Lyrics

Fear of Men

I am so distracted
From the path i could be on
One with hearts wide open
No fear of a scary man behind the door

Cause i still have pain
I'm stuck in old ways
The ways that i'm thinking
Keeps me against brick walls

He's staring back at me
Snarling back at me

Here on my two feet
I'm just trying to beat
All the fears that hold me back, me back, me back
Here on my two feet
I'm just trying to beat
All the fears that hold me back, me back, me back

The fear of men
Don't wanna fear them
The fear of men

Wake up, wake up
I'm doing all the labour
All your heavy lifting
Get your shit together
We're getting really tired
Of all your excuses

Cause we still have pain
You're stuck in old ways
The ways that you're thinking
Keeps us against brick walls

He's staring back at me
Snarling back at me

Here on my two feet
I'm just trying to beat
All the fears that hold me back, me back, me back
Here on my two feet
I'm just trying to beat
All the fears that hold me back, me back, me back

Here on my two feet
I'm just trying to beat
All the fears that hold me back, me back, me back
Here on my two feet
I'm just trying to beat
All the fears that hold me back, me back, me back

Don't wanna fear them
The fear of men
I don't wanna fear them
