can't get an even break…

if you really need help…
don't waste my time,
if you don't care…""Who the hell are you..
comin' on like,
you're God or somethin'

pukin' out your worries and fears…""Come on Joe,

just let it….

now you've went out for me….""By the way,
Stranger,
I didn't catch your name…."The stranger replied…….
