about

This is our second and final single before the release of our first, self-titled album in January!
Dawn was the final song written for the album, exploring themes of escaping addiction and monotony while gaining confidence of self-worth.

lyrics

Hate is a memory that tears inside the mind
But faith is so new to me, it always seemed so hard to find.

Shards of conviction cut deep within my head
To free from addiction to things that make me dead

Strong
I wish that I was strong
But there's night before the dawn
And I know it won't be long

Disease and suffering plague the muted town
Monetary entitlement from opinionated clowns

Strong
I wish that I was strong
But there's night before the dawn
And I know it won't be long

I feel my heart begin to beat
I can taste the air I breathe
The shifting sand beneath my feet
Now I know that I am free

Strong
I wish that I was strong
But there's night before the dawn
And I know it won't be long
It's night before the dawn
Now I know that I am strong
It was night before the dawn
It's been with me all along
