A New World

[Verse 1]
Here is a child buried alive in my chest
There is a stranger, makes himself home in my bed
And I don't believe even what I can see for myself
I can see for myself through the bars of this cell

[Chorus]
Everybody wants to find a new world
Everybody's looking for a sign
Every day is tender as a sunburn
Why can't I find mine?
Why can't I find mine?

[Verse 2]
Give me a mountain of silver and gold and I'll stop
Build me a box of velvet and pine and I'll drop
But ask me to live what I know, see I choke and I cough
Yeah, I choke on my scotch, can you see what I've lost?

[Chorus]
Everybody wants to find a new world
Everybody's looking for a sign
Every day is tender as a sunburn
Why can't I find mine?
Why can't I find mine?

[Bridge]
Even when the grass burns black, I'm waiting for it
And even the future cracks, I'm waiting for it
And even you don't come back, I'm waiting for it
I'm waiting for it, I'm waiting for it

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm turning over like an engine
Turning over 'til I catch

[Chorus]
Everybody wants to find a new world
Everybody's looking for a sign
Every day is tender as a sunburn
Why can't I find mine?
Why can't I find mine?
