True Things You Can't Prove

Math — our cleanest mirror The thing we built to never lie — Has rooms it cannot enter Doors that lock from the inside

A sentence can be true And nothing in the system Can show you why

True things you can't prove True things you can't prove

There's always one more sentence The proofs can't reach A truth at the edge of the language That speaks but cannot teach

You know what this feels like

The love you can't argue for The faith no debate would build The hum behind a piece of music That no analysis can hold

The map will never be the territory The menu will never be the meal And the universe Will always be bigger Than any description of it

True things you can't prove True things you can't prove

So what do you do When the system says I can't get there from here

You step outside the system You build a bigger one And find new truths With new holes

All the way up

True things you can't prove There are always more of them Than the ones you can

And beyond every one — Another horizon And beyond that — Another mirror

That cannot quite see itself
