Jim Vollentine - Stare into the Darkness lyrics

[Verse 1] We drove from coast to coast Looking for all the ghosts of the fathers and patriots We heard about from the past All we found were hollow hearts and half-built homes Empty pockets and dirty stitches poorly sewn Constantly my hands are shaking [Chorus] What's left of these worn-out streets? They crack They break under blistered feet What's left of where we're from? What's left What's left of where we're from? [Verse 2] Cut the country in half with wheels Just to see if she still feels anything Miles and miles of desperate dreams Open skies won't let us sleep And we stood in rain-soaked, soaked soil “Are we proud of where we stand?” “Are we proud of what we've seen?” And we stood in rain-soaked, soaked soil “Are we proud of where we stand?” “Are we proud of what we've seen?” ‘Cause honestly my hands are shaking [Chorus] [Bridge] It's not the reds and blues that make this great It's the color that remains when it all fades to gray It's when we stare into the darkness and not turn away That makes me want to stay [x2] [Chorus] What's left of where we're from? What's left What's left of where we're from? [Outro] Cut the country in half with wheels Just to see if she still feels anything
