Not As Broken

from The Only Answer by Ross W Berman IV

/

lyrics

When that mad and ripping rain keeps pounding at your brain
When the clouds won't turn around, and summer sinks
The darkness won't turn back, but it will surely, swiftly pass
You are simply not as broken as you think

When you ain't gotta friend, and your rope is at an end
When the world feels like it slapped your belly pink
You'll put forth a caring hand to a fellow grain of sand
You are simply not as broken as you think

And maybe I won't feel this way tomorrow
But I will not drown myself in sorrow
When my thoughts have all turned blue,
I will sit back and think of you
and every crazy little thing, that this world has put me through

When you've simply had enough
of this petty thing called love
When your gutter for a mouth won't even sing
Your melody lives on, even when the rhythm's gone
You are simply not as broken as you think

When you got those suffocating blues,
When the only way out is through
When the gossip, that's called news, has you at your brink
There's a method to the mad, and there is laughter in the sad
You are simply not as broken as you think

When that sleeping, creeping sorrow,
slides across your face tomorrow
When your eyelids are too fried to even blink
You will open your eyes wide, even if it makes you cry
Because the world is not as broken as you think
