Third Eye Blind - Rites of Passage lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Break up the tons of black guys

Dismiss the goodbyes now that you're all freaked out

Tryna to find out what your life's about

In your soul there's a broken bone

Cause you're so far, so far from home

And you got let down by occupies, can't find the tides abide

I wish I did have been through this phase

(Pre-Chorus)

It's like Bowie says, "you pretty young things"

"You go through ch-ch-ch-changes"

Don't take the world they left behind us

Don't let em find us!

(Chorus)

Something you can't come back from

Something's lost and something's won

What's done is done, move on to another one

It's Rites of Passage

It's just Rites of Passage

(Verse 2)

I used to think my thoughts were depraved

Too low to be saved, I'll shadow on shades

So scared for even thinking

Even time it talks out the days

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Can't stand becoming another you

Last that remained you could have died

Something you can't come back from

Something's lost and something's won

This pain's the same now for everyone

It's rites of passage, it's rites of passage

It's rites of passage, just rites of passage

(Chorus)

(Interlude)

They got no jobs for black guys

Make the bar, slay the ________(?!)

(Guitar solo)

(Whistling)

(Bridge)

First time

First time of being blown

You never know something has touched you

Until you leave it

And get the fear of it never coming back

Would you believe it?
