Lyrics

[ACT1] CIRCULATORY. THE RIVER ENGINE

V1

I feel a quiet hammer beat behind my every move

A rhythm in my chest that keeps the body in a groove

Red roads in my arteries go racing out from me

Blue roads in my veins bring the tired blood home to me

V2

Through every tiny capillary the cargo finds its way

Oxygen and nutrients make house calls every day

Wastes jump in for a ride so they can leave politely

This river engine hustles while I barely think nightly

V3

When I start to run or when I laugh until I cry

The heartbeat ups the pressure just to keep my levels high

It spreads my heat and hormones through the whole biology

A pumping moving highway for the rest of what is me

Pre1

If blood is always working like a river out at sea

What happens to the body when that engine is not free

Chorus

Heartbeats keep life moving through all of me

Breathing pulls in oxygen to charge my energy

Food breaks down to fuel the body’s chemistry Signals link the thoughts that shape my destiny

Hormones shape tides that set my inner harmony

While Defender cells guard each corner to keep me free

[ACT2] RESPIRATORY. THE BREATHING ENGINE

V4

Air slips in so quietly you almost miss the sound

But lungs are busy stretching like two sails that just unbound

Deep inside the alveoli the gases trade their fee

Oxygen jumps into the blood as carbon slips from me

V5

The diaphragm keeps dropping like a stage hand out of sight

Each breath is like a piston in a car that wants the light

Slow and calm at resting, loud and fast in P.E.

This engine sets the ceiling for how strong my moves can be

V6

Every spoken sentence rides the airflow out my chest

Every laugh and whispered secret flies on air that passed the test

This breathing keeps the pH in a narrow narrow sea

Too much or not enough and it will crash the chemistry

Pre2

If every breath is trading what my body wants to flee

How long could any system last without that air in me

Chorus

Heartbeats keep life moving through all of me

Breathing pulls in oxygen to charge my energy

Food breaks down to fuel the body’s chemistry

Signals link the thoughts that shape my destiny

Hormones shape tides that set my inner harmony

While Defender cells guard each corner to keep me free

[ACT3] DIGESTIVE. THE FUEL ENGINE

V7

The journey starts with chewing as the teeth begin the grind

Saliva throws in enzymes just to help the food unwind

The stomach adds its acids with a churning salty sea

And turns my lunch to slurry that the gut can then set free

V8

The small intestine stretches like a long and winding road

With villi grabbing nutrients from the half forgotten load

Sugars fats and amino chains jump into blood with glee

So cells can burn or build with what the menu gave to me

V9

The liver acts like customs for the traffic passing through

It filters, stores, and edits what the bloodstream plans to do

Pancreas drops enzymes like a toolkit silently

This fuel engine keeps feeding every engine tied to me

Pre3

If every bite I swallow turns to building blocks and heat

What kind of house am I inside with every meal I eat

Chorus

Heartbeats keep life moving through all of me

Breathing pulls in oxygen to charge my energy

Food breaks down to fuel the body’s chemistry

Signals link the thoughts that shape my destiny

Hormones shape tides that set my inner harmony

While Defender cells guard each corner to keep me free

[ACT4] NERVOUS. THE SIGNAL ENGINE

V10

Inside my skull a thundercloud of neurons sparks and glows

Electric little whispers race along their branching rows

The spinal cord’s a freeway where the messages run free

From fingertips and toes back to command at H.Q. me

V11

Reflexes pull my hand away before I think of pain

My eyes report the hallway and my feet adjust their lane

Every sound and smell and color streams into this grand marquee

The signal engine edits what my mind is allowed to see

V12

From brain out to the muscles run the final firing lines

They tell my legs to sprint and hold my back in tricky climbs

Thoughts become decisions, then a movement, then a spree

This engine keeps me steering who I might grow up to be

Pre4

If sparks inside my wiring pick the paths my life will take

What kind of world am I creating every choice I make

Chorus

Heartbeats keep life moving through all of me

Breathing pulls in oxygen to charge my energy

Food breaks down to fuel the body’s chemistry

Signals link the thoughts that shape my destiny

Hormones shape tides that set my inner harmony

While Defender cells guard each corner to keep me free

[ACT5] ENDOCRINE. THE RHYTHM ENGINE

V13

High above in tiny glands the quiet messengers are born

Pituitary, thyroid, and the adrenals stand sworn

They leak their drops of hormone into blood so patiently

Then ride the river outward to adjust the rest of me

V14

They nudge my growth in inches, tune my hunger and my sleep

They set the pace of burning when the energy runs deep

Under stress they shout out cortisol to get me up the tree

Then calm it down when danger fades so I can finally breathe

V15

From puberty to morning mood this crew conducts the band

They change the beat so slowly that I barely understand

But rhythms in my cycles and the waves of memory

All dance to secret chemicals conducting quietly

Pre5

If slow and drifting signals shape the tides inside the sea

How many moods and milestones trace their patterns back to me

Chorus

Heartbeats keep life moving through all of me

Breathing pulls in oxygen to charge my energy

Food breaks down to fuel the body’s chemistry

Signals link the thoughts that shape my destiny

Hormones shape tides that set my inner harmony

While Defender cells guard each corner to keep me free

[ACT6] IMMUNE. THE DEFENSE ENGINE AND SYNTHESIS

V16

At every cut and doorway there are guards I never see

White cells in the bloodstream, lymph in vessels running free

They scan for viral passports and for foreign infantry

Then tag them with antibodies like a glowing enemy

V17

Some fighters act the moment any stranger shows its face

Some learn slow, remember, then respond with double pace

Vaccines rehearse the battle so the body holds the key

This engine turns experience into future victory

V18

Around these six foundations all the other systems spin

Muscles move on orders, bones keep everything locked in

Skin stands as the front gate, kidneys strain the inner sea

New lives rise from reproduction to continue all of me

Pre6

If all these hidden engines hold the life inside of me

What stories would my body tell if it could sing to me

Chorus (Extended)

Heartbeats keep life moving through all of me

Breathing pulls in oxygen to charge my energy

Food breaks down to fuel the body’s chemistry

Signals link the thoughts that shape my destiny

Hormones shape tides that set my inner harmony

While Defender cells guard each corner to keep me free

Tell me who I would be if these engines ever stopped working for me

Bridge

Rivers in my veins, the breath inside my chest

Fuel along my gut so every cell is blessed

Signals in my nerves, the tides of hormone sea

Shields of living memory that keep defending me

Outro

From the first soft beat I borrowed to the last breath I will breathe

Six foundational engines keep the life inside of me

And every other system rides the strength of that decree

A human body humming like a hidden factory in me
