Its so much more than just a slogan or a mark drawn on my hand Not a market to be exploited or a fashion statement Represented by a brand It's a feeling and it can't be sold And I'm bound by my word To stay true to what I know to be real Because no one else can tell me what it means to be Straight Edge So don't ever try to purchase me or downplay what I feel Because this commitment is not a passing phase It's for myself that I've made this choice It's for life that I embrace the edge It comes from deep in my heart I live to oppose their intoxication My source of inspiration is threatened now by a false embrace To be diluted and absorbed without a second chance But standing defiant I won't let it end So don't ever try to purchase me or downplay what I feel Because this commitment is not a passing phase Don't plan for me to sell out or expect to pull me down These days will turn to years as you wait for us to fall Because we will rise! This is not a trend Times will change but my spirit remains Times will change but my feelings won't fade Times will change but the spirit remains Times will change but the truth is the same This is not a trend. Go!
