Enough 01:11
Thought you understand at least some crucial points About what to reject who better not to join I tried to talk to you time and time again but when push comes to shove you're no different, only one of them This time I fucking had enough No more sweet talk Let the gloves come off Disgusted how you compromise I draw the line for all to see Goodbye, my friend; I'm through with you Hello my latest enemy
2.
Take a look at yourself Your identity off the shelf Your so-called life, your so-called friends exchangeable until the end Your superficial urge to stand out Can’t hide from me what you enshroud Fucking shallow, full of shit I hate to see you get away with it You showed me what I truly strife to be The less I am like you, I feel like me I will bring you down You fail to hide your true colors from me and to conceal your fucking mediocrity The worst I know rots behind your facade I will always be here to show up your fraud Walk Away, straight fucking edge Music against the likes of you
3.
Don't watch your back Don't you worry You’ll see my face You’ll hear my voice You’ll feel my rage when we settle the score Some things in life can not be set right Excuses rejected, redemption denied Some things in life can never be set right

The Defiant 01:22
Defend your life against this reality A label, a barcode on every fucking thing I see Forced to your knees, scared to your fucking bone A pawn, a robot, no more than another clone Before you forget and live in regret. Before you're losing track - demand your life back! All caught up in work and prescribed pastime dullness Exhausted, weakened, succumbing to slow regress Forced to your knees, scared to your bone A pawn, a robot, no more than another clone Before you forget and live in regret Before you're losing track - demand your life back! I want my life back!
5.
Looking for truth in mass consent Looking for strength in marching hordes A desperate plea for community I still prefer to live free Strength comes from within And truth from far beyond Fuck Your Numbers, they don't mean shit to me You are the plenty and I'm still me And I'm still free
6.
Remnants 01:10
One might think we've fucking changed but in our hearts we're still the same Despite the curse of growing up rest assured we'll never stop The washed-up youth, the discontent the crucial few who'll never bend The dissidents, the honor-bound who speak up and will not back down The few who choose to walk away who found this place and are here to stay The positive, the straight edge kid - we will never quit One might think we've fucking changed but in our hearts we'll always be the same

My Oath 01:29
You love the masses and want to fit in You trade in clear thoughts for that stupid grin No trust in yourself - 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, trust this: 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, it makes me stun It’s how I could never be I will never share the apathy that dominates your life And I will never need to drown my brain just to have some fun I will never live in sedation and addiction Right I will never give up on straight edge
8.
Alive 00:49
The world out there is so hard to bear The fight for change seems so unfair Too many people are too far gone But here's what gives me the strength to carry on One board, four wheels and my friends are enough Clear thoughts, bruised knees and the music I love Three cords, two steps and a hundred stage-dives Out of step with the world and I feel alive. Alive! The world out there seems too far gone but I still find the strength to carry on
9.
Walk Away 01:45
I turned my back on everything that held me down Said goodbye to being pushed around Bowed out of the game we’re forced to play I 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 You 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
10.
Y.A.R. 01:16
Let us give up all restraint Let go all our doubts and then raise our fists, fall in line Stop to think, start to shout again We are on the move again This time we'll set it right No time to rethink, let worry set aside Let go, let go, reservations, hesitations and inner quarrels mustn't show This time everything is clear The silence of the critics No dissent to fear Let go, let go, of the voices deep inside: We can’t be wrong again It's time for action, it's time to fight Team up! Unite! Don't ask twice! Yet another revolution is on the verge. Don’t you hold back: We can't be wrong again

Resilience 01:36
Your path, your plight, so far from mine Your heart so warm and truly benign Your world on fire, your mind at peace Truly convinced all pain will cease No matter what life hurls at you Still you’re standing tall Still you are standing tall A voice of reason and empathy Righteous and honest, inspiring to me A beacon of hope in desperate times To hold on, to focus on making the climb No matter what they throw at you Still you make it through the day You taught me what it means To live, to learn, to rise above To fight, to lose, to get back up To live, to learn, to rise above To fight, to lose, to keep pushing on
