lyrics

[Verse 1]
Surprise, pale white; I’ve​ ​let​ ​you​ ​and​ ​I​ ​down​ ​again
It’s​ ​like​ I’m only human, but humanity’s​ ​my​ ​downside
There must be something​ ​worse​ ​than​ ​this

[Chorus]
So give​ ​me​ ​the​ ​fear​ ​to​ ​fall​ ​in​ ​love​ ​with
Give​ ​me​ ​the​ ​shame​ ​to​ ​understand

[Verse​ ​2]
Oh! You beg for feeling I can
Only​ ​find​ ​at​ ​the​ ​bottom​ ​of​ ​a​ ​bottle
I guess I’m less than normal
Here’s my formal​ ​apology​; ecology of a black hole
Well, don’t expect understanding, I can’t understand myself

[Chorus]
So give​ ​me​ ​the​ ​fear​ ​to​ ​fall​ ​in​ ​love​ ​with
Give​ ​me​ ​the​ ​shame​ ​to​ ​understand

Because the consequence from the discomfort is
The​ ​most​ ​appealing​ ​feeling​ ​I​ ​have​ ​ever​ ​felt​ ​and
I invite​ ​the​ ​pain

[Interlude]
Bring the worst; just bring the worst

[Bridge]
Because the fear I’ve held for this
Is the only thing that’s kept me from moving forward
I’ll forget it for this

The fear I’ve held for this
Is the only thing that’s kept me from moving forward
I’ll forget it for this; this

[Chorus​]
So give​ ​me​ ​the​ ​fear​ ​to​ ​fall​ ​in​ ​love​ ​with
Give​ ​me​ ​the​ ​shame​ ​to​ ​understand

Because the consequence from the discomfort is
The​ ​most​ ​appealing​ ​feeling​ ​I​ ​have​ ​ever​ ​felt​ ​and
I invite​ ​the​ ​pain

about

The Dawn Retreat image

The Dawn Retreat Aledo, Illinois

The Dawn Retreat is the musical equivalent of a superhero team-up, but with more guitars and slightly less spandex. Their vocalist is like the lovechild of Burt McCraken and Michael Jackson. The guitarist's riffs are so catchy, he's still in quarantine. The bassist's grooves are so funky, you'll need a bath. And the drummer's beats are so deadly, he's wanted in three states. ... more
