Patched Not Fixed
Perpetual TriageManaging via expediting instead of fixing underlying constraints.
// LYRICS
[Intro] Patched. Not fixed. Again. [Verse 1] The dashboard smiles with a broken jaw The metric passed, but we saw what we saw Bandage tight on a fractured frame Everybody learned the fire by name We closed the ticket, not the wound Moved the blast to another room Root cause waited in the dark Holding matches near the spark [Pre-Chorus] Looks contained Feels complete Still bleeding Underneath [Chorus] Patched, not fixed We worship the queue and call it a win Patched, not fixed Same old failure getting born again Patched, not fixed The siren sleeps but the fuse is lit Patched, not fixed And we know it [Verse 2] Add a checkpoint, add a name Add a meeting to explain the flame Add a field in the tracking tool Call the constraint an attitude We can count the smoke all day Or pull the wire and change the way [Bridge] Perpetual triage Motion wearing scrubs We treat the fever But never drain the flood Don't measure the bandage Measure the healing Don't praise the scramble Change the ceiling [Final Chorus] Patched, not fixed We worship the queue and call it a win Patched, not fixed Same old failure getting born again Patched, not fixed The siren sleeps but the fuse is lit Patched, not fixed And we know it Pull it.
