I dare you to run
To run far from the clutches of the system and the "normality" of this lifeI dare you to breathe
Breathe in the new day and the freedom that is now yoursI dare you to love
Love like no other and no one you've ever known
Give it in full
Give it allI dare you to live
Love this life without the pain and sorrow you've been holding ontoI dare you to let go
Let go of the pain and fear that you've clutched because there is no other feeling
I dare you to let go of the knife you've been holding to cut yourself
I dare you to stop the purge and start to gain
I dare you to spend your money on something other than the meth and weed
Let it all fall at your feet
To shed this agony and the addiction of this pregnant despairI dare you.
