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
