[Intro]
      
      
      
      


[Verse]
             
Sticks and sto

              
nes may break 

           
my bones, word

s killed me lo

ng ago
             
Ever since I h

              
eard the word 

    
"enough"

       
I see people w

alking, taking

 stride
            
I learned ever

              
y man is mad w

         
ith pride
              
Built on a lov

          
e for the lie

             
Power is the m

           
eaning of life


[Chorus]
             
And I'm dying 

            
for something 


new
             
Why can't we c

            
hange the worl

       
d when we can 

change the tru

th?

              
They'll say, "

             
Boy, keep on d

            
reaming", it's

            
 all this boy 

 
can do

              
Tryna dream my

             
self out of th

               
is nightmare

      


[Verse]
 
Old ways bring

ing me to tear

s
      
Don't cry for 

death, it's ju

st a fear
             
Something that

              
 you made up i

        
n your head

 
Work me till y

ou break me do

wn
   
Retire once I'

m in the groun

d
             
Just to replac

              
e me when I'm 

 
gone

             
Yeah, it's the

           
 same old song


[Chorus]
             
And I'm dying 

            
for something 


new
             
Why can't we c

            
hange the worl

       
d when we can 

change the tru

Tryna dream my

[Break]
             
And I wonder i

             
f there's some

They're scream
