"Scars" lyrics - ALKALINE TRIO

[Verse 1: Dan Andriano]
I'll paint us a picture where we're doing honest and right
Then hang it up where it will be gently kissed by the light
I'm prone to distractions, I like where they lead me off to
Where I reach for the reasons I'm searching for something to do

[Verse 2: Dan Andriano]
I've reset the filter, there's little that gets to my head
And it sits where the station just hisses and crackles, I end
Still, I've got this keg and some powder
Enough to let go
When the sky starts to fill up with smoke, that's the way to my home
Now you know

[Chorus: Dan Andriano, Matt Skiba, Dan Andriano & Matt Skiba]
So the eyes get dark, and the words get hard
Never once been cut, but I see scars
We all bruise on the outside (We all have them)
Where everyone can see (We all have these scars)
Hiding out in plain sight (We all, we all)
Buried under these scars

[Verse 3: Dan Andriano]
To be so close to perfect is to know it cannot be so
And so far from actually being out here all on our own
It's dead where the missteps do not only haunt you, they hunt you down
And where those that protect you can no longer rescue
And they cannot be found

[Chorus: Dan Andriano, Matt Skiba, Dan Andriano & Matt Skiba]
So the eyes get dark, and the words get hard
Never once been cut, but I see scars
We all bruise on the outside (We all have them)
Where everyone can see (We all have these scars)
Hiding out in plain sight (We all, we all)
Buried under these

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus: Dan Andriano, Matt Skiba, Dan Andriano & Matt Skiba]
So the eyes get dark, and the words get hard
Never once been cut, but I see scars
We all bruise on the outside (We all have them)
Where everyone can see (We all have these scars)
Hiding out in plain sight (We all, we all)
Buried under these
