A Forest Thinking About Mathematics

[Verse 1] You trace one line through moss It splits, then doubles back The branches solve their pattern In every shaded crack There’s a question in the roots It hums beneath the ground I feel it count in circles In every echoed sound [Pre-Chorus] If I move, the numbers rearrange If I speak, the forest shifts its frame So I keep the proof in mind Like a theorem with no name [Chorus] One, two, three, then back to one again A spiral through the rain One, two, three, then back to one again Like a path I can’t get through One, two, three, then back to one again The pattern breathes in you One, two, three, then back to one again And it all feels true [Verse 2] You laugh in autumn light The canopy computes Each leaf a quiet symbol On branching living routes I could speak the hidden rule Let all the angles bare But I just watch the fractal grow And leave the answer there [Pre-Chorus] If I move, the numbers rearrange If I speak, the forest shifts its frame So I keep the proof in mind Like a theorem with no name [Chorus] One, two, three, then back to one again A spiral through the rain One, two, three, then back to one again Like a path I can’t get through One, two, three, then back to one again The pattern breathes in you One, two, three, then back to one again And it all feels true [Bridge] Maybe every branch is just a thought Curving toward a limit out of view In the quiet, all the sums are waiting Drawing silent arcs around us two So I stay where the almost lives Where the proofs drift soft in green and blue [Final Chorus] One, two, three, then back to one again A spiral through the rain One, two, three, then back to one again Like a path I can’t get through One, two, three, then back to one again The pattern breathes in you One, two, three, then back to one again And it all feels true
