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
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

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
