Ani Difranco - Dilate Lyrics
Life used to be life-likeNow its more like showbizI wake up in the nightAnd I dont know where the bathroom isAnd I dont know what town Im inOr what sky I am underAnd I wake up in the darkness and iDont have the will anymore to wonderEveryone has a skeletonAnd a closet to keep it inAnd your mineEvery song has a youA you that the singer sings toAnd youre it this timeBaby, youre it this timeWhen I need to wipe my faceI use the back of my handAnd I like to take up spaceJust because I canAnd I use my dressTo wipe up my drinkI care less and lessWhat people thinkAnd you are so lameYou always dissapoint meIts kind of like our running jokeBut its really not funnyAnd I just want you to live up toThe image of you I createI see you and Im so unsatisfiedI see you and I dialateSo Ill walk the plankAnd Ill jump with a smileIf Im gonna go downIm gonna do it with styleAnd you wont see me surrenderYou wont hear me confesscuz youve left me with nothingBut Ive worked with lessAnd I learn every room long enoughTo make it to the doorAnd then I hear it click shut behind meAnd every key works differentlyI forget everytimeAnd forgetting defines meThats what defines meWhen I say you sucked my brain outThe english translationIs I am in love with youAnd it is no funBut I dont use words like lovecuz works like that dont matterBut dont look so offendedYou know, you should be flatteredAnd I wake up in the nightIn some big hotel bedAnd my hands grope for the lightAnd my hands grope for my headThe world is my oysterThe road is my homeAnd I know that Im betterOff alone
