Lyrics
Karyokinesis
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A nucleus splits itself
and there are two lives
and four and eight again
in the right order
a magic magic process
maybe a blind process
or maybe illuminated fundamentally
with no past
a nucleus splits itself
error interrupts
inside a mechanism
a well that's called chance.
