about

"Do I dare" lots of times

lyrics

Do I dare, try to piece together
So much left unspoken, so much left undone
Do I dare, tell myself the stories
Make my own connections where there may be none?

Do I dare keep myself awake
Let my heart ask questions and let my mind run?

When I look back, will I have clarity
Will I account for these living days of purgatory?


Do I dare look you in the eye
Ask for reassurance in the reasons I've found
Do I dare try to be demanding
Lead the way to understanding of how it could sound

Do I dare risk the disappointment
My fragile world constructed and let you tear it down?

When I look back, will there be regret
Or courage to catch lightning that hasn't struck me yet?

Do I dare tell you how I'm feeling
Would it be too revealing of the secrets I tell?
Do I dare keep it to myself - corrode my mental health
And stay on the carousel?

Or do I dare let go of the thread
Relinquish all the dread and walk out of hell?

Do I dare take the counsel of a friend
Leave the film before the end
Quit the travelling show?

Do I dare do the best for me
Let it rest and let it be
And I'll never know.
Do I dare never to know?
