Big Scar

[Verse 1]
They went from That's So Raven straight into Pavement
They started with the best-ofs and got some personal favorites
Hugged up to that Crass crew, then slid into The Replacements
The suburbs aren't the same game, I remember when we cased them

[Chorus]
Staring into that dark abyss
Seeing hope, but avoiding it
Maybe you heard me or maybe you didn't
Either way, this is diminished
And either way, it's gonna be finished

[Verse 2]
Now we're getting OCD with them drama queens
They want to talk about you and me and me and me
Swollen out in the summary, yeah, it's not all that funny
But there's hope in the joke when all you do is dream

[Chorus]
Leaning into that dark abyss
Seeing hope, but avoiding it
Maybe you heard me or maybe you didn't
Either way, this is diminished
And either way, it's gonna finish

[Verse 3]
Now we're turning old wounds into pretty scars
While all the kids around here are kick flipping to Big Star
All the kids around here, they want to borrow my car
It ain't easy being me, but it ain't easy being young anymore
If you can back up the trailer, you can be in the band
It's a skill set that every drummer should have
Only leaning slightly on your backup plan
With your Black Flag shirt under your day job drab

[Outro]
Hanging onto that dark abyss
Needing hope, but avoiding it
Needing hope, but destroying it
