Dilate - Ani Difranco

Dilate - Ani Difranco (安妮·迪弗兰科)
Life used to be life-like
Now its more like showbiz
I wake up in the night
And I dont know where the bathroom is
And I dont know what town Im in
Or what sky I am under
And I wake up in the darkness and i
Dont 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 youre it this time
Baby youre 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
Its kind of like our running joke
But its really not funny
And I just want you to live up to
The image of you I create
I see you and Im so unsatisfied
I see you and I dialate
So Ill walk the plank
And Ill jump with a smile
If Im gonna go down
Im gonna do it with style
And you wont see me surrender
You wont hear me confess
Cuz youve left me with nothing
But Ive 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
Thats 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 dont use words like love
Cuz works like that dont matter
But dont 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 Im better
Off alone
