State of Emergency

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I need a sound that's too loud to ignore I wanna dance in the path of the storm Oh, 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 Whoa, oh, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh, oh [Pre-Chorus 1] I chased the sound, 'cause the sound, well, it's never failed me I feel the clouds hover over me [Chorus] And now I'm trying, but I can't see (Whoa, oh, oh, whoa) All the good right in front of me (Whoa, oh, oh, whoa) Why does it feel like we're constantly (Whoa, oh, oh, whoa) Oh, in a state of emergency? Whoa, oh, oh, whoa [Verse 2] Oh wе all understand what the story's about Till we all shakе 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 [Pre-Chorus 2] It's breaking down, all around, while we sit here waiting We're burning light impatiently [Chorus] And now I'm trying, but I can't see (Whoa, oh, oh, whoa) All the good right in front of me (Whoa, oh, oh, whoa) Sometimes, it feels like we're constantly (Whoa, oh, oh, whoa) Oh, in a state of emergen—, a state of emergency [Bridge] 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 [Breakdown] 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? Whoa, oh, oh, whoa [Outro] A state of emergency (Whoa, oh, oh, whoa) A state of emergency (Whoa, oh, oh, whoa) A state of emergen—, a state of emergency Whoa, oh, oh, oh
