[Intro] One, two, three, four [Verse 1] There is nothing left No more energy I have used it all Beauty isn’t free [Pre-Chorus 1] Taking tiny breaths of air Just to stay alive Counting all the lives I’ve had This is number nine [Verse 2] I require a drink Just to write these words Soon I will collapse Will my thoughts be heard [Pre-Chorus 2] Time is ticking on the clock Eyes are watching me Can I make it back to shore Will I die at sea [Chorus] Oh Please take me home I’m so alone [Verse 3] Vulture in the air Circling around Crying for my death I can hear the sound [Pre-Chorus 3] Vulture fly away from me Even though you are My lone friend and confidante Family from afar [Chorus] Oh Please take me home I’m so alone Alone [Pre-Chorus 3] Vulture fly away from me Even though you are My lone friend and confidante Family from afar [Chorus] Oh Please take me home I’m so alone Oh Please take me home I’m so alone Please take me home I’m so alone Please take me home I’m so alone Alone
This is probably my favorite Rivers / Weezer demo ever. This really gives a lot of insight to Rivers at the time, he put on a persona during Maladroit, but behind the scenes he was hurting with no real way to express himself, fearing a Pinkerton disaster again.
I love the feeling from that Weezer era, I just made a fan-made album almost solely based on these themes. Listening to demos from post-Pinkerton to Make Believe is just magical.
It’s tragic how many masterful demos never made it to an official release hopefully this one sees an official release along with the other demos from this era
[Intro]
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
There is nothing left
No more energy
I have used it all
Beauty isn’t free
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Taking tiny breaths of air
Just to stay alive
Counting all the lives I’ve had
This is number nine
[Verse 2]
I require a drink
Just to write these words
Soon I will collapse
Will my thoughts be heard
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Time is ticking on the clock
Eyes are watching me
Can I make it back to shore
Will I die at sea
[Chorus]
Oh
Please take me home
I’m so alone
[Verse 3]
Vulture in the air
Circling around
Crying for my death
I can hear the sound
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Vulture fly away from me
Even though you are
My lone friend and confidante
Family from afar
[Chorus]
Oh
Please take me home
I’m so alone
Alone
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Vulture fly away from me
Even though you are
My lone friend and confidante
Family from afar
[Chorus]
Oh
Please take me home
I’m so alone
Oh
Please take me home
I’m so alone
Please take me home
I’m so alone
Please take me home
I’m so alone
Alone
Also chords are E C#m A B

Maladroit really is just him crying out wanting to be creative but he can't let himself because he didn't want another pinkerton
i listen to more rivers demos than weezer
I always think ive heard every rivers demo *really* worth hearing and then find another. Wow.

Sad Weezer is the BEST Weezer
this is absolutely heartbreaking wow
I’ve never heard this before. It’s amazing
I really like how sub par his singing is here, really sets in the tone of the song
Lyrics are great. This is "amazing rivers".. really powerful. He really rides the beat. The flow ...
one day we'll make it
this has a similar chord progression to Little Songs/We Go Together. Interesting.
this is amazing but i forgot this was a weezer song and thought gary come home would play
this the saddest thing i ever heard....
A top tier song
Kinda reminds me of "I'm so Tired" by Fugazi.
But it feels less drained and more painful.
i can't find the lyrrics
