A Chair Without Legs

Now I'm sitting in a chair without legs
Yesterday I threw them under my bed
And now I'm sitting in a chair without legs
Because I was scared to look where my feet stand

This game is not the one I want to play
Yet you keep pulling my strings
I'm not the doll you wanted to play with
Don't they have other dolls

Now I'm sitting in a chair without legs
Yesterday I threw them under my bed
And now I'm sitting in a chair without legs
Because I was scared to look where my feet stand

Ten feet under and my head is pounding
It was an accident, please excuse me
The lie you spread all over me
While cutting my brain in halves

Maybe you didn't give me the time
The time to look around
Maybe I didn't know how to ask
But then you cut my brain in halves

Now I'm sitting in a chair without legs
Yesterday I threw them under my bed
And now I'm sitting in a chair without legs
Because I was scared to look where I stand
