No Help At All
Navigating Life's Maze: Ron Sexsmith's Tale of Hard Lessons
Lyrics
I've been burning the candle at both ends
I've been pushing myself excessively
And running myself more ragged than a raggedy ann
Exhausting myself more than imaginable
I couldn't read the writing on the wall
I was oblivious to impending issues
Until I hit that wall and that was no help at all
Didn't realize the problem until it was too late
I've been learning all my lessons the hard way
Learning from difficult experiences
And nursing the exit wound from a near fatal mistake
Dealing with the aftermath of a nearly fatal error
You could say it was time for a wake up call
Time for a significant awakening
I never did get that call and there was no help at all
Missed the crucial warning or signal
Won't somebody tell me what these eyes are for
Seeking understanding or purpose
I can't see a light any more, I can't see a light any more
Feeling lost, unable to find guidance or hope
It gets lonesome in that valley, well, you're on your own
Loneliness in a difficult situation
You've got to go it alone, you've got to go it alone, ooh
Realization that sometimes you have to face challenges alone
I've been burning all my bridges and contacts
Destroying relationships and connections
And running the risk of losing all you can never get back
Risking the permanent loss of invaluable things
If I'm shooting myself in the foot, I'll crawl
Willingness to endure self-inflicted harm or failure
I'm willing to take that fall, I'll do it with no help at all
Ready to face consequences without assistance
I never did get that call, man, there was no help at all
Emphasizing the lack of assistance received
There was no help at all, there was no help at all
Reiterating the absence of aid or support
Oh, no help at all
Stressing the absence of help
There was no, no help at all
Highlighting the complete absence of assistance
I've been burning the candle at both ends
Continuing to overexert without aid
No help at all, there was no one around, no help at all
Reiterating the absence of support or assistance
