The Airborne Toxic Event
[Verse 1]
We were born without time
Nameless in the arms
Of a mother, a father, and God
When the world would wait for us
A thousand years in the crush
Of our eyes, fearless, in awe
Quietly, we'd fade into sleep
With nothing on our minds
[Chorus]
Hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo
[Verse 2]
Then we long to be loved
In the rush, we become
Some things we thought we'd never be

And I feel the water risin' around us
And maybe that's okay
Yeah, I feel the world changin' all at once
I guess it'll be okay
[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Outro]
And we all had one hope
There was someone lookin' down
To return our bodies to each other
And the ground
