My New Room by The Island of Misfit Toys Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My new room will be pulled into completion soon
White brick and bloody-pulp maroon
A taut afterthought sweat cocoon
My new room, my new room, my new room
My new cling-wrap routine
Wake up to Mark blasting Siamese Dream
I hear my Mayfair steed galloping
I go to work, she makes my caged bird sing
Wipe the sweat, wipe the sweat from my forehead
Reverse route
Seven dollars for a roundabout
When it comes to money, I will mask my doubts
That I'm a spider up its waterspout
Tear my limbs, all eight limbs off their hinges
Drop LBs
Walk with athletic shorts and short-sleeve steeze
Mammary mogul, I wear these tight tees
To shed some light on insecurities
Oh my God, I've created a monster
[Chorus]
I wasn't crying, but I couldn't stop
I wasn't crying, but I couldn't stop
I wasn't crying, but I couldn't stop
I wasn't crying, but I couldn't stop
I'm passing a threshold from big boy to tenfold
Tearing my larynx and missing my parents
I've got a mattress and no moral compass
I roll on my axis when she leaves me sleepless
[Verse 2]
My new room
Last night it spelled impending doom
The carpet crawling up my feet and hands
With two buzzards for a ceiling fan
I wake up, I wake up to a phone call
My good friend is wondering when I will see her again
I tell her I would cancel any plans
To stay distracted 'til the birds descend
They will caw, they will claw, they will watch me grow up
[Chorus]
I wasn't crying, but I couldn't stop
I wasn't crying, but I couldn't stop
I wasn't crying, but I couldn't stop
Watch me grow, watch me grow, watch me grow up too fast
I wasn't crying, but I couldn't stop
I wasn't crying, but I couldn't stop
I wasn't crying, but I couldn't stop
Watch me grow, watch me grow, watch me grow up too fast
I'm passing a threshold from big boy to tenfold
(I wasn't crying, but I couldn't stop
I wasn't crying, but I couldn't stop)
Tearing my larynx and missing my parents
(I wasn't crying, but I couldn't stop
Watch me grow, watch me grow, watch me grow up too fast)
I've got a mattress and no moral compass
(I wasn't crying, but I couldn't stop
I wasn't crying, but I couldn't stop)
I roll on my axis when she leaves me sleepless
(I wasn't crying, but I couldn't stop
Watch me grow, watch me grow, watch me grow up too fast)
I wasn't crying, but I couldn't stop
I wasn't crying, but I couldn't stop
I wasn't crying, but I couldn't stop
Watch me grow, watch me grow, watch me grow up too fast
My new room will be pulled into completion soon
White brick and bloody-pulp maroon
A taut afterthought sweat cocoon
My new room, my new room, my new room
My new cling-wrap routine
Wake up to Mark blasting Siamese Dream
I hear my Mayfair steed galloping
I go to work, she makes my caged bird sing
Wipe the sweat, wipe the sweat from my forehead

I wasn't crying, but I couldn't stop
I wasn't crying, but I couldn't stop
I wasn't crying, but I couldn't stop

Tearing my larynx and missing my parents
I've got a mattress and no moral compass
