double dare

bauhaus

i dare you to be real

to touch

to touch a flickering flame

the pangs

the pangs of dark delight

don't cower

don't cower in night fright

don't back away just yet

from destinations set

i dare you to be proud

to dare to shout aloud

for convictions that you feel

like sound from bells to peal

i dare you to despise

bureaucracy and all its lies

and avoid

and avoid their stare

they never

they never dare to dare

i dare

i dare

i dare you you
