Disaffectation Lyrics by Ought

Room Inside the World

2018

[Intro]
Coming through the cracks
Of a visionary sign
You can take it if you like
It is a wonder in the black

[Verse 1]
I have all these strange visions come to me at night
Hear with satisfaction as they sing the words I like
They say do it again, take it in stride
Do it again, you'll never know

[Pre-Chorus 1]
These city streets keep me boxed up and alone
Well here's some medication, you can get it through the phone

[Chorus 1]
Disaffectation is holy, it makes me feel alive
And I'll do it again, I'll run a mile
I lay here
I lay here
High

[Bridge]
Give me a ring, I've got a plan
Myriad things, here in my hand

[Break]
I feel my feet in the fire
I fade away from the light
It takes me far away from here

[Verse 2]
Baby sings to baby
"You're safe in wings of love"
Hear with satisfaction
As they circle you like doves
Feel it again
Then run a mile
Knock at the door
Feeling your smile

[Pre=Chorus 2]
These city streets keep me hold up in my mind
Well here's some liberation, you can order it online

[Chorus 2]
Disaffectation is holy
It makes me feel alive
And I'll do it again, take it in stride
I lay here
I lay here
Why?
Disaffectation is holy
It makes me feel alive
And I'll do it again
I don't know why

[Break]
I feel my feet in the fire
I feel the fire in my ears
It lifts me higher and higher
It takes me far away from here
It takes me far away from here
