Band-aid for a fracture
One silver astronautShe seeks and finds herself a worthy candidate
And we don't notice it but she istrembling
And we are watching from a distance
The diagnosis wasn't easy but proclaimed
Self-medication as the order of the day
And we don't notice because we aren't listening
And we are keeping a safe distance
Don't ask me to give her a band aid for a fracture
Sometimes it just feels like a band aid for a fractured life
She fills her days and nights with business and now
She finds she cannot sit silently or still
And we don't notice that her cheek is glistening
And we are close but still there's distance
Don't ask me to give her a band aid for a fracture
Sometimes it just feels like a band aid for a fractured life
She's wasting away now
She's wasting away now
On the outside
On the outside
And on the inside
On the inside
Don't ask me to give her a
band aid for a fracture
Sometimes it just feels like a band aid for a fractured life
