Airborne Toxic Event, The - Innocence Lyrics
Well, I lost my innocence today
I could feel her in my bones
My bones, my bones, my bones
My blood, my blood, my blood, my blood
So drained, I felt so bad
Today, today, today
What'd you steal, you steal, you steal, you steal
Won't you say, you say, you say, you say
What you feel, you feel, you feel, you feel
Which is nothing but hollow, thin as air
I could die, I just don't care
And forget happiness, I'm fine
I'll forget everything in time
You know me, how I can't let go
And we're not gods, we're just hacks
All that light follows the cracks
The scars, the siege that breaks
The ugliest scenes, the worst mistakes
And everywhere I see her face
Such a beautiful child, such an awful waste
And there's no innocence like hers
Just emptiness and nerves
And this light from the window of my car
She'll never see it
Oh my God
I was so surprised, it blew up in my face
Lord, I lost my nerve, oh my God
Oh my God
Oh my
God
And I tear, I tear, so hard
And I tear, I tear, so hard
And I beg and scream, "I was wrong"
It's over, she's gone

Airborne Toxic Event, The Innocence Comments
Lyrics:
I wanna disappear
I just sleep all day
These spots on my hands
My skin just like sand
And the air so cold
I shudder and I can't sing
The carpet on my feet
The sweat stains on the sheets
Cough syrup and drugs
Bandages and gauze
The razor's dull
The water, cold against my skin
The radio lull
The static buzzing around like tin
And all these empty plans
The ink stains on my hands
And everyone saves
The best words for the grave
Oh, these weary morning tones
I'll probably save mine too
If heaven's just the long ride home
Tell me it's true
I'll go too
I'll go too
I'll go too
Well, I lost my innocence today
I could feel her in my bones
My bones, my bones, my bones
My blood, my blood, my blood, my blood
And I woke up, tired, scared, and sad
So drained, I felt so bad
Today, today, today
What'd you steal, you steal, you steal, you steal
Won't you say, you say, you say, you say
What you feel, you feel, you feel, you feel
Which is nothing but hollow, thin as air
I could die, I just don't care
And forget happiness, I'm fine
I'll forget everything in time
I swear I didn't know,
You know me, how I can't let go
And we're not gods, we're just hacks
All that light follows the cracks
The scars, the siege that breaks
The ugliest scenes, the worst mistakes
And everywhere I see her face
Such a beautiful child, such an awful waste
And there's no innocence like hers
Just emptiness and nerves
And this light from the window of my car
She'll never see it
Oh my God
I was so surprised, it blew up in my face
Lord, I lost my nerve, oh my God
Oh my God
Oh my
God
And I tear, I tear, so hard
And I tear, I tear, so hard
And I beg and scream, "I was wrong"
It's over, she's gone
Favvvvv
Found the album version of this a decade ago, and loved it immensely. Then found this version a few years back and have to come revisit it every few months. So beautiful. I'm so thankful to be alive to hear it.
does anyone know if there are high quality versions of these? would love to experience them in 2019 hi-fi
I’m going to miss Ana so much 💔😭
Have these guys broken up?
Heard "Sometime Around Midnight" on WBRU radio Providence, RI on Christmas Eve driving our daughter home. Frantically scribbled lyrics to look up later if the DJ didn't say who the band was. Ordered the CD the next day. What an incredibly gifted band. Love them even at age 60!!! Absolutely love the acoustic versions of their songs. Especially the additional lyrics for Innocence. Such a haunting song. Violin, lyrics, everything is just perfection.
WoW! This is pure emotion! I can't stop listening to it! 😍
There band is very verstile....4sure....got any instrument u can think of n there....pretty much...
@sahburke
✌🏽
Innocent my ass ... !!! I knew it back then when it happened ...!!! God already warned me and told me before I came down here ...!!! The angel in the night sky confirmed it ...!!! Tell Scott and Tony and Zac etc... and U as well ... WWx is about to take place soon by the Gods ...!!! My God as well ..!!!
God will call to them if needed ...!!! They will come to him ... God his majesty above all else ...!!!!!
They were amazing at Lollapalooza! Saw them in 2014 ❤️
Favorite song of all time!! I always come back to this version!
How I miss the days of 144p, it was a simpler time
I love it !!!!!
Excellent song!
Come back guys we miss you
This is so gloriously passionately raw and lush at the same time
I am addicted to this band and their music.
I onlyb found you a week ago...Why....???? love your music......x
hmmmmmm#!!!
THIS GUY IS AMAZING
I vote if you hit dislike on a video you should have to explain in detail your reason for disliking it.
almost perfect
30s in: "8 and a half minutes? Ain't nobody got time for that!" 8m in: "No no no, don't be over yet!"
I always thought this song was so amazing. I really loved that it was the last song on the album, as it told a story from beginning to end and was very powerful and put a wrap on a superb album with such closure. There is such an artistic quality to this song.
I was lucky enough to see them play live in Dublin please come back soon
Great music love the passion he showed
Jolley looks like Walker Evans, one of my most favorite photographer! Both unbelievably great artists.
What a song, what a fantastic song, with so much passion! Their acoustic versions will take you away to a special place.
I would love to see them live.
Of all the songs about vehicular manslaughter, this is definitely my favorite.
3rd favorite for me
really cool band
It took me nine years to sit down and listen to The Airborne Toxic Event's self titled album, so I'm just now hearing this tonight. Wow, Ive been missing out.
All I can add is thanks to Clive Anderson for having this band on his Radio 4 show where I first heard them.
Does anyone have any good tablature for this whole song, but specifically the note picking starting at 6:35? I've looked online and can't seem to find any that sound right. I love this so much.
8min an 28seconds of my life completely satisfied. Cheers
Absolute Perfection. Art/Human expression with Divinity poured all over and through it. Embodiment of Soul and purely released for everyone to embrace if they choose. Glorious Masterpiece!!!! Bravo
love you, guys!
Fuck 5 years later and they still make me reminisce on the times I had with the miss during high school :'/ I was a sad kid yo..
I really love these folks' music but I always get sad when I listen to it.
-innocence- by TAE
I woke up. Middle of the night. Had to hear this again...and again...and again... Until my rain of tears turned into the happiness that has always been here inside. A beauty runs through my veins and this will NEVER GET OLD!!!! Thank you. Thank you for reminding me over and over that we have a purpose and you are such a part of it.
emptiness and nerve
Love them.
At 1.46 we see Justin Timberlake playing the violin.
Wow!
TATE sure do have some famous friends.
(If someone replies with, "that's not JT", my reply in advance is, "no shit"!!!)
LennonsCafe Justin Timberlake became a huge video game nerd
They call him Justin Timberquake now.
best song ever
I just love when the drums kick in!
This was the first video I saw by these that started a journey of four albums and seeing them live four times. Amazing band.
I barely hear the vocal, my eyes go the the violinist, and I listen to the music. Thank you.
That's a viola, actually! It's a bigger, mellower version of the violin with a lower range. It also happens to be the instrument I play, which is probably the only reason I'm commenting here :D
It's been too long since we've heard from Airborne - anything going on? Miss you guys!
TheVelosnow their drummer Daren just replied to me on Instagram saying they’ve been working on a new album but no idea of release date yet
How could anyone in good conscience hit the dislike button with this song.
Nick Oppedisano some people just don't get great music ...?
Nick Oppedisano annnnnd for that, you get a like. 😃
this is by far my favorite band, my heart flutters when I hear their music.
It is beautifully done. Especially the acoustic arrangements.
Michelle Jerue not trying to be that guy but seeing your comment from a year ago when i got into this band in like 08 or 09 and just started listening again in 18 really makes me feel old
Still, Michelle? They are definitely under-appreciated. See them, whenever you can...
Is it just me or is their epononymous album actually a concept album of the inception of a serial killer's motivation?
este grupo lo he descubierto gracias a la canción goodbye horses. esta canción es expectacular,maravillosa, lo compartiré con la gente que coconozco, gracias por subir este video
de la misma manera los descubrí. Me ha encantado el grupo.
I can listen to this song everyday just gives me a great feeling
I listen to this at least once a day.
Tru Musicians
This acoustic version is 1000000 times better than the studio release. Has more soul.
frank wells no shit
I actually heard about them before they got their studio deal. All of their acoustic versions were the only versions. What a difference having a studio made to drain the feeling out of their music
I saw them live at Loufest and paid for the VIP ticket so I was basically at the side of the stage for the set. Plus, Anna approached me in the VIP tent before the set because I had the wristband and was amazed I didn't know how they all looked but knew the music so well. I got to meet everyone except Steven. They are amazing. I felt stupid after I talked to Mikel because I hadn't read the reviews saying "poetry you can dance to" and told him "your lyrics remind me of poetry" and he just said okay. I did tell him this was my favorite because it's so complex.
@火村美喜代 that's a lie. I remember when they were doing these videos. I had the album on my ipod for almost a year when they started coming out
I was literally waiting for the next weeks release for the acoustic series.
FUCKING LOVE THIS BAND
Nicely done! More violin always! -> jazzmessenger123
Of all the videos on YouTube that deserve millions of views... this right here is at the top.
Gonna see these guys at Bumbershoot!!!!!!!!! WoooooHoooooo!!!!
That was the best ride ever!! Whew!!!
Eva Gaydon so awesome
daniel kruger ,
Mm!!hymn!
Why am i only discovering this now ?
doesn't matter just be happy you did. Poetry for the soul.
@naruto tobi Right? This is the first song of theirs I ever heard (this video, in fact!) and have been lost ever since. Seen them live 6 times - #7 in Oct.
I am in love with Anna...
I could discover Mikel Jollett kicks kittens in his spare time but then I'd just have to listen to this song again and I'd forgive him.
But I met him and he's just a normal (albeit amazingly smart and talented ) nice guy.
Cats are useless anyways
now that's some passion!~~
great song
Beautiful
This song is beautiful! I love you guys, I can't wait to see you live! Beautiful song, very amazing.
I remember seeing this video in hd. The video quality is horrible for this great version.
i wish the intro was a separate song in itself, its the most beautiful song i have ever ever heard
XxEmmabella13xX same here
:) ... Indeed a beautiful track ... what else you listen to
amo!!!!!!!
I wish I could get this version on itunes
you do know there is mp3 converters...
@Matthew Perkins yeah but it's just not the same without the video where you not only hear the raw emotion, but see it as well
you can, they have an annotation at the beginning of the video
Makes me reminiscent. Old time. My lost family. I miss them. I miss you mom. Nostalgic... Yes bitter and sweet for all of them...love no more..just moments..
This is the best song ever.
True musicians.
Beautiful.
So damn beautiful!
Gah, this is absolutely beautiful!
I missed listening to their music! Love this song!
Awesome band, awesome song, awesome performance... amateur directing of this video though. Damn shame. Listen but don't bother watching.
HERE COME THE FUCKING WATERWORKS!
Ha Ha fucking brilliant
Love this so does my mom Dawn Lianez
My all time favorite song....perfection!
so say i
I had on song in replay after a break up.

Try the Book of Love
Even though it is a sad song it's beautiful
I want the instrumental to play at my wedding so beautiful
Everytime I listen to this version of the song it really gets to me...
