Lyrics:
Verse 1
In a bright-room spin of the centrifuge light,
We chase a whisper in the bloodstream’s night.
Some tubes hold steady, some let it all fade,
A fragile signal in a chemical shade.

Pre-Chorus
I hear the scissors waking up at thirty-seven,
Time takes a bite, turns clean to uneven.
Choose the wrong vial, watch the story unwind,
Choose the right one, keep the truth aligned.

Chorus
Chelate the noise, let the message stay,
Lock down the cutters, don’t give it away.
Hold that spark in the plasma line,
EDTA—keep the data mine.

Verse 2
Citrate can slow it, not all the way,
A halfway promise that might still pay.
But heparin’s trouble—things break, cells spill,
And enzymes feast like they’ve got free will.

Bridge
Serum looks loud, but it’s not all real,
Clotting confetti in the lab’s reveal.
Twenty-four hours and the track goes thin,
So guard the fragment where it begins.

Final Chorus
Chelate the noise, let the message stay,
Lock down the cutters, don’t give it away.
If you want the signal you can trust in time,
EDTA—keep the data mine.
