Young and free, something you'll never be
A childhood's end, it's lunacy
Pure dictation, they don't listen
And you're just waiting for what you're missing

Welcome to your nightmare
you just can't walk away
It's time for you, to choose, your fate
You just can't let it lay
Welcome to your nightmare
Your whole life's on the way,
Today
You're no good, misunderstood, A.I.R.
All their hopes and visions, of what they want you to be
Crucial times, made up minds, A.I.R.
So high and mighty, though much too blind to see

Who are you gonna live your life for?
Conformity will trap you like a locked door
Independence means owning your decisions
Authority will put your soul in prison

Welcome to your nightmare
you just can't walk away
It's time for you, to choose, your fate
You just can't let it lay
Welcome to your nightmare
Your whole life's on the way,
Today
You're no good, misunderstood, A.I.R.
All their hopes and visions, of what they want you to be
Crucial times, made up minds, A.I.R.
So high and mighty, though much too blind to see

Fight, or go insane, there's no one else to blame
Stop, their influence, you can't give them a chance
Break, right through the wall, that separates us all
Start, your second life, without their hands in sight

You got your pride, you got your visions
Don't subside, don't ever give in
Don't compromise just keep on grinning
The games they play you just keep on winning

Keep on winning
Keep on winning
Keep on winning

An unspoken witness never
reached the eyes of the day
Yet the moon was the one to hear

How she prayed forgiveness
for each shattered little
word she made to weep

Why these woods still echo,
how the whispering tangles on
When the moon was the only one here

How I pray to loose my burden
in this place where
I love you dead

And you are the air,
the cold beneath this whispering wind,
carried within

You are the air, the warmth
in sorrow I took in when I could
feel the end

The air…
the air I breath was gift from you.

Welcome sulphur dioxide,
Hello carbon monoxide
The air, the air is everywhere
Breathe deep, while you sleep, breathe deep

Bless you alcohol bloodstream,
Save me nicotine lungsteen
Incense, incense is in the air
Breathe deep, while you sleep, breathe deep

Cataclysmic, cataplasm
Fall out atomic orgasm
Vapor and fume at the stone of my tomb
Breathe like a solemn perfume
Eating at the stone of my tomb

Welcome sulphur dioxide,
Hello carbon monoxide
The air, the air is everywhere
Breathe deep, while you sleep, breathe deep

1. A.I.R.

Welcome! sulphur dioxide
Hello! carbon monoxide
The air, the air
Is everywhere

Breathe deep, while you sleep
Breathe deep

Bless you, alcohol bloodstream
Save me, nicotine lung steam

Incense, incense
Is in the air
Breath deep, while you sleep
Breath deep

Cataclysmic ectoplasm
Fallout atomic orgasm
Vapor and fume
At the stone of my tomb
Breathing like a sullen perfume
Eating at the stone of my tomb

Welcome! sulphur dioxide
Hello! carbon monoxide
The air, the air
Is everywhere

Breathe deep, while you sleep
Breathe deep

Deep, deep, deep, cough cough

Saw a silhouette across a fluorescent
Floating overhead, undoing his helmet
Through the murky beams and blue-green sea life
I saw him spinnin' towards the moonlight

I pull him in, he wasn't breathin'
His eyes were wide and I saw two of me there
There's an ugly buzz that hovers just above the quiet
Found a way to make it silent

I'm comin' up for air
I'm comin' up for air
Air
Air

They hold my hand and ask me to pull through
A voice I know says Dear, he probably can't hear you...

Comin' up for air
Comin' up for air
Comin' up for air

Apathy falls in the ocean
at least we went down fighting
in the bottom of the ocean
the scenery can fail calm
upto this world we`ve been riding fine
yeah
but the paper wall it`s pulling me blind
yeah
and you remember the days?
did you forget those days?
what would the oddsmakers say?
would the oddsmakers say?

We're drinking on jet streams
row tow
ideas won't happen
laid out on benches
row tow
sink for this reason

If you find these, these motives
you'll please report your progress
to the captain, our captain
so he can mark the atlas
never considered this a prize yeah
until then we`ve put some pride yeah

We're drinking on jet streams
row tow
ideas won't happen
laid out on benches
row tow
sink well for this reason

and remember those days?
forget those days,
and you remember the days?
did you forget those days?
what would the oddsmakers say?
would the oddsmakers say?

We're drinking on jet streams
row tow
ideas won't happen
laid out on benches
row tow
sink for this reason

(you wanted to be weightless you didn't want to wait)

we are the sad sad people
those scared scared scared scared eyes
insane unseen an island
inside inside out minds
unbeing dead isn't being alive

what's wrong with the air, what's wrong with the air
what's wrong with the air, what's wrong with the air?

the red line when the sky ends
the pretty ugly lives
can't take your car to heaven
can't take god for a drive
unbeing dead isn't being alive

what's wrong with the air,
what's wrong with the air, what's wrong with the air, what's wrong with the air?
what's wrong with the air
what's wrong with the sky
what's wrong with your eyes?
what's wrong with the air
what's wrong with the sky?

around you, around you, around you, around you,

in mourning for the morning,
you laughed yourself into the afternoon
you thought was endless
you wanted to be weightless
unbeing dead isn't being alive

what's wrong with the air,
what's wrong with the air,
what's wrong with the air,
what's wrong with the air?
what's wrong with the air
what's wrong with the sky
what's wrong with your eyes?
what's wrong with the air
what's wrong with the sky?

around you, around you, around you,
around you, around you, around you

around you, around you,
you wanted to be weightless you didn't want to wait
you wanted to be weightless you didn't want to wait
you wanted to be brainless you didn't want to think
you wanted to be shameless you didn't want to want to

no head, no heart, no hurry, no hate, no fun, no muss, no city, no state,
no card, no kid, no call, no kiss, no book, no bread, no hit, no miss,
no tears, no laugh, no love, no sin, no hand to put my handshake in
no header, no footer, no girl, no boy, no good, no better, no touch, no toy

there is only air
where i used to care

Welcome! sulphur dioxide
Hello! carbon monoxide
The air, the air
Is everywhere

Breath deep, while you sleep
Breath deep

Bless you, alcohol bloodstream
Save me, nicotine lung steam

Incense, incense
Is in the air
Breath deep, while you sleep
Breath deep

Cataclysmic ectoplasm
Fallout atomic orgasm
Vapor and fume
At the stone of my tomb
Breathing like a sullen perfume
Eating at the stone of my tomb

Welcome! sulphur dioxide
Hello! carbon monoxide
The air, the air
Is everywhere

Breath deep, while you sleep
Breath deep

Deep, deep, deep, cough cough

Put your hands up in the air (air)
Wave em around like you just don't care
Just put em in the air (air)
Wave em around like you just don't care

Say yeah, yeah
DJ spin his record right here

Say yeah, yeah
Now watch me switch it up

I am not an earthling
I'm from another planet
Not even a martian
They don't know what to call it
Maybe i should travel down to earth, take a stage
rock the crowd for about 100 days.

In a whole different country
In a whole new land
????
Wakil you feel familier, you probably agree
I don't need swagger cuz swagger needs me

Now hands in the air right now
Get em high in the sky
Never ever let em ever come down (down)
Now if you feel this say
Yea, yeah
cuz i got what you need right here.

Put your hands up in the air (air)
Wave em around like you just don't care
Just put em in the air (air)
Wave em around like you just don't care
Now watch me switch it up

Not only am i an MC
But I'm a microphone controller
Flip my style up on ya
Just watch how i cross over
Call me Ayatollah
And i like my woman, shaped like a mmm
Kinda like a coka-cola bottle
Cuz Yae said to get the girls who ain't on TV
cuz they got more ass than the models
You'll never catch me off the track like a nappy wee? (nop)
Cuz Nelly told me i was Kansas City's masterpiece.
Peace, your time is up like Jadakiss
They hate i got more will power than Jada's kids.
I know you like it, say
yeah, yea
cuz i got what you need right here.

Put your hands up in the air (air)
Wave em around like you just don't care
Just put em in the air (air)
Wave em around like you just don't care
Now watch me switch it up

Star, I'm a star yea
You know why?
cuz all of you are
and you shine on me
So keep shinin on me
and word of mouth is
Hip Hop died
Little do they know that it just got signed?
While everybody else tryina catch up

Casey stand up(Up)x6

Put your hands up in the air (air)
Wave em around like you just don't care
Just put em in the air (air)
Wave em around like you just don't care
Now watch me switch it up

I pull him in, he wasn't breathin'
His eyes were wide and I saw two of me there
There's an ugly buzz that hovers just above the quiet
Found a way to make it silent
I'm comin' up for air (2x)

They hold my hand and ask me to pull through
A voice I know says Dear, he probably can't hear you...
Comin' up for air (3x)

Air...Air...Air...Air

Hit me in the face
I run faster
Faster Faster Faster Faster
Faster into the air
(I say to myself)
What is happening to my skin?
Where is that protection that I needed?
Air can hurt you too
Air can hurt you too
Some people say not to worry about the air
Some people never had experience with...

Air...Air...Air...Air

It can break your heart
So remember
remember remember remember remember
when the weather gets rough
(You'll say to yourself)
What is happening to my skin?
Where is that protection that I needed?
Air can hurt you too
Air can hurt you too
Some people say not to worry about the air

Young and free, something you'll never be
A childhood's end, it's lunacy
Pure dictation, they don't listen
And you're just waiting for what you're missing

Welcome to your nightmare
You just can't walk away
It's time for you, to choose, your fate
You just can't let it lay
Welcome to your nightmare
Your whole life's on the way,
Today

You're no good, misunderstood, a.i.r.
All their hopes and visions, of what they want you to be
Crucial times, made up minds, a.i.r.
So high and mighty, though much too blind to see

Who are you gonna live your life for?
Conformity will trap you like a locked door
Independence means owning your decisions
Authority will put your soul in prison

Welcome to your nightmare
You just can't walk away
It's time for you, to choose, your fate
You just can't let it lay
Welcome to your nightmare
Your whole life's on the way,

Fight, or go insane, there's no one else to blame
Stop, their influence, you can't give them a chance
Break, right through the wall, that separates us all
Start, your second life, without their hands in sight

You got your pride, you got your visions
Don't subside, don't ever give in
Don't compromise just keep on grinning
The games they play you just keep on winning
Keep on winning
Keep on winning
Keep on winning
A.i.r.

The days are heavy the hours a lot to bear
in Europe there’s fresh air
or is it long past gone
For the air is something everybody needs
but no one ever cared
for me the way you did

Give me the air, give me the wings
To fly away…

The war has started two thousand years ago
and Jesus still gets nailed
to the cross that everyone builds…

This cross is the field of your sickness
his boredom
her fears
and my sins
and our last chance
To Not Fear
Do Not Fear…
