Age of the Hurricanes

[00:09.68] Origami cranes
[00:11.65] or simple paper planes:
[00:13.99] if we cannot unfold,
[00:15.64] how shall our stories ever be told?
[00:39.50] Fragile little things
[00:41.67] with frosting, gauzy wings.
[00:43.98] We fly to overcome the great divide.
[00:48.68] Lurching in the air,
[00:50.90] searching everywhere
[00:53.13] for answers and a fissured coast to hide.
[00:57.77] The sea is boiling way below.
[01:04.16] Our wings are numb with their inflexible forms.
[01:09.57] How can we resist?
[01:11.61] We pray for a gentle winds to blow.
[01:18.44] We have never been ready for the storm,
[01:23.42] not a storm like this.
[01:29.17] We are all paper planes.
[01:38.41] It's the age of the hurricanes.
[01:45.35] We fly too high
[01:50.08] and we can't take a turn.
[01:56.93] We are all paper planes.
[02:06.19] It's the age of the hurricanes.
[02:12.46] Can't navigate, now it's too late
[02:17.06] for us to learn.
[02:19.41] Instead it's time to crash and burn.
[02:32.58] Thrown into this world.
[02:34.67] Did we take off? Were we hurled？
[02:36.99] We can't remember, nothing to recall.
[02:41.62] Sliding through the skies,
[02:44.10] gliding without cries,
[02:45.92] without words or heritage, until we fall.
[02:50.89] The sea is boiling way below.
[02:57.26] Our wings are numb with their inflexible forms.
[03:02.62] How can we resist?
[03:04.73] We pray for a gentle winds to blow.
[03:11.55] We have never been ready for the storm,
[03:16.50] not a storm like this.
[03:22.21] We are all paper planes.
[03:31.54] It's the age of the hurricanes.
[03:38.40] We fly too high
[03:43.04] and we can't take a turn.
[03:49.92] We are all paper planes.
[03:59.27] It's the age of the hurricanes.
[04:04.21] Can't navigate, now it's too late
[04:10.13] for us to learn.
[04:12.52] Instead it's time to crash and burn.
[04:17.73] We are all paper planes
[04:26.91] in the eye of the hurricane ...
[04:33.75] Have we all accepted our fate?
[04:38.38] Take one last deep breath and wait!
[04:44.10] Wait!
[04:46.58] Wait!
[04:50.08] Now!
[04:52.25] We are all paper planes.
[05:01.54] It's the age of the hurricanes.
[05:08.49] We fly too high
[05:13.14] and we can't take a turn.
[05:19.91] We are all paper planes.
[05:29.29] It's the age of the hurricanes.
[05:35.55] Can't navigate, now it's too late
[05:40.12] for us to learn.
[05:42.52] Instead it's time to crash and burn.
