An honorarium is desperate for a name   She seeks and finds herself a worthy candidate   And we don't notice it but she is trembling   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
