Congratulations Lyrics by Nervus

Everything Dies

2018

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
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
