    SOUNDTRACK: Dare by The Mary Onettes

    May 31, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to The Firm: Covenant by Cora Rose & Lark Taylor

    Dare by The Mary Odettes for a book about a desperate request for help, an awakening of being and a second chance for a connection that began with “I dare you.”

    Those where the darkest hours of them all.
    And I can easily say I had no love.
    I see myself outside it all, but somehow I’m always there.
    Cause all I know is what I bare. 

    Now I dare to think of love.
    And now I dare to think of something that I’m not.
    Now I dare to think of love.
    And now I dare to think of something that I’m not.
    Now I know. Returning here
    ain’t that hard, despite my fear.

    Those where the darkest hours of them all.
    And I can easily say I had no love.
    I see myself outside it all, but somehow I’m always there.
    Cause all I know is what I bare. 

    Now I dare to think of love.
    And now I dare to think of something that I’m not.
    Now I dare to think of love.
    And now I dare to think of something that I’m not.
    Now I know. Returning here
    ain’t that hard, despite my fear. 

    I have no brightest hours to extend for you.
    They were so few they’re not worth mentioning anyway.
    You took me far too seriously.
    Cause all I know is what I fear. 

    Now I dare to think of love.
    And now I dare to think of something that I’m not.
    I can’t get you into that,
    you’re just fading into something that you’re not.
    Now I know. Returning here
    ain’t that hard, despite my fear. 

    I swear I had ideas worth gold (now you know they were never supposed to be told).
    Returning here is my ghost (now you know you were never supposed to be found).
    And if I ever get old with you (it won’t happen unless you let it out).
    So many years in my chest.
    It’s all locked. It’s all locked up in my chest 

    Now I dare to think of love.
    Now I dare to think of something that I’m not.

    Now I dare to make it right for once.
    Now I dare to think of something that I’m not.
    Now I know returning here
    ain’t that hard despite you’re here.
    Now I know returning here
    ain’t that hard despite my fear.
