Penicillin, Vitamin B12, Insulin

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your X-rays bent through atoms nobody could see,
diffracting light like prayers made visible—
you held the patterns up to your own eye
and read the alphabet of matter itself.
Every bond a letter, every molecule a sentence
written in angles only your brain could parse.
You mapped the invisible architecture
with hands steady enough to hold the world's smallest secrets.

[Chorus]
You lit up the dark with scattered rays,
showed us the geometry of life,
structure singing where silence used to be,
your vision crystallized the sacred inside things.

[Verse 2]
Your cortex remapped with each refinement,
synaptic plasticity burning new pathways
as you rotated models in your mind's eye—
long-term potentiation encoding every failure,
every near-miss that taught your hippocampus
the shape of insulin, the face of penicillin.
Your mirror neurons fired watching others guess wrong,
then your hands corrected what their predictions had missed.
You built predictive models in the meat of your thinking,
axonal branches reaching further with each solved structure.

[Chorus]
You lit up the dark with scattered rays,
showed us the geometry of life,
structure singing where silence used to be,
your vision crystallized the sacred inside things.

[Bridge]
The world was atoms in chaos until you came—
your theta waves orchestrating precision,
interoception of the molecular skin,
proprioception of the tiniest scaffolds.
You didn't just look. You *knew*.

[Chorus]
You lit up the dark with scattered rays,
showed us the geometry of life,
structure singing where silence used to be,
your vision crystallized the sacred inside things.

[Outro]
Those diffraction patterns spinning still,
your equations humming underneath
every medicine, every engineered grace.
The atoms know your name.
