Postcards From Mars - Don't Be Afraid (of Being Yourself)

sound of steps
through the ceiling
uncontrolled
but still revealing
don't be afraid
of being yourself

beneath the drawer
clothes are scattered
on the floor
dust has gathered
don't be afraid
of being yourself

no one will uncover
mistakes we made
let's see if we can reach the border
to sneak through, and taste the other side

the young and rich
stuff that we've seen
things of which
we could have been
but don't be afraid
of being yourself

the wishing well
the genie's bottle
you would wish well
the best for others
but don't be afraid
of losing yourself

smoking on the rooftop
memories
how could someone let the pin drop
and doubt someone when it's you they see

i will never understand
but i'd give you my hand
to things you can't do on your own
but there's a time of letting go

i would never let you down
but there's no room for bailing out
the things you can do for yourself
i'll be here to help
