Magnitude

https://soundcloud.com/jpeter-ash/magnitude

Inches and ounces
Swirling in my head
They measure out my breadth precisely
As I said

Distance divided
What happened to my square
Hypotenuse does stare
It’s just happy to be there

And I can’t measure up to myself
Yet I’m still the ruler over all I do
And I can’t wait to take conversion factors
To compare to the order of your magnitude

Since this has started
I don’t know what I feel
It’s gone straight off the scales
I can’t recallibrate this thing to speed

I froze from resistances I know haven’t happened
A wide road and the distances I’m told lay in waiting
And I’ve grown from the instances that I’ve shown
Affect the length some

And I can’t measure up to myself
Yet I’m still the ruler over all I do
And I can’t wait to take conversion factors
To compare to the order of your magnitude
