Your Hateful Armchair

It’s time I was spreading my four wings

It’s a small world and a small mind I’ve been in

Far beyond the mess you’ve made 

I’ve almost disappeared

 

As the gold sun passed over the cornfields

My heart jumped like a frisson of fear feels

I’ve over thought tonight so much

It feels like déjà vu

 

Walking through this prison door

That trapped my soul and stole my thoughts

Watch my feet just walk on through

I’m doing this. I’m leaving you

 

My hand lamp was dimmer than the moonlight

I turned back and saw you for the last time

Sedated in your hateful armchair

Dreaming of yourself

 

Walking through this prison door

That trapped my soul and stole my thoughts

Watch my feet just walk on through

I’m doing this. I’m leaving you

 

It’s time I was spreading my four wings

It’s a small world and a small mind I’ve been in

Far beyond the mess you’ve made 

I’ve almost disappeared
