[Verse 1] You say “that’s just the way it is” Like a script nailed to the wall You’ve been sleeping in the same old story While you’re scared of every fall You call my questions disrespect You call my anger “just a phase” But I’m choking on your quiet comfort On your good old golden days [Chorus] I’m over the line I won’t stand in your straight parade I’m done being fine While you pray that the world won’t change If it burns Let it burn I’m not begging for your praise I’m over the line You can keep your “better days” [Verse 2] You said “wait until you’re older” As if time will make me tame But I’m counting every broken promise With your signature of blame You build fences out of fear Then you dare me not to climb You won’t listen So I’ll scream it louder Your comfort isn’t worth my mind [Chorus] I’m over the line I won’t stand in your straight parade I’m done being fine While you pray that the world won’t change If it hurts Let it hurt I won’t fold and fade away I’m over the line You can keep your “better days” [Bridge] You say “you’ll understand someday” What if someday’s now? What if the kids you taught to bow Are standing up somehow? You’re afraid to lose what’s dying I’m afraid to stay the same So I’ll tear your rulebook open Write my name across the shame (hey!) [Chorus] I’m over the line I won’t stand in your straight parade I’m done being fine While you pray that the world won’t change If it breaks Let it break I won’t live inside your cage I’m over the line Watch me walk off of your stage,
