Disguise Doesn'T Change

Disguise doesn’t change
The chemical makeup of a friend
But your frostbitten heart
Refuses to let your blood boil
If you put on a mask and a hat
I will walk right by you
Taking you as a soiled stranger
One of many
Wondering to myself,
Is a dirty dove still a dove
Or is it just a crow?
