Dilate

Life used to be life-like Now it's more like show biz I wake up in the night And I don't know where 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 And everyone has a skeleton 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 Baby, you're it this time When I need to wipe my face I use 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 our running joke But it's 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'll walk the plank Yeah, I'll jump with a smile 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 'Cause you've 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 And I forget every time And the forgetting defines me Yeah, that's what defines me And 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 'Cause words like that don't matter But don't look so offended You know, you should be flattered And I wake up in the night In some big hotel bed My hands grope for the light My hands grope for my head The world is my oyster You know, the road is my home And I know that I'm better I'm better, I'm better Off alone --- Dilate - Ani DiFranco
