From the recording Edge of Oblivion
Story behind the song:
This is one of my older songs and was heavily inspired by a girl I dated in my 20's. She was pretty negative about my love of playing guitar and songwriting. She didn't take my ambitions seriously and tried to make me feel like I was just wasting my time. Needless to say, I dumped her and am so glad I didn't let her get to me because whether or not I ever make a penny off of it, I love taking these ideas in my head and turning them into songs. Wish I could have played this song for her then, but oh well. Writing it was good therapy. Kristine, this one's for you. :)
Oh the rush of something new am I stupid
all those questions never asked I might be stupid
broke the walls and let you in you seemed so different
then pull the knife out of my heart I must be stupid
jammin’ broken in the dark
playin’ all my favorite songs
neighbors bangin’ on the walls
I don’t care I’m not the one
who said I don’t believe in you
and that my dreams are those of fools
you said I’m not a lot to lose
and tried to bury me in you
weren’t deep enough I think you suck
my friends were talkin’ sayin’ man are you that stupid
shook my head and laughed I think I might be stupid
sold me on your plastic smile and I fell so hard
tied the hands that break the fall I must be stupid
(chorus)
so damn love blind
numbing my mind
freakin’ cupid
am I stupid
you said I don’t believe in you
and that my dreams are those of fools
you said I’m not a lot to lose
and tried to bury me in you
but I am stronger than you knew
I was in deep but I’m so through
you will crumble when you do
I won’t be there ‘cause I’ve
had enough of you know I have seen enough
to know I know you suck
