A cover of one of my all time favourite songs.
Recorded with Paul J. Roberts.

Puddle Of Mudd - Blurry (Demo Cover)

Another relationship down the drain
My depressing nature is to blame
It's not like I asked to be this way
But it's not like I expected you to stay
You were my drug but I overdosed
You were my star but I flew too close
Brace myself for the impact
I was a fool to think we could stay in tact

Why can I never make it work?
Is it 'cause I'm such a dork?
Forever falling over myself
Melancholy is my wealth
I wish that you could see
I'm still finding me

"I'm such a waste of space"
Words you love to throw in my face
Exhaustion hides behind my grin
I still hail to your every whim
All efforts to keep you fell short
So this sad song is my retort
Another notch in your bedpost
Your vacant eyes see through me
Like a ghost

I guess it was never gonna work
'Cause you think I'm such a dork
Forever falling over myself
Melancholy is my wealth
I wish that you could see
I'm still finding me

"I'm such a waste of space"
Words you love to throw in my face
"I'm such a waste of space"
I'm still finding me
(x2)

Finding Me

The week has wore me out again
And it's only just begun
Craving the comfort of my quilt
To filter out the world 
Pacing life's complexities
Is stressing me
Depressing how things used to be
So damn easy

I'll waste my days wondering
Where did all my motivation go? 
It just feels so pointless
Walking out that door
To face anyone at all

The world's a scary place
And we crash and burn
In this constant race
We're all in this together
And we still war with each other
And with ourselves
We persist that ignorance is bliss
The lie of happiness

When did it become common practice
To fault myself on a daily basis? 
Dealing and dancing with my demons
In all too similar fashions
It's ironic and tragic to say these words
In a mic when I'm on the stage
Because the second I step down
And touch the ground
We're never on the same page

The world's a scary place
And we crash and burn 
In this constant race
We're all in this together
And we still war with each other
And with ourselves
We persist that ignorance is bliss
The lie of happiness

If ignorance is bliss, are you happy yet? (x4)

Waste Of Space

Happy?

Is there any good in anything
When that's all I ever fall for?
I know it's nothing unique
An outlook that's so bleak
Just let me say my piece
I've got a head full of worry
I'll fill it with Molly
Much rather than feel sorry
For a life that I lead
In place of the one I need

I'm counting the raindrops
They tally my mistakes
The downpour is blinding
But I still see your face
I'm reaching out for sunshine
But I'm lost out at sea
And adrift I drown in memories
Of you and me

I wish I didn't have the anxiety
Of what I'll someday see
You out with somebody else
As you enjoy yourself
Feels like my hearts been
Knocked off the shelf

Why didn't I just stay in bed?
Now I'll think of all
The things I could've said

I'm counting the raindrops
They tally my mistakes
The downpour is blinding
But I still see your face
I'm reaching out for sunshine
But I'm lost out at sea
And adrift I drown in memories
Of you and me

I'm reaching out for sunshine
I'm craving for what once was mine
I'm reaching out for sunshine
But I've taken all my chances
And my time

Is there any good in anything
When that's all I ever fall for?

Sunshine

Can I take back last week?
It still doesn't feel real
This view looks quite bleak
Without you at the wheel
Friend or foe?
I don't know
I don't want you to go
It's such a mess
But I wish you the best
In this parting of ways
But can I contest
With the coming days
Without you there? 
It just doesn't feel fair

How did we go from 

Moving mountains
To moving on?
I'm longing for you
Now you're long gone
I'll hold these words close
For the days that get worse
But it still hurts
It still hurts

Can you take back those words?
I know you said them all in haste
We can move on forwards
And leave behind this bitter state
Rather than sit and waste
All this time feeling sore

How did we go from

Moving mountains
To moving on?
I'm longing for you
Now you're long gone
I'll hold these words close
For the days that get worse
But it still hurts
It still hurts

This pendulum pairing
Is wearing quite thin (x2)

So I'll just plug my ears and keep on screaming:

LALA LAA LAA,
LALA LAA LAA, 
LALA LAA LAA, 
Just plug my ears and keep on screaming (x2)

How did we go from

Moving mountains
To moving on?
I'm longing for you
Now you're long gone
I'll hold these words close
For the days that get worse
But it still hurts
It still hurts

Mountains

I'm smart enough to know
I should be smarter
I know you'll never change
But I get lost in the laughter
It's the cycle we repeat
But it's time to admit defeat
Because I know my worth
You know it hurts
And it's getting worse

You like to spit in my face
Your words cut to the bone
I think I know my place
I'd rather be alone
We might have history
But I can see that I'm through
Because you need me
More than I need you

I'm strong enough to know 
That I'll get through this
You say that you have changed
Which means a week of bliss
It's the cycle that I'll stop
I know I'm everything you're not
Because I know my worth
You know it hurts
And we're getting worse

You like to spit in my face
Your words cut to the bone
I think I know my place
I'd rather be alone
We might have history
But I can see that I'm through
Because you need me
More than I need you

I know my worth
You know it hurts
And you're making things
So much worse

You like to spit in my face
Your words cut to the bone
I think I know my place
I'd rather be alone
We might have history
But I can see that I'm through
Because you need me
More than I need you

More than I need you

Yeah, you need me
More than I'll ever need you
