Lyrics:
Verse 1
In the upper layers where the daylight thins,
A quiet gate wakes under skin-warm winds.
From the bloodstream’s tide, a signal drifts in tune,
A single lipid note beneath the moon.
Pre-Chorus
Bring it in, bring it close, let the membrane sing,
Turn raw supply into a sheltering thing.
When the barrier trembles, when the surface fights,
We learn what keeps the body’s edges bright.
Chorus
Carry the linoleate light, let it land in the cells,
Build the wall where the waterline swells.
When the flakes don’t fall and the red alarm shows,
Open the door—let the right fuel flow.
Carry the linoleate light, make the new layer rise,
From the plasma to the pattern of the sky.
Verse 2
When that doorway dims, the rhythm turns tense,
Thickened pages of skin lose their sense.
Lamellar waves and droplets miss their part,
And the surface writes a rougher kind of art.
Bridge
So pass the LPC, let it cross the line,
Feed the phospholipids, stack the time.
Tag and tri—store strength for the days,
Differentiate, don’t fade into haze.
Final Chorus
Carry the linoleate light, let it land in the cells,
Build the wall where the waterline swells.
From a measured spark to a steadier glow,
We mend the edge with what the blood can show.
Carry the linoleate light, make the new layer rise,
And the skin remembers how to harmonize.
