Disconnection

I have to occupy my brain
For that way the voices can't reach me
I hear the rumbling of them everywhere I go

I beg for quietness
I know I'll never get it
Maybe the voices are right though
I was just born to be alone

Disconnection, disconnection
How long until this pain is over
Cause I miss her

I can't leave her all alone
I always want to try to live for her
Wait has long as a can for her
Even if she hates me now

Disconnection, disconnection
How long until this pain is over
Cause I miss her

I'll wait for her
Until my last breath gose
I've been fight the voices for so long
I've been trying to show her
That she is my firefly and keeps me from death
