving for…
…else, I'm grateful for what has happened to me, because of what it's taught me, because of the perspective it's given me…

…that
Danger and thrill
To top that
The sin from my lips
To make her drop down
And then pop that
Just don't stop that
When you bust it open
A shy girl
That's so used to hoping
For…
…a savior
From her routine life
To maximum exposure
Someone to hold her
Console her
When times are rough
But know her…
…really just meant to be a star
[HOOK]x2
[BRIDGE: Vo-Kal]
She wants someone that sings well
Well I can sing better with some shots…

…a wussy and call him a cow
Anger Managment, not late for that
Stack the cement, I remember one time I meant to repent
I don't repent, I never…
…loved me yo, told her that I was gonna go
I thought our love as magical, I guess I was wrong
Tried to kill me for a song, I guess…
I would drug her with a bong
Shit sometimes understandable, she was not with me for long
I geel like I was gonna rip like King…

…gonna think of you
Don't know what else to do
You got me, you got me, baby
Everything I make, I only make for you
Baby, be patient for…
…me
And please don't fall in love with someone new
I promise one day I'll come back for you
[Verse 2]
Oh, you say you hate…
I'm doing this for you
Baby, can't you see if there is such a thing
Of loving someone so much that you need to give them time…
