"Thief, You've Taken All That Was Me" was written and demoed by [[Rivers Cuomo]] to 8-track in early [[1992]] as part of Cuomo and Pat Wilson's "[[The 50 Song Project|50 Song Project]]". The song was rehearsed in the days following Weezer's formation on [[February 14]], and is known to have been recorded during this period on the [[February 16|16th]]. The song continued to be performed at various Weezer shows throughout the spring, and was one of three songs recorded for the band's first demo in May of 1992. The song was sometimes mislabeled as "'''Silent Dreams'''" during this period. According to Karl Koch's article in Weezine Issue #3, the recording from this demo is the same that appears on Weezer's second demo (The Kitchen Tape). The song is not known to have been performed by Weezer after the summer of 1992.

<poem>Thief, of silent dreams
<poem>Thief of silent dreams
Of golden scenes
With golden scenes(?)
Stole away
You stole away
 
All that was in me
All, it was in me
It wasn't me
It wasn't me
Who slipped away
Who slipped away


Now I stand with skin and bones
And now I stand, with skin and bones
Without a dime to call my own
Without a dime to call my home
Only a voice to tell you
Only a voice to tell you, Thief,
Thief, you've taken all that was me
You've taken all that was me


Rain, It laughed so hard
Rain, you laugh so hard
It cried on me
You cry on me
You rain on me
You rain on me
Cleanse, cleanse my soul
Cleanse, cleanse my soul
The soul to be
My soul to be
The me to be
I need to be(?)


Now I stand with skin and bones
Now I stand with skin and bones
Without a dime to call my own
Without a dime to call my home
Only a voice to scream at you
And now I stand with skin and bones
Without a dime to call my home
Only a voice to scream at you
Only a voice to scream at you


Now I stand with skin and bones
Without a dime to call my own
Only a voice to scream at you
Thief, you've taken all that was me
Thief, you've taken all that was me
Thief, you've taken all that was me
Thief, you've taken all that was me
Thief, you've taken all that was me
You've taken all that was me
You've taken all that was me
You've taken all that was me!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!


Now I stand with skin and bones
And now I stand with skin and bones
Without a dime to call my own
Without a dime to call my home
Only a voice to scream at you
Only a voice to scream at you
Thief, you've taken all that was me
Thief, you've taken all that was me
Thief, you've taken all that was me</poem>
Thief, you've taken all that was me</poem>
