Lyrics

scales

I've been tryna keep the scales in balance
Find a way to feel the things that I can't see
I've been tryna reach the rings of Saturn
Retrogradin' on my frequency

Is there more than just a cosmic silence
Out beyond a place a telescope can be?
I've been shoutin' at the constellations
Wishin' for a sense of harmony
Wishin' for a sense of harmony

I can't quantify my pain
The pros and cons, they weigh the same
Feel like I'm fallin', keep fallin' forever

I've been movin' through the shapes and colors
Felt the burnin' of thе sun below my feet
Never hurt as much as nеver knowin' why
I can't find in-between
No, why I can't find in-between?

I can't quantify my pain
The pros and cons, they weigh the same
Feel like I'm fallin', keep fallin' forever

Feel like I'm fallin', keep fallin' forever
Feel like I'm fallin', keep fallin' forever
Feel like I'm fallin', keep fallin' forever
Feel like I'm fallin', keep fallin' forever
Feel like I'm fallin', keep fallin' forever
