lyrics

nature versus nurture
how can I know what’s true, what’s me, what’s you
mother, maybe father
which words are mine, are you, am I

they crumbled right in front of me
I wasn't ready to see all of their humanity
I was too young to play all of their grown-up games
played a pawn anyways
weren’t you the ones who said
I had to get over it
I did my best, check my progress
I am an adult now
black and white can’t hurt me how
it did back then so back down

weren’t you both the ones who said
I had to get over it
nature versus nurture how can I know what is real, what’s true

mother, father
you are flawed and you can falter
I forgive you
now I have perspective and can see you
I don’t have to hide from myself
from the parts that resemble you
mother and father
just follow suit, forgive each other

they crumbled right in front of me
I wasn't ready to see all of their humanity
I was too young to play all of their grown-up games
played a pawn anyways
weren’t you the ones who said
I had to get over it
I did my best, check my progress
I am an adult now
black and white can’t hurt me how
it did back then so
back down x3

(years spent waiting
just surviving
til I could reach
autonomy) x2
alone, eighteen
angry, twenty
forgiving, I’m twenty-three

they crumbled right in front of me
I wasn't ready to see all of their humanity
I was too young to play all of their grown-up games
played a pawn anyways
weren’t you the ones who said
I had to get over it
I did my best, check my progress
I am an adult now
black and white can’t hurt me how
it did back then so back down

I had to grow up too fast
you know those effects, they last
but I put it in the past
I had to grow up too fast
and if I could do that
you can do this, its all I ask
