Black Dove

Strange and bold

My father told me you're too young to know

This won't end well but I burned that bridge

Lit the sky on fire

Made a home in hell

Cut the dirt much deeper

Just to feel desired

I'm a black dove, say it with your chest

Swan dive off your Sunday best

Call me wrong (call me sick)

Call me poison (take your pick)

Drunk on guilt (drunk on piss)

(I'm a black dove)

Say it with your chest

Taught to kneel, but I learned to bite

Turned every scar into sharp insight

I've danced on glass

I've kissed the blade

You pray for peace

I was never that safe

I'm a black dove, say it with your chest

Swan dive off your Sunday best

Call me wrong (call me sick)

Call me poison (take your pick)

Drunk on guilt (drunk on piss)

I'm a black dove

Say it with your chest

I'm a black dove, say it with your chest (with your chest)

Swan dive off your Sunday best

Call me wrong (call me sick)

Call me poison (take your pick)

Drunk on guilt (drunk on piss)

You said I'd break but I'm still here

Built from screams and bastard fears

You stitched my mouth (I'm a black dove)

With sharpened doubt

Fed me shame then spit me out

I bit the dirt and learned to grin

You can't kill what crawls within

So curse my name (I'm a black dove)

And cut me loose

I wear your blade like a fucking noose
