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
