Lyrics:
I paint us a picture
And we’re doing honest and right
And hang it up where it will be gently kissed by the light
But I’m drawn to distractions
I like where they lead me off to
Where I reach for the reasons
I’m searching for something to do

I’ve reset the filter
There’s little that gets to my head
And it sits where the station just hisses and crackles high end
Still I’ve got this keg and some powder enough to let go
Where the sky starts to fill up with smoke
That’s the way to my home
Now you know

Saw the eyes get dark and the words get hard
Never once been cut but I see scars
We all wear ours on the outside (We all have them we all have these scars)
Where everyone can see (We all have thorns buried under these)
We’re hiding out in plain sight
Buried under these

Scars

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
Instead where the missteps do not only haunt you
They hunt you down
And where those that protect you can no longer rescue
If they cannot be found

Saw the eyes get dark and the words get hard
Never once been cut but I see scars
We all wear ours on the outside (We all have them we all have these scars)
Where everyone can see (We all have thorns buried under these)
We’re hiding out in plain sight buried under these
