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 and 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 |
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 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 |
'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 |
I forget every time |
And the forgetting defines me |
That’s what defines me |
Ohhh ho ho |
Ohhh ho ho |
Ohhh ho ho |
Ohhh ho ho |
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 |
The road is my home |
And I know that i’m better |
Off alone |
Ohhh ho ho |
Ohhh ho ho |
Ohhh ho ho |
Ohhh ho ho |
