[Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins]
Blue come over, born a Joneser
The cops pull out the radar
And shoot devious grins
Another day begins

I want someone to know me
Maybe tell me who I am
'Cause I've faced down my demons
And cried out to a god
A god I've never seen
Lights

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
And the world darkens around me
Strange friends all surround me
New ideas in my head start to burn
Dropped out of schools 'cause of things that I never learned

[Post-Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
And the world darkens around me, yeah
World darkens around me, yeah
World darkens around me, yeah

[Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins]
I want you to love me
Like you did before you knew me
And I never thought there'd be any help for somebody like me
A vacancy
Say

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
'Cause the world darkens around me
Strange friends all surround me
New ideas in my head start to burn
Trust no one, that's the one thing that I've learned

[Post-Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
'Cause the world darkens around me, yeah
World darkens around me, yeah

[Outro: Stephan Jenkins]
Bring me the sun 'cause I slide off the moon
Bring me the sun
Slide off the moon
Yeah, you better get home soon
There's no hope for people yeah like you and me
There's no hope for people
Slide off the moon
Bring me the sun 'cause I slide off the moon
Bring me the sun
Slide off the moon

Third Eye Blind from San Francisco Mission District Mostly guitars with other things knocking around Riffs and deep beats Lyrics are expanded in a kinda hip hop way That wrong thing you’re not supposed to say- we say it Black on Black pretty much from the beginning It took us so long to get things this way but it really feels like we are underway now Jacked on coffee we are a fabulously disorganized bunch We seek impact with friends try to surf whenever we can dirty jokes looking out for each other we have eyes and a voice so no surprise when we speak the fuck up We care about shit No sequencers no backing tracks not a DJ group We believe in the gathering power of music Guess you could say we are a motherfucking rock band Born in shadow, made of lions, loud as fuck
