Your life slips away, you thought you could keep the secret, but now that you’re brought to the light we can see the scars. You choose substance over blood, and abandon those you love? Face the consequence. Let your life fall apart. While a CEO profits off your hurt. I chose to be pure to control my mind. This X stays with me until the day I die. A product won’t dictate my actions and make my decisions. I won’t participate in drugging my brain to enjoy a single momentary gain. I’ll live different from the world, I will choose to abstain. Straight edge is my choice, and the jury has made theirs. Your verdict is guilty.

Resilience 01:47
What good is blade that breaks on its first defense? What value is a truth thats abandoned at its first charge? Will I peacefully pass onto paradise? Or just rot into this earth. Was I indoctrinated? Or is this a truth I found to be my own. Will I overcome my doubt? Will I find peace? Suffering and frustrated, I question why, but this trial is what makes me alive. As a hammer to the blade I am forged from nothing. Each strike causing pain, I am tested to survive. I won’t compromise my convictions. I see the pain, I see the suffering, and yet, I choose to believe. I am Unbroken.

Did I expect this to end? That it would just go away without a question. To change myself I must break these chains. To change myself is only gain. This is the new chapter of my past mistakes. I turn away from my failures and let the memories fade away. Without pain I won’t learn, but I will rise with integrity. I will rise until there’s nothing left in me. This is the new chapter of my past mistakes. I turn away from my failures and let the memories fade away. Useless is all I hear, but my heart is counting the cost And overcoming this fear. Rid me of myself I wont live with regret.

Blind Guide 01:20
I will never be a slave or force anyone to change. You try and change me, you try to mold me. Manufactured feelings. Manufactured lies. “Failure” after “failure” is what it took for me to see that its ok to be me. I am not a slave. I will take the different path If your prints are on the other. Never a slave.
5.
Heart of Man 01:30
You show me hatred, I'll show you courage. Do you think that it's right to discourage those who don't share your mind? Educate others, but you forget yourself. Don't judge those who you don't know. Do you have what it takes to be a man? Learn how to love, how to sacrifice? Have a mind that doesn't objectify.
