lyrics

I've been living in a petrie dish
Inspected and magnified
Trapped inside the glass
My moon is your cold blue eye

Nothing looks the same
When you get in close
Nothing's quite as pretty
Once it's been exposed
But that's the way it goes
Under the microscope

You have lost all desire
To see things on a broader scale
You isolate my weaknesses
And through the lens, you see me fail

Nothing looks the same
When you get in close
Nothing's quite as pretty
Once it's been exposed
But that's the way it goes
Under the microscope
