You're afraid of people who pass by
In your life or on the sidewalk across the street
You need them to look at you
And yet you stay there on your guard

Tell yourself
Tell yourself

You write to the faces you've seen
In full color, on the cover of magazines
You tell them, I'm looking at you
Do you see me?
In the fog of my city
Where I'm so cold

Tell yourself
Tell yourself

Send all kinds of messages
To strangers and passing fireflies
Take the side of risk and mistakes
Silence is always an accomplice or deceptive

Tell yourself
Tell yourself

Take 21 x 27 sheets, a pen
A super 8 camera, a recorder
Look inside your dreams
And in the newspapers
All the madness of the world is in your brain

Tell yourself
Tell yourself

Tell yourself
Tell yourself
