Of no use

Recorded between April and July 2004.

I’m on my way again to better days
And yes I’m breaking out
And I’m not faking now
I’m on my way
And if I’m leaving today
Please make these words go away
I’m of no use to you
And if I’m reeling back, flinching
I thought about all the things I should say
But none of them sounded good anyway

Save me when I begin to drift away
When I begin to turn astray
Then I’ll be on your side again
Please hold me
Don’t ever turn your back on me
Don’t ever let me go this way
Don’t ever let me down hard
Right on the ground

I’m of no use today, I just don’t feel ok
And I know that I will never make it
So I rather stake it all
Then slowly burn out
And if I’m leaving today
Please make these words go away
I’m of no use to you
And if I’m reeling back, flinching
When I begin to lose my faith
When I begin to doubt myself
Can you walk on water?
You don’t need to bother

Just save me when I begin to drift away
When I begin to turn astray
Then I’ll be on your side again
Please hold me
Don’t ever turn your back on me
Don’t ever let me go this way
Don’t ever let me down hard
Right on the ground

And I tried to act but I overreacted
And I tried to speak but I spoke only lies
And I know that I’m of no use to you
And I tried to sing but I sang out of tune
And I tried to strum my guitar but I couldn’t find no chords
Well none of them sounded good anyway
