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

[LukeHollandDrums]

Thanks for having me on drums on this track boys 🤝

[scottbabineau]

Fun fact: a lot of breaking benjamin fans are also starset fans. We highly recommend much more collabs

[petitekitteh]

A full album with these two would be pretty damn perfect.

[commissargeko]

Ben's voice goes surprisingly well with starset's musical style. Just how wide is this man's vocal range!?

[Dashin]

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.

[nleader]

When your childhood band and favourite band both finally collab, you become whole again

[FracturedEclipse]

Starset and Breaking Benjamin collaborating on a Downplay cover, distributed by a label run by a member of Three Days Grace. All my favorite bands came together for this one song. And it’s a masterpiece.

[glossykisses]

Teenager me would've lost her mind over this track. 24-year-old me is glad this collab was eventually "manifested". ♥

[karloaceves]

Ok, this masterpiece NEEDS an official video with Dustin and Ben singing together...who else is with me??

[dmitrywinter]

Hey Dustin and Ben, if you are reading this, please don't stop here, go the hell on, your collaboration is something beyond words, you MUST compose more and more songs together! Thumbs up for the guys to see.

[fallen]

Starset fan here since the first album but damn does Ben's voice/screams really make this one stand out. Someone deserves a medal for this collaboration idea.

[benm]

This song is perfect for when you feel depressed and need to remember how to fix yourself back up and not just sit around feeling sorry for yourself, you have to make an effort to turn your life around, because as the song says “I won’t live life in the rain waiting on the sky to change”

[creatingwithkass]

You have no idea what this means to me. Breaking Benjamin has been my favorite band for years, they've gotten me through so much. And Starset was my late best friend's favorite band; he died in 2020 to suicide, but Starset was something he never stopped talking about. He was fascinated by space.
Them collaborating to make music... i can hardly handle it. I needed it.
I know he loves it too.
Thank you.

[MrElijahIV]

It's impossible to hate a Starset song. Every single one of Starset's songs never disappointed me.

[shanebrobst]

Ben's voice has aged like fine wine, love it.

[LittleMissSkelling]

Breaking Benjamin was one of the first rock bands I got into when I was a teenager many many years ago. And I came across Starset when they only had 2 songs . I never thought I’d imagine these two bands coming together but this is amazing!

[Momarciano]

I love that when Dustin and Benjamin are singing together and their band's logo starts to change from one to another

[LnmHive]

The moment we've been all waiting for

[mohamedfawaz]

That's a true masterpiece, i need Chester Bennington to come back to life and sing it with them...RIP Chester.

[Ethan_Coble]

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 YouTube at a lower bit rate, however.
