Dilate - Alive In Standby

Pretend it’s okay

I’m fine in all of your eyes

I hide it so well

I fool myself sometimes

Living day by day

My whole life’s been rehearsed

To die or pass away

I forget which one’s worse

So, what gives you the right

To push me off to the side?

I’ve got a lot to learn as a man

Do you know what it’s like?

Can’t even look in your eyes

Growing up didn’t go as I planned

I’m not a brave soul

I never claimed to be

Dilate my life

Show what I want you to see

Uptight & anxious

Feels like I’ve lost control

Someone take the wheel

I’ve already let go

So what gives you the right

To push me off to the side?

I’ve got a lot to learn as a man

Do you know what it’s like?

Can’t even look in your eyes

Growing up didn’t go as I planned

I’m dying for the innocence

That I can never, ever have again

We’re dying for the innocence

That we can never, ever have again

Never, ever have again

So what gives you the right?

To push me off to the side?

I’ve got a lot to learn as a man

Do you know what it’s like?

Can’t even look in your eyes

Growing up didn’t go as I planned
