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
