Lyrics
The Chair
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I am the role I play
Really who's to say
I'm not who I am
I wake up and I say
Who am I today?
What will be the plan?
Everyday is the same
No need to explain
(Refrain)
I'm going through the door
I'll be gone for sure
I'm trapped behind the door
The secret you ignore
The thing beneath the floor
Can't take it anymore
Something about me
Something you can't see
The wound that will not bleed
Too dumb and numb to feel
(Refrain)
I'm going through the door
I'll be gone for sure
There's no place alse but here
I'll live inside this fear
I'd like to get away
But then where would I stay?
I wish I didn't care
This role's a perfect fit
To take me to nowhere
Then there is the chair
