Just give me a hand <br />Just help me out <br />And the moon is just a <br />Big toenail right now <br />Poking through the sky <br />And the only star I see <br />Is faded and alone <br />And old <br />Nowhere near the bright <br />Nail of God <br />Just give me a hand <br />Just help me out <br />I don't have the answers <br />I ain't as sharp as I thought <br />Just give me a hand <br />I need the secrets <br />And the closest things <br />To a brother I have <br />Says my best aint good enough <br />And I don't trust him <br />And I wonder why <br />Just help me out <br />And the waitress <br />Brings me another cup of coffee <br />Please put something <br />Strong in it this time <br />I beg you. <br />It'll be our little secret <br />And the books lost their meaning <br />And the art sure as hell <br />Is <br />Suffering <br />Now. <br />Just give me a hand <br />And the light I see comes from the faded kitchen bulb <br />And my self respect takes the back seat <br />To the incescent tasks I do <br />I do'em to make everyone else happy. <br />And they're not. <br />Why has the moon <br />Treated that star with such neglect? <br />The only star in the sky <br />And I too am old <br />And I too am faded <br />And I jump through hoops <br />And the brothers <br />And the soul mates <br />And the loves <br />And the collegues <br />And the who's who <br />And the wind bags <br />And the moon that's cresent <br />And the lone star <br />Remind me <br />I'm not good enough. <br />Not even close <br />Just give me a hand <br />Just help me out <br />It's painful down here.<br /><br />matt fromm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/can-t-even-name-her/
