I need a sound that's too loud to ignore
I wanna dance in the path of the storm
When they came, I didn't say a thing
So I was sleeping when they came for me
Oh, oh, whoa, oh
Oh, oh, whoa, oh
I woke up to a world hypnotized
To its power, I shielded my eyes
So slow, nobody's noticing
Tide rising right around our feet
Oh, oh, whoa, oh
Oh, oh, whoa, oh
I chased the sound, 'cause the sound, well, it's never failed me
I feel the clouds hover over me
And now I'm trying, but I can't see
All the good right in front of me
Why does it feel like we're constantly
Oh, in a state of emergency?
Though we all understand what the story's about
Till we all shake our heads, stamp our feet, scream and shout, hey
I saw it coming from across the sea
So I was ready when it came for me
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
It's breaking down, all around, while we sit here waiting
We're burning light impatiently
And now I'm trying, but I can't see
All the good right in front of me
Sometimes, it feels like we're constantly
Oh, in a state of emergen—, a state of emergency
I'm digging for sunlight, I'm crawling for rain
I'm begging for something to lessen the pain
I'm buried alive, but I still hear my name
Oh, my name, oh, whoa
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
I'm trying, but I can't see
All the good right in front of me
Why does it feel like we're constantly
In a state of emergency?
A state of emergency
A state of emergency
A state of emergen—, a state of emergency
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
