Third Eye Blind - Silverlake Neophyte lyrics

Well, I get nervous before my take outside the club in Silverlake And there's no mistaking your perfect practiced innocence But just start talking You can see that I’m Not gonna lie to you And this folk music's fu*king me up, makes me think I should quit Maybe I'm just scared of it Quick hit and a flip of a Zippo Inhale and your eyes squint You point at me with the cigarette fingers Say you’ll find some good sh*t In the ruins But deep down I'm not sold on what we're doing Deep down I think you're seething with ambition Like everyone else around, you'rе on a mission To see Just how many likes that you can get Get your fingеrs wet And have the people watch you rub a freeze Everyone needs to be seen There's no growing in the dark You say it's just a pose Well, what's wrong with a pose? We all invent ourselves As we go So here we go The same old itch The air’s meant to protect myself Took a life on now, and they’re breathing on their own Some strange personality living up on me that I've been trying to ditch I want things to be perfect, so I put it off Maybe progress now will do I’m on the outside, never satisfied Something's always missing, so you convinced yourself that you're beautiful I mean, look at those hands You're all purity With a splash of (?) Oh, I want to be A daring one No more songs about being cozy and bored Don’t sing about the suburbs And how you miss the scent of home An Elliott Smith clone's all you'll be Amidst all this urgency And everyone needs to be seen There's no growing in the dark "It's just a pose" Well, what's wrong with a pose? We all invent ourselves As we go So here we go I'll look for you outside after the show I'll look for you again And I'll go with you, 'cause I kinda love you If I see you again, I think I'm gonna kill you 'Cause we'll keep doing this Waiting around for someone who doesn't want me To want me I've been looking longingly At the scene
