Butcher Babies, Judge & Jury - Black Dove Lyrics

Butcher Babies, Judge & Jury Lyrics

"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
