A Letter to Myself

Imagine yourself by yourself for a change
Imagine yourself shut away
Imagine yourself feeling foolish and cheap
Imagine yourself in tears

Do you want to make this thing a permanent thing?
Do you want to make it real?
Do you want to make this a permanent thing?
Do you want this thing to last?

Imagine yourself in the eyes of the world
A broken selfish shell
Imagine yourself at the end of your tether
How do you get in this mess?

Do you want to make this thing a permanent thing?
Do you want to make it real?
Do you want to make this a permanent thing?
Do you want this thing to last?

Take a sheet of paper
Take an hour or two
Take a look at what you've got
Sign your name, sign your name
Sign your name, sign your name

Do you want to make this thing a permanent thing?
Do you want to make it real?
Do you want to make this a permanent thing?
Do you want this thing to last?
Do you?
