Dilate

Life used to be life-like

Now it's more like showbiz

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 and I

Don't have the will anymore to wonder

Everyone has a skeleton

And a closet to keep it in

And your 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

I care less and less

What people think

And you are so lame

You always dissapoint me

It's kind of like our running joke

But it's really not funny

And 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

And 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

'Cuz 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

I forget everytime

And forgetting defines me

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

'Cuz works 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

And my hands grope for the light

And my hands grope for my head

The world is my oyster

The road is my home

And I know that I'm better

Off alone
