Paper Gliders - Petri Dish Lyrics

Tried my best to take a step in your kicks
To see what it feels like to have even less than this
There ain't much to my name these days
I keep saying that it's just a phase

Hide my breath cause their ears locked up
I wanna tell the truth but they want the soft stuff
I don't mean to boast or brag
Crocodile smiles never were my bag

Get me out of this petri dish
Just too much to bear
Down and out
The lights might be on but nobody is there

Beg your pardon but I've just one wish
Couldn't you pretend to care?
Down and out
If the game's rigged let's make it fair

Heard a little something 'bout you and me
We can't be destroyed; made of energy
Well I'm ready for apple pie in the sky
And a good meal before I die

Strangers say I overfilled my cup
Well I hate to compare so let me help them up
They say I can't sing the blues
Because you never saw my bruises

Get me out of this petri dish
Just too much to bear
Down and out
The lights might be on but nobody is there

Beg your pardon but I've just one wish
Couldn't you pretend to care?
Down and out
If the game's rigged let's make it fair

Far from you
Far from me

Worlds apart
And yet
Here we are
But I could never step, step, step
On another one's neck
Just to get that far

I did not come from dirt
But save my spot
Cause soon after I jet, jet, jet
It's a wise man bet
I'll be one with a star

Dream too big
Your rattlesnake friends
They will try to kill it
So this is what I get, get, get
What did I expect?
Shoulda been more smart

Her 3 words
"I love you" was just too well-rehearsed
She said she wouldn't, wreck, wreck
But it hurts my head
What she done to my heart
What she done to my heart

Get me out of this petri dish
Just too much to bear
Down and out
The lights might be on but nobody is there

Beg your pardon but I've just one wish
Couldn't you pretend to care?
Down and out
If the game's rigged let's make it fair
