To The Core

2012 saw nothing’s changed, the same old shit got rearranged
the core grows cold, the flame dies out as we forget what to care about
generic fucks know how to dress, party it up, try to impress
generic bands know how to sound and what phrase to use to become renowned
and this is not how it was meant to be
did you give up? Are we to blind to see?
well I still care, I’m not alone, let their fucking reign be overthrown
denounce what’s wrong, treasure what’s right, no compromise, just black and white:
an open scene for the casted-out, a refuge for the few who doubt
a shelter from society and foremost a place to feel free
let’s get rid of the scenester who is just here to play
and all the motherfucking bands who’ve got nothing to say
you hate our politics, still you dance on our floor?
-party somewhere else, I’ll show you the door.

Walk Away

I turned my back on everything that held me down
and said goodbye to being pushed around
bowed out of the game we’re forced to play
clenched my fist and chose to walk away
there’s the flock and there’s the hive
they suck you in – to rule your life
but there’s one path without a guide
for you to tread if you decide
I choose to walk away
you played your part to fit in the best
knew where to stand, what to think, how to dress
no matter how confident some doubt would remain
a feeling there might be much more to gain
afraid to stand out, to feel all alone
to burn down that bridge and be on your own
take all your courage- this is the day
have faith in yourself and choose to walk away
no compliance, no compromise, no looking back
turned my back on your world and its lies
stand tall, stand alone, state with pride – I chose to walk away

My Oath

you love the masses and want to fit in
you trade in clear thoughts for that stupid grin
no trust in your self the greatest sin for me
you claim you control it but that’s a lie
I can see it controls you every time you’re high
you doubt and regret but never resist
and face your hardest trail
I made this decision to always be myself
a lifetime commitment to trust in who I am
an Oath I stand for even if it isolates me
I’ll never be like you, the edge has set me free.
you shut down your brain for what you call fun
becoming a better automaton
I’ve seen it so often, still it makes me stun
it’s how I could never be
I would never share the apathy that dominates your life
and I will never live in sedation and addiction
I will never need to drown my brain just to have some fund

Delusions
01:17
|
|

|
it’s no way to a better life or a guide through a strait
it’s just your wish to be chained, be bossed around and call it fate.
a fragile construct made of lies, needed by a weak but willing mind
an easy but deceitful hope to lift you up and keep you blind
a 1000 years they dictated what’s right
and made billions suffer for their god’s childish pride
I’ll never reconcile with the things that oppress me
and I despise all false harmony
who could ever rely on the one you want us to trust,
I’m not the sucker that you take me for
predictions proven wrong, explanations fallen to dust
and I won’t hear this shit no more.

Keep It Alive
01:23
|
|
||
|
not been in this long enough
to know what straight edge meant years ago
well today this means all and everything to me
a fire that burns and I will let it grow
open minds at weekly shows
values that last, suckers come and go
a scene just like a second family
with kids all joined in positivity
I won’t look back in tears ‘cause this is just about to start
I know it’s in my heart and I will try to keep it alive
