Afraid Songtext
von Active Minds

Fear of losing face
Fear of being out of place
Fear of the unknown
Fear of being all alone
You build a flimsy wall of pretence
Use ridicule as a defence
You′re proud to be "one of the men"
But scared in case you're "one of them"
Your insecurity manifests itself in joking and laughing
About "poofs" and "queers"
You mustn′t show signs of weakness
In case you're rejected by your peers


But I'm pretty sure that I know the truth
Your absolute hatred is definite proof that you′re afraid
It′s nice to have someone to care
Someone just to be there
And if there's something
That you ought to remember
It′s that feelings aren't controlled by gender
If you think this doesn′t apply to you
Then I think that you're a fool
So why don′t you stop this hate?
Because not one of us is totally "straight"
You're afraid
