Blood

Never thought that I’d be sold out by blood
You love yourself more than anyone
Led by demons disguised as heaven sent
You disappointed and let me down again
No motivation for you to ever change
To be something more than a plague
Emptied bottles into your pit of despair
Nothing got better you were never there
I’ll never be found walking in your steps
Gone my own way now I am straight edge
You got clean but didn’t clear your head
The imperfection you bred won’t let me rest
You always had the mind of an addict
Couldn’t fight what made you sick
I would separate your blood from my veins
I will dig a grave for our family’s name

Dissension

I don’t think that you’ll ever understand
What it means to me to be drug free
No desire to get fucked up like you
I’ve made my choice I’ll see this through
I’m pushing back against everything
In this world that’s given up on me
Promoting an existence of addiction
I will stand in opposition
These illusions to which you subscribe
Distracting from the substance of life
You question if I’ve sacrificed
I look at you still paying the price
Straight edge
How many times will you hit rock bottom
Before you make a different decision
So eager to be like the rest of them
For me I’ll walk this path of dissension
Dissension

Corruption

My disgust can’t be contained
At the sight of life taken in vain
For profit they become corrupt
Don’t care whose life they disrupt
Without a second thought
They let all the world rot
Power gained spreading addiction
It’s time to end this affliction
Abandoned by those meant to serve
Soon they’ll get what they deserve
In defiance I stand here to reject
Everything they wish to project
They tell you how to live your life
You feel like you’ve run out of time
There’s another way for you to proceed
When you get off of your knees
We’ll no longer participate
None of us have to play their games
It’s time to take back what we’ve lost
No longer willing to accept the cost
They kill with their violent indifference
Souls thrown to the gutter to bleed out
Straight edge my form of vengeance
Fuck them and what they’re about

Conflict

As conflicted as I’ve ever been
In a war with myself I can’t win
The weight of life bears down on me
There’s no light at the end that I can see
All the mistakes I’ve made
Feels like I’ll never change
The ones I love left disappointed
By the problems I avoided
Time keeps slipping away
Every struggle feels the same
Few times in my life have I known pride
Can’t keep pace with a broken stride
Anxiety keeping my demons fed
Too many thoughts inside my head
There’s no easing this troubled mind
And no answers that I can find
At the end of the day
For this I won’t recede
At the end of the day
My heart still beats
Straight edge I still believe
Don’t know if I’ll win or lose
But in life we all have to choose
