Can't Catch a Break

I can’t catch a break

all the people, they want something

but I’m broke, I ain’t got nothing

They all want a piece

a piece of an empty pie shell

that’s been long gone,

eaten away at

no stray crumb to spare

Everybody needs something

and there’s so much I want to give

but there’s never enough

I’m never enough.

I’m not even enough for myself

too dumb to get along alone

no skills set to survive

just a mass of wasteful space

a wreck of stupid emotion

Terrible cycles, so pathetic

And no one’s ever enough

and when they are,

Someone else tells me they’re not

but I don’t need much

Just someone to give me a goddamn break
