[Verse 1]
[C]We received our bloody circles
[Am]in t[D]he mai[Em]l[C]
Only see what's really im
[Am]portant [D]when it'[Em]s nailed[C]
As a teen, my Lord and sa
[Am]vior [D]was a mal[Em]e[C]
Tire trucks and six steel string
[Am]s that[D] keep me frail[Em][C]
It's the worst I've ever felt
[Am]when [D]it hai[Em]ls[C]
Broken teeth and bloody [Am]nose but
[D]least [Em]it snowed[C]
Instantly dry, oh,
I cried an[Am]d cu[D]t a line[Em][C]
And my eyebrow acted [Am]like
[D]the boys who [Em]tell
[C]And my teacher told me tha[Am]t
[D]this made [Em]her sad[C]
Had to act just like the others
[D]to get [Em]around[C]
Friday nights alone [Am]in e[D]f fort
make Ma [Em]bored[C]

[Verse 2]
Like, growing up [C]I have always heard
Or like, I was always [Em]hyperaware of
[C]Things that the people around me who were
charged with my care
Or told me, like, be silent or be quiet
Or be [C]ashamed or hide
Or perform a version of myself
that wasn't really me
And so, [Em]I think that through my life I've
[C]always been hyperconscious
And aware [C]of not going [Em]in to spaces
and seeking too much atten[C]tion
Um, because part of survival is, [Am]like,
being able [D]to just fit in
To be seen [Em]as normal and to, like,
quote-unquote belong
be[C]long
But I think that so often in society in order
to belong means [C]that we have to
Like, shrink parts of [D]ourselves
