    Lyrics:
    There's something in the air
    Burning ions in the oxygen are all aglow
    A feeling everywhere
    Premonitions of the storm that comes
    But I won't go
    I'm done running towards
    The eyes of tornadoes
    Pretending this is home
    I breathe in the atmosphere
    Let it wash over my fear
    Of these heights as I transcend
    And become whole again
    I breathe in the atmosphere
    Let it take me out of here
    I won't live life in the rain
    Waiting on the sky to change
    Been frozen since that day
    I saw my clear blue skies
    As they turned to gray in front of me
    It's hard to find my way
    Can I rise above
    When giving up is all I know?
    I'm done running towards
    The eyes of tornadoes
    Pretending this is hope
    I breathe in the atmosphere
    Let it wash over my fear
    Of these heights as I transcend
    And become whole again
    I breathe in the atmosphere
    Let it take me out of here
    I won't live life in the rain
    Waiting on the sky to change
    And the water's rising
    Going deaf from the sound of rain
    And the water's rising
    I won't drown in the flood you made
    And the water's rising
    Going deaf from the sound of rain
    And the water's rising
    I won't drown in the flood you made
    I breathe in the atmosphere
    Let it wash over my fear
    Of these heights as I transcend
    And become whole again
    I breathe in the atmosphere
    Let it wash over my fear
    Of these heights as I transcend
    And become whole again
    I breathe in the atmosphere
    Let it take me out of here
    I won't live life in the rain
    Waiting on the sky to change
    Waiting on the sky to change
    Waiting on the sky to change
    Waiting on the sky to change
    Waiting on the sky to change

    Most of the time when an artist is featured it's just their vocals, not their style of music, that's added. This was a perfect mix of Starset and Breaking Benjamin. I heard both styles of music in this, it wasn't just a Starset song. An absolute masterpiece in arrangement, execution, and visuals.

The BB influence is strong in this track, but it's done amazingly. And you can easily hear the influence of BB in starsets stuff. Im so glad they did this.

    Starset is the only band for which I’ll ever buy VIP tickets more than once. The only band who has consistently, without fail, enthralled, enticed and enchanted me with their creative way with words and sounds.
    Starset’s music is an intimation and symphony of clever compositions, magnetic demonstrations and penetrating narratives.
    I carry much love for you guys 😊 so much, in fact, that I’ve dedicated one of my own creations to you because you have been my inspiration in many things.
    Whatever your true message might be, know that you’ve effected at least me.

Got a deluxe version that came with a shirt and they toured here with All that Remains shortly after that I went to.

    Just want to point out to those who don't know already. This song is originally a Downplay song off their 2011 album "Beyond the Machine". Dustin, the lead singer of Starset, was also the lead for Downplay before their end. I believe they got the rights to the song and did a re-release of "Beyond the Machine", however, "Waiting on the sky to change" is missing off the 2022 album. Bitter sweet, because the old version was a banger in its own right as well. You can still listen to the old version by Downplay on CZcams at a lower bit rate, however.

    It's really interesting to see how music evolves. When I was younger, Breaking Benjamin was all about the journey we take through pain, love, and life. And now, with songs like this, it's like, we grew up. We grew from our pain. We made a decision that this isn't where we are going to stay.
    It really resonates with my life and the experiences I've had. Being stuck, so cold, and then deciding we aren't going to run towards the eye of the tornado, we are gonna walk through it instead of staying in the calm within the storm.
    It's beautiful.

    I had the pleasure of getting a VIP ticket to see Breaking Benjamin, Seether, Starset, and Lacey Sturm live in Cincinnati on May 11th and it was an awesome experience. The best performances were when they performed songs together. Breaking Benjamin performed Breath with Dustin Bates, Diary of Jane with Shaun Morgan, and, of course, Dear Agony with Lacey Sturm. Seether had Lacey Sturm while they were on stage performing one of her songs, and Lacey Sturm even had Starset's stunning violinists perform with her. It was great to hear these two amazing bands come together in a live performance, and it's even better to hear them together in a studio performance with a new song.

I was even more surprised that they played in Cincinnati of all places. They only toured to like 13 cities in the east. I had to go. My first and probably last concert as I don't think I'll ever see a lineup that legendary ever again. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to rub it in or anything.

    Aside from an incredible sound and a video to match, lyrically this song is amazing. For me it's like someone that can see the direction in which the world is heading, and at times it can feel overwhelming, and the situation helpless. At times it's difficult to just live life when they are so awake to the turmoil that lies ahead. They have lived this way for a long time. They then reach a turning point where they refuse to continue living angry and anxious about that which they can't change, instead choosing to live a life of faith in something bigger. A true anthem of the awakened or anyone dealing with anything that seems insurmountable.

      You said it man, Faith. So important to keep at the forefront of all else and in clear view. It's too often confused with hope, which in small doses can be healthy. But once those lines blur until they mesh into a carefree optimism there's no center to balance yourself onto, you lose control, the further you slip the more disoriented you become, the more you try to fill false voids and gain control over things you can't and before you know it you're left with nothing to lean on but fear.

    These two genius bands influence my own symphonic metal music more than any other bands.🌀💠🌟 I am so happy to see them in collaboration with each other. Starset is really moving up!

    Guys, this song kicks SO much ass. My two favorite rock bands collaborating like this will always be something I support, and this is no exception. I could listen to a whole album of collabs from these two bands, truly spectacular!

    Still can't stop listening to this song. It was made by both of my favorite artists after all.

    definitely not expecting that collab! I just started listening to breaking Benjamin (I know I’m pretty late to the party) but I love their sound.
