Queer Thoughts

My mind is playing tricks on me
I'm having thoughts I can't believe
I'm feeling urges I've never felt
And developing desires I can't help (x2)
Conflicts with homophobia and fear
Makes me pray that no one will hear
About my secret and tormented plight
And turn to prejudice to start a fight
Society wants to judge and condemn
My passion and love for other men
My passion for the love of other men
My passion, My love, Other men
My mind is playing tricks on me
I'm having thoughts I can't believe
I'm feeling urges I've never felt
And developing desires I can't help (x2)
So-called "friends" turn out to be homophobes
Like back-stabbing wolves in lavender sheep's clothes
They use me for my beer, money and smokes
And they call me "queer" in their private jokes
No one knows how I feel on the inside
No one wants to know how I feel either
They'd rather keep their fists and minds closed tight
Their ignorance makes hatred easier

My mind is playing tricks on me
I'm having thoughts I can't believe
I'm feeling urges I've never felt
And developing desires I can't help (x2)
I hide my secrets and bear them alone
I hide my feelings like a good straight clone
I forsake the world that I'll never know
Left unexplored and not allowed to grow
Silence links me to a million other
Alienated sisters and brothers
All keeping our secrets until our last breaths
Unable to live and silenced by death
Unable to love,
Silence is death
