The Break - Alice Ripley
They told me that the wiring
Was somehow all misfiring
And screwing up the signals
In my brain
And then they told me chemistry
The juice and not the circuitry
Was mixing up and making me insane
What happens when the burn has healed
But the skin has not regrown
What happens when the cast
At last come off
And then you find the break
Was always in another bone
They tried a million meds and
They strapped to their beds and
They shrugged and told me
That's the way it goes
When finally you hit it
I asked you just what did it
You shrugged and said
That no one really knows
What happens if the medicine
Wasn't really in control
What happens if the cut
The burn the break
Was never in my brain
Or in my blood
But in my soul
What happens if the cut
The burn the break
Was never in my brain
Or in my blood
But in my soul
