Lyrics:
Verse 1
In the quiet glare of midnight screens,
We chase small sparks in hidden genes,
A borrowed map, a borrowed clue,
To find the power that got lost in you.
Pre-Chorus
Filter the echoes, cut the noise,
Name the signal, lift the voice,
Match the story to the strand,
Hold the answer in our hands.
Chorus
Run it back, run it right, let the patterns show,
From the blood to the fire, watch the numbers glow,
If the score breaks through, we’re closer than we knew,
Eleven percent of tomorrow pulling through.
Verse 2
A thousand lives in data lines,
Some truths wait out the first designs,
Not every sign is loud or clear,
But phenotype can pull it near.
Bridge
Not perfect—just a brighter start,
A threshold drawn, a beating heart,
Then expert eyes, confirm, refine,
Turn maybes into solid signs.
Final Chorus
Run it back, run it right, let the patterns show,
Trim the false reflections, let the real ones grow,
When the score rings true, the path comes into view,
Eleven percent of tomorrow pulling through.
