[Verse]
A million faces staring blank
Tired eyes on the edge of the tank
Dreams sold cheap in a plastic bag
Flags on fire but they still wave the flag
Voices lost in the static hum
Speak your truth but the world plays dumb
Broken mirrors on the bathroom wall
Who will rise when the rest just crawl?
[Chorus]
The American people—where did they go?
Snowflakes melting in the afterglow
God's grace whispers but it's lost in the noise
Searching for hope in the hands of boys
[Verse 2]
Sidewalks cracked like a brittle heart
Neighborhood ghosts where the riots start
Empty bottles
Another cheap thrill
The dream is dead but we’re chasing it still
Preachers shouting through a TV screen
Selling salvation to the broken and mean
The truth gets drowned in the holy war
What are we even fighting for?
[Chorus]
The American people—where did they go?
Snowflakes melting in the afterglow
God's grace whispers but it's lost in the noise
Searching for hope in the hands of boys
