Outrun Me - Fear of Men

Young boy, pale skin

Genetic longing

I reject my body

Find it wanting in every way

I’ll drink a toast if you leave me

Dear little mother

With claws

In the morning if you ask me

I’ll understand you more

You were my first school

The one that stopped my mind from leaving

That told me what to believe in

Don’t tell me what to believe in

Outrun Me

The past does not come easily

Outrun Me

The past does not come easily

Deep down I’m shallow

Nothing left to outgrow

Without common decency

I’ve lost my sense of mystery

I’ll be ashamed if you see me

Dear little mother

With claws

In the morning if you ask me

I’ll understand you more

You were my first school

The one who stopped my mind from leaving

That told me what to believe in

Don’t tell me what to believe in

Outrun Me

The past does not come easily

Outrun Me

The past does not come easily

I’ve changed, I’ve changed

I’ve changed, I’ve changed

I’ve changed, I’ve changed

I’ve changed, I’ve changed

Outrun Me

The past does not come easily

Outrun Me

The past does not complete me
