The Voice That Left with the Body

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your voice rewires the room—each phrase a scalpel
carving new pathways through the listening spine.
Synaptic plasticity, that's what they call it
when neurons lean toward sound they've never known.
You don't sing the notes; you sing the spaces
between what was possible and what now breathes.

[Chorus]
You are the throat that teaches throats to open,
the diaphragm that shows us how to live,
every tremolo a mirror neuron firing—
we feel your breath move through our own ribs.
You are permission singing.

[Verse 2]
Your mezza voce floods the hippocampus,
that seahorse chamber where we bind the felt to fact.
Long-term potentiation: your sustained high C
rewires us so we can't unhear it.
The curtain rises and cortical remapping starts—
visual, auditory, proprioceptive all at once:
you move and we become your body.

[Chorus]
You are the throat that teaches throats to open,
the diaphragm that shows us how to live,
every tremolo a mirror neuron firing—
we feel your breath move through our own ribs.
You are permission singing.

[Bridge]
Myelination speeds along each axon—
we're learning faster how to feel this large.
Your theta waves sync with ours in the dark,
predictive coding: we know what's coming
and you shatter every prediction anyway,
send us spinning into the unmapped regions.

[Chorus]
You are the throat that teaches throats to open,
the diaphragm that shows us how to live,
every tremolo a mirror neuron firing—
we feel your breath move through our own ribs.
You are permission singing.

[Outro]
Your voice doesn't fade when the curtain falls—
it lives in our rewired throats now,
singing back to you from inside our ribs.
