[00:00.00]Dilate - Ani Difranco
[00:19.53]Life used to be life-like
[00:20.40]Now its more like showbiz
[00:24.90]I wake up in the night
[00:27.66]And I dont know where the bathroom is
[00:29.91]And I dont know what town Im in
[00:32.34]Or what sky I am under
[00:33.65]And I wake up in the darkness and i
[00:36.40]Dont have the will anymore to wonder
[00:38.40]Everyone has a skeleton
[00:41.91]And a closet to keep it in
[00:44.34]And your mine
[00:46.34]
[00:49.10]Every song has a you
[00:51.83]A you that the singer sings to
[00:54.58]And youre it this time
[00:56.83]Baby youre it this time
[01:01.89]
[01:07.71]When I need to wipe my face
[01:09.65]I use the back of my hand
[01:12.09]And I like to take up space
[01:15.33]Just because I can
[01:16.71]And I use my dress
[01:19.15]To wipe up my drink
[01:21.27]I care less and less
[01:22.90]What people think
[01:23.71]And you are so lame
[01:28.90]You always dissapoint me
[01:31.71]Its kind of like our running joke
[01:33.96]But its really not funny
[01:35.52]And I just want you to live up to
[01:37.96]The image of you I create
[01:40.84]I see you and Im so unsatisfied
[01:43.90]I see you and I dialate
[01:46.90]
[02:04.30]So Ill walk the plank
[02:06.30]And Ill jump with a smile
[02:08.67]If Im gonna go down
[02:11.30]Im gonna do it with style
[02:13.17]And you wont see me surrender
[02:15.36]You wont hear me confess
[02:17.67]Cuz youve left me with nothing
[02:20.80]But Ive worked with less
[02:22.49]And I learn every room long enough
[02:25.17]To make it to the door
[02:27.18]And then I hear it click shut behind me
[02:31.92]And every key works differently
[02:34.48]I forget everytime
[02:36.99]And forgetting defines me
[02:39.73]Thats what defines me
[02:42.61]When I say you sucked my brain out
[03:20.99]The english translation
[03:23.12]Is I am in love with you
[03:25.56]And it is no fun
[03:27.31]But I dont use words like love
[03:29.74]Cuz works like that dont matter
[03:32.06]But dont look so offended
[03:34.12]You know you should be flattered
[03:36.68]And I wake up in the night
[03:39.18]In some big hotel bed
[03:41.18]And my hands grope for the light
[03:43.50]And my hands grope for my head
[03:46.06]The world is my oyster
[03:48.49]The road is my home
[03:50.68]And I know that Im better
[03:53.12]Off alone
