Stain
Hawk and Dove

Half smoked cigarettes and fire escapes
And the dried old paint where lovers have laid
Leave a mark on the city's face
Like love and blood leave permanent stains

Now if you see me and I'm naked
Just don't tell me that I'm shamed
I could eat any fruit, I would take any blame
If the serpent or God would just change my name
To one that leaves a permanent stain

So we lay on the bed sheets, I might laugh, you might cry
But who are we kidding? We both know that we've lied
Like as close as we get we're still empty inside
But we tried and realized that we can't say goodbye

And now I'm standing in the shadows
Of better writers and falling towers
And a love like yours that has refused to disarm
Now I'm posing for a picture because I hope that there is something
That will one day be seen as more, than this never ending blurry nothing
Like drowning in a wishing well
That's filled with ways we want to change ourselves
All this desire and no way to tell which secrets are worth fighting for

Now we've been boiling frogs just to see if it's true
And we watch to make sure that they're like me and you
They just sit there and don't seem to mind what we do
Like the pot that they're in holds more truth than they do

There's red in the sky seeping into the night
If you believe what they tell you, it will all be alright
But the truth is I'm jealous and though I might act polite
I'm not giving up, I'm not finished, not quite

Give me a half smoked cigarette on the fire escape
And you can stain what you want if it means I can stay
If you please, if you love me, don't send me away
And I promise I'll try to make up a stain

While I've been noticing more symptoms everyday that's filled with boredom
So I'll try anything you've got, or maybe all I need is sleep
Because I've heard your innocent dreamland
And since I can't remember when the last time I was I've been there
I'll follow you into the deep end
And we'll go swimming in a wishing well
That's filled with ways we want to change ourselves
Take all of the copper desire to melt a stain
I will give just to you
