The way I talk and
The way I walk
They're my disguise
They don't betray
What I want to say
Or what's behind my eyes
You don't know what l'm thinking
There's no behaviour linking
My thoughts and my desires
But I had to learn from an early age
To step back and disengage
I didn't want to be afraid
Any more
And by the time I was twenty-three
I had lost my identity
Unable to discern between me
And the me I needed to be
From a heteronormative
Point of view
I could pass as straight
But in the great big scheme
Why was I so keen
To display that state
You don't know what I'm thinking
There's no behaviour linking
My thoughts and my desires
I had to learn from an early age
To step back and disengage
I didn't want to be afraid
Any more
And by the time I was twenty-three
I had lost my identity
Unable to discern between me
And the me I needed to be
You don't know what I'm thinking
There's no behaviour linking
My thoughts and my desires
I had to learn from an early age
To step back and disengage
I didn't want to be afraid
Any more
And by the time I was twenty-three
I had lost my identity
Unable to discern between me
And the me I needed to be
