Congratulations - Nervus

Before you’re born they paint the room

The colour you will prefer when you exist

Physical form has determined you

Your name and who you should grow up to be

On your first breath the expectation rests:

Who you should lie with in bed

And exactly how you’ll dress

But I’ve been scared about the future 'cause you stole my past

I’ve been tearing out the sutures 'cause you stitched me up

I’m scared about the future 'cause you stole my past

I’ve been tearing out the sutures 'cause you stitched me up

They fill your head with guilt and shame

You hear the names they call the ones like you

And you can’t sleep 'cause the ringing in

Your ears has been louder than before

And you won’t fit, no matter how they try

In a box that’s half your size

So give up and let them hate the real you

Scared about the future 'cause you stole my past

I’ve been tearin' out the sutures 'cause

I’m scared about the future 'cause you stole my past

I’m tearing out the sutures 'cause you stitched me up

You stitched us up

You stitched us up

Scared about the future 'cause you stole my past

I’ve been tearin' out the sutures 'cause

I’m scared about the future 'cause you stole my past

I’m tearing out the sutures 'cause you stitched me up

You stitched us up

You stitched us up
