Three Against Me

[Verse 1] Bloody nose as often as people stub toes I got a fat lip every other week Learned to breathe on the wrong end of a sleeping bag Forced to read the Bible superglued to my hand [Chorus] It's not called abuse It's called sibling rivalry And it's always three against me Three against me [Post-Chorus] No one calls it hate when it's your brothers It's called tough love and accepted by the neighbors It's not called a hate crime It's just what my brothers did to pass the time [Verse 2] The bеatings never stopped and I rеalized There was no place to run, nowhere to hide I'll never forget my thirteenth birthday It was the first time I considered suicide [Chorus] It's not called abuse It's called sibling rivalry And it's always three against me Three against me [Post-Chorus] No one calls it hate when it's your brothers A closed door and a blind eye from my parents It's not called a hate crime It's just what my brothers did to kill— [Verse 3] Then my mother left an envelope on the bed With a one-way ticket and a note that said "There's no room in my house for a queer And you're never welcome back here" A year later when my father had died His obituary online Said he was a loving husband and father of three He tried to change my history Did he think that he could just erase me? You can't erase me You can't erase me
