Rites of Passage Songtext
von Third Eye Blind

Break up the dots of black eyes
Basements and goodbyes
Now you′re all freaked out
Trying to find out what your life's about

In your soul there′s a broken bone
The soul's so far, so far from home
And you got let down by Occupied
Can't find the ties that bind

I wish I did, I′ve been through this phase
It′s like Bowie says
You pretty young things, you go through ch-ch-ch-ch-changes


Don't take the road they left behind us
Don′t let them find us
Some things 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

I used to think my thoughts were depraved
Too low to be saved
All shadow and shades
So scared for even thinking

Even diamond dogs have their days
It′s like Bowie says
You pretty young things, you go through ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

Don′t take the road they left behind us
Don't, don′t let them find us
Some things you can't come back from
Something′s lost
And something's won
What′s done is done
Move on to another one
Rites of passage (rites of passage)
It's just rites of passage (rites of passage)
Rites of passage (rites of passage)
It's just rites of passage


Can′t stop me coming at you
Last I remembered you could die
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 just rites of passage
Rites of passage
It′s rites of passage

Something you can't come back from (pick up our dots of black eyes)
Something's lost
And something′s won
Move on to another one
Rites of passage (rites of passage)
It′s rites of passage (rites of passage)
It's just rites of paassage (rites of passage)
I wish I could help you through this phase
