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
