The Discipline Songtext

von Earth Crisis

Straight edge
The discipline.
The key
To selfliberation is abstinence from the destructive escapism
Of intoxication.
I separate from the poison
A mindlessness I've always abhored.
Usage will only increase the pain, a truth I
Constantly see ignored.
The pollutants that kill the body
Breed apathy within the mind.
The substances that once brought release in the end will always confine.

From drug-clouded lungs and veins
Motviation dissipates.
Imprisoned within addiction,
Abuse increases until death overtakes.
Enslaved by concupiscence, promiscuity leads to despair.
Victims used and abandoned
By liars who professed to care.
Self-exiled from their insanity.
Striving to attain higher levels of purity.
The beauty in life is mine to know.
Amidst the ruin
I survive.

I've got to stay free.

Damage everywhere
Infections at every turn.
Through my refusal to partake
I saved
My-self.

Abstinence was the beginning.
What's important is what's done
With the freedom
Step by step I overcome.
Alone I
Climb
The
Staircase to edification.
