Lyrics
Verse 1
Cold
A plastic chair
A heavy heart
The shelter lights flicker on the linoleum
Mama folds her hands
She prays
She waits
The heater hums like a ghost in the drywall
Verse 2
Dust
On a wooden horse
Stillness
The window pane is rattling from the winter wind
Three years since the door slammed
No call
No trace
Just a hollow space where a daughter used to sleep
Chorus
Why do we look away
Tell me
Why do we look away
From the mother in the hallway
From the brother on the pavement
From the children in the static
We see the shadow but we never see the man
Why do we look away
Why do we look away
Verse 3
Rain
On a concrete ledge
Blue lights
Sirens screaming at the corner of the avenue
He was somebody's baby
Bitter
Broken
Faded out before the morning sun could break
Chorus
Why do we look away
Tell me
Why do we look away
From the mother in the hallway
From the brother on the pavement
From the children in the static
We see the shadow but we never see the man
Why do we look away
Why do we look away
Bridge
I see you
I hear you
I feel you
The hungry bellies and the heavy eyes
The names we never say out loud
The lives we trade for quiet pride
Don't turn the page
Don't close your heart
Don't walk past the shivering soul
Chorus
Why do we look away
Tell me
Why do we look away
From the mother in the hallway
From the brother on the pavement
From the children in the static
We see the shadow but we never see the man
Why do we look away
Why do we look away
Outro
Look at them
Just look at them
Don't look away
Please don't look away
We are losing them
One by one
Lost in the gray
Lost in the gray
Don't look away
