Sixpence None The Richer
"Disconnect"

Music & Lyrics by : Tess Wiley

these things which I so often wonder 
this need to create myself 
frustration forgotten through slumber 
it's there when I wake, defeated before I rise 
I'd pull myself out of this mire 
if I could collect my strength 
or muster an ounce of desire 
finding the words, and making them mine 

is there somewhere 
I could separate this feeling from memory 
disconnect myself from me? 

desire inside to mistreat you 
it pushes words out of my mouth 
this cyclical pattern I feed you 
the back & forth, & up & down 
but still here you are 

behind this veil of pious revelation 
I'll close my eyes and look for worth inside 
I don't deserve you 

relinquishing hope for the future 
I try not to hate it so 
but you are a bridge to those memories 
I try to forget, if you only knew 

is there somewhere to occupy emotion 
a room to keep my rage away from you? 
just tell me when these hopeless days are over 
I'll open my eyes and see my new sun rise
