Lyrics:
Verse 1
Late-night lights on a quiet floor
A tiny whisper in the bloodstream’s roar
No scalpel map, just a coded trace
Turning shadows into a target’s face

Pre-Chorus
Run it fast, keep the hands off the wheel
Built-in checks for what’s fake and what’s real
If the signal’s thin, we read between
And call for tissue when we need to see

Chorus
Read my blood, let the answers glow
Find the switch, find the way to go
Action in the noise, resistance in the frame
Same fight, new route, calling out the name
Read my blood—don’t guess, just know

Verse 2
Some rooms shout, some lesions hide
Some routes light up, some slip inside
After the therapy, new sparks appear
Plasma-only stories, suddenly clear

Bridge
But there’s a trick in the older code
Look-alike changes the body holds
So we filter the echoes, we steady the view
Truth from the drift, and the drift from you

Final Chorus
Read my blood, let the answers glow
Find the switch, find the way to go
Faster returns, more chances to aim
Catch it in time, rewrite the game
Read my blood—don’t guess, just know
