Life used to be life-like
Now it's more like showbiz
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
I care less and less
What people think

And you are so lame
You always disappointed me
It's kind of like our running joke
But it's really not funny

And 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
'Cuz 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 forgetting defines me, that's what defines me

When I say you s*cked 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
'Cuz works 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

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 I'm better off alone
