Irish We Go to the Bar for the Rum

Tiny Brain Tubes Discovered by Johns Hopkins Could Explain Alzheimer’s 


(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
