Scientists hinted at a middle earth existence
that we all sense, what we do as a scale of symptoms
molecules or strings it makes no difference
A universe expands as futures lay unwritten, or is it?
Illusions, past and present really are non-sequential
scales come unbalanced in experimentals
zoom out, see this plane through a lens that is tenfold
quasars calibrate coordinates like sentinels, now
machinery keeps a whole world lit up
at night we sit up, no sleep just business

commerce, trades vying for local supremacy
might makes right, the way its meant to be
streets obscure many entities with pot hole engine steam
benevolent machine is many things
from scales of the nano to scales of the piano
these words cut deeper than paths of river channels
our lives on the anvil, forged by flames or discarded to landfills
of course pain is pardoned by how time can standstill

We can make sense of the scales if we make sense of ourselves
Make sense of the scales if we make sense of ourselves
Make sense of the scales/ make sense of ourselves
Make sense of the scales/ make sense of ourselves

Blood fills a cove along migration routes,
Death spreads from a fishing people's to adjacent towns
Algal blooms uptake all dissolved oxygen
cull involved operands, no more cauldrons of collagen
Phase shifts be given this world a face lift
Pearls we've wasted, merely sand encasement

Weighed then appraised on scales at remote points of sales
From aquaculture ventures to reach throats poised and frail
To prove make we scratch glass, to move weight react fast
We tube steak, sentient meat all action but no use case
To repel death some can pay to scale Everest
While they contemplate scaling market share via leverage
Diabetics Synthesize insulin inside of crevices
Overhaul Entire metrics, titrate vital remnants
we've summoned revenants to cope with Failure states
Our skin turns to scales as we enter what hell awaits
 
We can make sense of the scales if we make sense of ourselves
Make sense of the scales if we make sense of ourselves
Make sense of the scales/ make sense of ourselves
Make sense of the scales/ make sense of ourselves

What are we now, just a bio-film stretched to form fit
fossils of urban orbits, forced to forage like flies among orchids
Naut atop the fortress, through monoculars spot the warships
Corvettes, in formation to threaten water sources
Liquid percolates, cleaned by top soil that's still good
No more Reverse osmosis cause we can't produce the filters
Ions across the membranes, cross cuts across the  end grain
Cost us the forests now my culture has no end game

value crisis in times of need, blame ourselves condemn our seed
to transmit myths - humans: monolithic in how we see
It's not that scales limit us, in fact the scales limitless
Lets overstand exactly what it is scales have given us
In every part of the whole, there's a whole of the part
If we deny this then we live with a hole in our hearts
In every start of a flow, there's an end that can grow
Can this scale, time well tell how far this can go
Our stories are just a few that can scaled across the globe
Lets tip the scales for different tales, so other worlds can unfold
