I Have Not Time (Évariste Galois)

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your mind a root system cracking stone,
finding what stays fixed when everything bends—
the way your pencil traced those radicals last night,
proof scrawled in margins like a fever map.
Your neurons firing theta waves through sleepless hours,
each synapse blazing pathways no one else could see.

[Chorus]
You built a language out of breaking,
turned the unthinkable to light,
your hands that held the impossible,
made structure dance, made pattern sing—
this is how we know you're alive,
in every symmetry you shattered bright.

[Verse 2]
Cortical remapping: you rewired mathematics itself,
axonal branching into territories unmapped,
the way your fingers moved through group theory's garden,
long-term potentiation strengthening each new connection.
You saw what hides inside the algebra—
permutations spinning like a celestial engine.

[Chorus]
You built a language out of breaking,
turned the unthinkable to light,
your hands that held the impossible,
made structure dance, made pattern sing—
this is how we know you're alive,
in every symmetry you shattered bright.

[Bridge]
Mirror neurons firing as you whispered equations to the dark,
proprioception of a mind touching the edge of what's true—
your body knew the music before language could follow,
predictive coding reading futures hidden in polynomial form,
neurogenesis blooming where others saw only walls.

[Chorus]
You built a language out of breaking,
turned the unthinkable to light,
your hands that held the impossible,
made structure dance, made pattern sing—
this is how we know you're alive,
in every symmetry you shattered bright.

[Outro]
Those equations still vibrate in the marrow,
your radical expressions humming through our neural fire,
forever rearranging what we thought was settled.
