Pre-ChorusNot just names on a glowing screen,But gears that turn, then slip, then stall.If we trace what used to be,We can hear where the failures call. ChorusWe’re chasing the blueprint before the dawn,Thread by thread till the mystery’s gone.When one small link breaks, whole worlds go wrong,So we follow the network, and we carry on. Verse 2Vesicles drifting like notes in time,Pumps that lift the acid tide.Cilia beating in perfect rhyme,Till a single change makes the compass slide. BridgeIf a signal can’t find its rightful place,If a motor falters on the track,We don’t just treat the damage we face—We find the first knot, and we pull it back. Final ChorusWe’re chasing the blueprint before the dawn,Finding old truth in a new-day song.From ancient teams that kept life drawn,To tomorrow’s answers—clear and strong.
