Yesterday I forgot to breathe,
For like the 6th time this week.
Maybe it was the pink cloud strafed sky,
That changed my mind and brought me back.
Seems like every day it's kill or be killed.
With all this anger there is no time,
To inhale and progress and catch the smell of something,
You once knew.
Because every day it's bear the load or break.
When will it be too much for me to take?
Have you ever stopped,
Raised your face up to the sun,
And screamed?
Let it out,
Exhale the pain.
That strangulates your soul,
When will I be free?
My lungs take in the fragrance or remorse,
What is the cost?
Am I living?
If you let your lungs fill up with pain,
Then you will drown in your own regret.
My arms feel so numb,
My heart palpitates,
Missing a beat.
The blood freezing in my veins,
The taste of rust in my mouth.
But today I just threw it all away.
Though the light burns my eyes,
I will not be blind.
If you blink,
You could miss so much.
Please don't ever close your eyes.

AH FUCK ! how emotional can a song be !?!
This has to be my absolute FAVORITE song on the album. "Ain't Love Grand" got me hooked on Atreyu, but "Dilated" turned out to be the best song. Favorite lyrics:
My arms feel so numb, My heart palpitates, Missing a beat.
The blood freezing in my veins, The taste of rust in my mouth. But today I just threw it all away.
Atreyu is definitely one of my fav bands because of this song...
"If you blink, You could miss so much...Please don't ever close your eyes." I'm not a big fan of the sound of their music, but how can you resist amazing lyrics like this? It just seems so genuine and real. i love it.
Dude great song, so much emotion there...
I think the correct lyrics are like this:
If you let your lungs fill up with pain, Then you will drown in your own regret. I'm drowning in my own regret.
Stop, look around, what do you see? Rebuild, renew Everything is so beautiful if we just take the time My arms feel so numb, My heart palpitates, Missing a beat.

this song is badass. deff. one of the best songs ive ever heard. i wanna see them live so bad right now. i missed them when they came to filly and now im stabbing myself bc of it. and now theyre playing with bsf! those to bands at one show?! thats so fuckin sick. ive went to some sick shows but those 2 bands are the fuckin hott shit. i would give my life to see them play. id commit suicide on stage like gg allin.
im really not sure what this songs about, but it MIGHT be about him getting over a relationship and now he just wants to fuckin kill her. i kill people too.
when he whispers....... so awesome
I think this song is about heroin and the addiction that goes with it. I don't its just a thought.
this song could possibly be about a drug addiction lead to a broken heart about a beautiful girl just an opinion though
these guys top out on my fave bands list. they have moribidly written lyrics with heart attached to it heavy sound and an orgasmic scream
there are some mistake in the lyrics
