No Exit 03:12
Love it or leave it I know I fuckin need it They come in waves some stick but most waste away The most extreme are the first to make their escape This isn't some brief thing to me it's a decade of putting an x on my name This has seen me through my best and worst days so I still hold this fucking claim I'm still fucking straight edge No escape no exit this will see me to my last breath
2.
It's not about time spent It's about giving more than you get If you feel that hunger then you must fucking belong here I'm not saying out with the old but certainly in with the new I've had enough of where where you then? I don't give a shit about collecting dues It's not about how long you've been straight edge it's about whether or not you still feel that itch. You feel that pull in your chest dragging you deeper into this.
3.
There are undeniable truths I have learned in my stead first and foremost you cannot trust a cokehead The mind of an addict is a single track all in the pursuit to score some smack I've lost too many people to bottles and pills or a fucking needle too many friends choosing a life chained to a substance I live in a culture of corruption driven by hell bent self medication No one stopping to ask the question "what's the endgame to this decision?" everyone thinks they've got control til an overdose brings their fucking fall
4.
do not hold onto the x for anyone else but yourself if you can't find your own reasons then this isn't something you believe in this isn't a placeholder to fit in somewhere til you get older this is active opposition to a world full of addiction if your conviction is only as strong as the person who made you feel you belong then you weren't up for the dedication I happily accept your resignation this isn't a placeholder to fit in somewhere til you get older this is active opposition to a world full of addiction you claimed the same way you broke laughing it off like it's all a joke breaking or claiming under another's influence is about as weak as it gets you lacked the fucking discipline another piece of shit with no conviction I remain straight edge your break and claim meant exactly the same

All I Need 03:20
No matter where I am I know exactly who I am My identity is sobriety this is just what makes me me I know I've changed a little here and there But my head has and will remain clear This has always meant nothing less than permanent No one has been able to change that It's an inalienable fact Its always been plain to see that this was my destiny This is where I found strength when I was torn down An unstoppable force Lifting my soul more and more A fire inside my mind Responsible for my drive I stand by this like a tree and I dare anybody to try and move me This is all I need to get by There is no changing my mind This is all I need to get by My conviction to the x holds Even when I'm all alone
