The planets are cuticles
The crescent moon’s a hanging fingernail
And on the cosmic scale 
We’re just one molecule

But we have choices
when stars are dead before they're even born.

Stars are apples on trees
A sprawling orchard the galaxy
And on the cosmic scale 
We’re indistinguishable.

Are we eternal if we’re more free than
the infernos overhead

The fact that I can change
be more than physics in a brain
and still be looking for what won't come
what won’t come to be

That I am so small
when I what need is invisible
The cosmic scale makes no difference when I’m  lost
The cosmic scale makes no difference when I’m 


A scale I can’t conceive 
That each choice
weighs more than

The matter that dwarfs me
and lightyears are
second thoughts

The cosmic scale is inconceivable
Oh the cosmic scale

This future won’t unfold
leaves me wondering what else will come
Stars are the gaps that closed
A universe of lives I won’t know
A universe of lives I won’t know

A scale I can’t conceive
between each breath
is a wormhole’s depth

To be nothing
just cosmic dust
but feel so much

The cosmic scale is inconceivable
Oh the cosmic scale has me feeling smaller than I am

Cosmic Scale
