Lyrics:Verse 1In the hair-thin forest where the silence growsTiny gates swing open with the push and pullBut the calcium river don’t arrive like it used toSo the clean-up crew can’t do its job in full Pre-ChorusLess spark in the bundle, less signal to sendVesicles waiting where the bright tips bendIf the tide don’t rise, the pump don’t landHold on—hold on—give it a chance again ChorusBring the pump back, bring the light back inKeep that calcium moving, let the balance winDon’t let the power fade in the midnight spinWe’re riding that rhythm on a thin, thin pin Verse 2Early days are fragile, turnover running fastPumps on the surface, then they’re gone too soonBlock the traffic, starve the fuse, and it slips awayAnd the cell starts hearing its own last tune BridgeNeuroplastin comes late like a hand on the railTwo days behind but it steadies the sailIf the anchor don’t catch, the engines strainMitochondria crying in the dark again Final ChorusBring the pump back, bring the light back inKeep that calcium moving, let the balance winThere’s a window wide open—don’t wait too longWe’re dub in the lab till the break of dawn
