[Verse 1] I heard the sirens in the hallway Blue lights crawling up the wall They came with papers, rings and white coats Said my body owes them all You stood beside them in the doorway Not convinced, but dressed in grey Like a man who lost his own voice To what the others say [Pre-Chorus] And I ran through rooms inside me Every door became a vein Every lock remembered something Every window knew my name [Chorus] Fertility police You won’t take me in my sleep You won’t write laws in my blood You won’t call my fear love Fertility police I am not your legacy I am not a womb on lease I am not your missing piece [Verse 2] There were stairs behind the mirror There were keys beneath the floor There were secret little chambers I had never seen before You were walking with the uniform But your eyes were not their eyes I tried to catch you in the stairwell Tried to wake you from the lie [Pre-Chorus] I said, come back, come back to your own mind Don’t let them speak through you If you love me, see the blue lights And don’t become them too [Chorus] Fertility police You won’t take me in my sleep You won’t write laws in my blood You won’t call my fear love Fertility police I am not your legacy I am not a womb on lease I am not your missing piece [Post-Chorus] Run, run, little house of doors Run through the walls, through the hidden floors Run, run, I am more, I am more Than the child they’re asking for [Bridge] My no is not a locked room For you to break into My no is not a symptom My no is something true My body is not a border For family wars to cross I will not pay with my future For everybody’s loss And if you hear me calling From the room behind your fear Come alone, come unarmed Come back to me, come clear [Final Chorus] Fertility police You won’t take me in my sleep You won’t write laws in my blood You won’t dress control as love No, you won’t call my fear love Fertility police I am not your legacy I am not a womb on lease I am not your missing piece [Outro] There’s a house inside my body There are rooms you’ve never seen There are doors I keep for freedom There are keys that stay with me Run, run, little house of doors I am more, I am more, I am more
