lyrics

verse 1:
we're building palaces
of draining sand
on melting land
though the princess will never live to walk these halls
I'm building a cottage in the woods
as it's already burning down
if only the cause of our downfall didn't hold the crown

pre-chorus:
our elementary school blackboards will never be uncovered
they're buried in smog

chorus:
oh, how can we all be dying if I'm still alive right now?
how can you be so naive, you can't not believe the grave that you're digging yourself
how can we all be dying if I'm still alive right now?
how can you be so naive, you can't not believe the grave that you're digging

verse 2:
all the animals are dead
the sky's turned red
but it's fine, 'cause yesterday it snowed
and today's a tornado
if your neighborhood drowns, then just sell your home
we're paying for the replacement of
mass graves where rainforests used to stand
and yet we congratulate ourselves
for all of the damage we've done to this land

pre-chorus

chorus

bridge:
how are we supposed to live when there's incentive to kill?
our lives are in your hands
we'll never get to live the dream that you did
(we won't forget)
you're turning the heat up but we're the ones sweating
this is our burden to bear and you couldn't care less
this is your mess that we have to clean up
(we won't forget)
and you have the nerve to insist that it doesn't exist
'cause you don't have to face the consequences
you'll just leave us here screaming
screaming for you to do something

how can we all be dying if I'm still alive?
how can you all be dying if I expect you to survive?

chorus
