Dilate

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

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

[Chorus]

Ohhh ho ho

Ohhh ho ho

Ohhh ho ho

Ohhh ho ho

Ohhh ho ho

Ohhh ho ho

Ohhh ho ho

Ohhh ho ho

[Verse 7]

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

[Verse 8]

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

I'm better

I'm better

Off alone

[Chorus]

Ohhh ho ho

Ohhh ho ho

Ohhh ho ho

Ohhh ho ho

Ohhh ho ho

Ohhh ho ho

Ohhh ho ho

Ohhh ho ho
