Looking for love in the marketplace
Buying some time with the human race
Paying with hearts and hieroglyphs
Browsing the aisles, anonymous
How does it feel to be petrified?
Watching the post parade pass by
How does it feel to be out of sight?
Losing your place in the pantomime
Please don't deny who you are
Look inside
See what I see in you
Don't be shy
Why do you think you're all alone?
When you are loved by everyone?
Why do you run away and hide?
When you're surrounded on all sides?
Don't be afraid of yourself
Or be ashamed
There’s no need to explain
Or justify
It's easy to be overdrawn
Step outside
Open up to the world
Don't be shy
