[Verse 1]
Runaway heat
(Can be slowed)
Policy shifts
(Change the mode)
Markets adapt
(Signals align)

(Redraw the line)
Permafrost thaw
(Is not fate)
Methane curves
(Can decelerate)
[Pre-Chorus – Building]

Instability
(Also stabilizes)
When networks learn
(And nodes engage)
System behavior
(Leaves the cage)
[Chorus – Driving but Uplifting]
Tipping point
(Reversal)
Positive feedback
(Can go universal)
Bend the curve
(Shift the frame)
Change the rules
(Change the game)

Feedback loops
(Can dampen too)
Stability emerges
(From what we do)
