(Verse 1)

In the silent corridors of mind and memory

There lies a hidden network we've only begun to see

Neurons reach across a gap that once seemed sealed

Finger-thin bridges shifting burdens unrevealed

(Pre-Chorus)

Waste and warning riding conduits unseen

What was meant to cleanse now carries what has been

(Chorus)

Tiny tubes, winding through the grey

Tiny tubes, carrying what we cannot say

From cell to cell they flow, a secret in the night

Tiny tubes, glowing faint in the fading light

(Verse 2)

In the pattern of the brain where signals weave and wind

These channels form connections that leave no path behind

A neuron's plea to purge what's toxic in the brain

Yet in the act of purging, spread the silent stain

(Pre-Chorus)

Circuits meant for cleansing turn into roads of harm

A system built for healing now rings the alarm

(Chorus)

Tiny tubes, winding through the grey

Tiny tubes, carrying what we cannot say

From cell to cell they flow, a secret in the night

Tiny tubes, glowing faint in the fading light

(Bridge)

If we could steer the flow, adjust the watchful tide

Dial the network down or up, the future opened wide

What if we could guide each tube to shield instead of spread

Rewriting how the memory of a lifetime's threads are led

(Chorus - repeat)

Tiny tubes, winding through the grey

Tiny tubes, carrying what we cannot say

From cell to cell they flow, a secret in the night

Tiny tubes, glowing faint in the fading light

(Outro)

In the quiet mind's deep chambers we now glimpse the road

Marked by countless tiny tubes bearing heavy loads

May we learn to map their passage, may we learn to find

How to light the darkest pathways, and free an aging mind
