[Verse]
How do you breathe when the air is fire
Do you feel the cracks in the earth's desire
Can you taste the smoke in the melting ice
Or does it all just feel so quiet
[Prechorus]
Do you hear the hunger
Do you hear it cry
[Chorus]
How can you stand and watch
How can you close your eyes
While the world falls down
And the rivers dry
How can you stand and watch
Tell me
Why
[Verse 2]
Does the soil scream beneath your feet
Do you see the dead in the empty streets
Is it just a story
A fleeting thought
Or do you wonder what you've wrought
[Prechorus]
Do you hear the anger
Do you hear it sigh
[Chorus]
How can you stand and watch
How can you turn away
While the skies collapse
And the oceans fray
How can you stand and watch
Every day
