Lyrics for Black Room Boy
It's the same old scene You've been stuck at the screen for a lifetime You keep your mind sharp and clean With a fix of caffeine for the nighttime You got a page full of friends In a world without end, DIKU? But if push comes to shove You can do without them if they make you With all this poison inside It's much too late to decide You've got your mind made up You've been living a lie in your white room For all the hours that you've cried There's a year of love they denied So you slip through the door And fall to the floor in your BLACK ROOM You're a black room boy You're feeling so weighed down Forget the losses and burn down Fall into city lights Nothing else is easy You kissed your mummy's hand Wearing daddy's ring When they left you And you buried yourself in the pain That they couldn't accept you You're in a world of your own Got no cellular phone -- they can't track you But the girl at the stove With a sketchy rapport She will back you
