DILATE
life used to be life-like
now it's more like showbiz
i wake up in the night
and i don't know here the bathroom is
and i don't know what town i'm in
or what sky i am under
and i wake up in the darkness
i don't have the will anymore to wonder
everyone has a skeleton
and a closet to keep it in
and you're mine
every song has a you
a you that the singer sings to
and you're it this time
yeah baby, you're it this time

when i need to wipe my face
i used the back of my hand
and i like to take up space
just because i can
and i use my dress
to wipe up my drink
you know i care less and less what people think
and you are so lame
you always disappoint me
it's kinda like a running joke
but its really not funny
i just want you to live up to
the image of you i create
i see you and i'm so unsatisfied
i see you and i dilate

so i walk the plank
and i'll jump with a smile
'cuz if i'm gonna go down
i'm gonna do it with style
and you won't see me surrender
you won't hear me confess
'cuz you left me with nothing
but i've worked with less
and i learn every room long enough
to make it to the door
and then i hear it click shut behind me
and every key works differently
i forget every time
and the forgetting defines me
yeah that's what defines me

when i say you sucked my brain out
the english translation
is i am in love with you
and it is no fun
but i don't use words like love
words like that don't matter
don't look so offended
no you should be flattered
i wake up in the night
in some big hotel bed
my hands grope for the light
my hands grop for my head
the world is my oyster
the road is my home
and i know that i'm better
off alone
