Lyrics:
I've been crow
My feathers a bright shield,
Shaken beneath it all.

I hide away,
Looking out wildly eyeing the forest,
I'm harbored just out of reach

I, well I've seen tomorrow
Uncertain ritual,
Two sides of a silver coin.

My future stays the clearest outline
Water color in mind, reflected in the black glass (reflected in the black glass sky

I dare, I dare, I dare,
To bite back the day
I dare, I dare, I dare,
To revel in the worst of it.
I dare, I dare, I dare,
To bite back the day

(Wo oh oh oh) Wo oh oh oh
(Wo oh oh oh) Wo oh oh oh
(Wo oh oh oh) Wo oh oh oh

Is it worth it to hear what you came for?
Is it worth it to bare all the weight of it?
Will you hesitate or take to the sky now?
Before the truth of it wears you down.

Wo oh oh

I dare, I dare, I dare,
To bite back the day
I dare, I dare, I dare,
To revel in the worst of it. (Revel in the worst)
I dare, I dare, I dare,
To bite back the day.

Knowing the clearing is coming I work to remain calm.
But these trees were my home.
Yeah, these trees were my home.
Yeah, these trees were my home.

Ahh ah ha
Ahh ah ha
Ahh ah ha

Triple Dog Dare was recorded on May 5th, 2019 at Dimension Sounds in Jamaica Plain, MA.  

“Triple Dog Dare” is about the moment when a person becomes aware that they have the power to choose how they react to various events taking place around them. We live in a very turbulent, scary, confusing, and aw-inspiring time; we have endless amounts of information (whether good or bad; true or false) quite literally at our fingertips. With this easy access, we are able to decide whether we will sit idly by and watch the world turn or whether we will stand up and choose to make change where we see fit. Whatever your beliefs, whatever your stances, we urge you to see them through and to be open minded to others’ ideas along the way. Our greatest facets as humans are our abilities to communicate with one another and to work together. Use that.
