Lyrics:

1. Clear Sight

You stand as an icon
for every mistake i’ve made.
Just another failure,
another crack along the blade.
Those that you held close,
have since turned on you.
You could never be real,
your existence is untrue.

Can I not see all the signs?
What is truth and what is lies?
Everyone’s left you behind.
Why can’t you open up your eyes?

Your climbing a ladder
with no end in sight,
and to your disillusions,
let me shed some light.
No one ever cared
and no one ever will.
To your false affirmations,
you’ll never get your fill.

Can I not see all the signs?
What is truth and what is lies?
Everyone’s left you behind.

Open up your eyes.

Open your eyes.

2. Real Talk

Look what the fuck you’ve done.
Look at your fucking mistake.
Now your on the run.
Nowhere to hide, it’s too late.
It’s time to in act justice.
It’s time to tell you the truth.
You never meant a thing to us
and this means nothing to you.

This shouldn’t be the answer,
I have no other choice.
When I find you alone,
you wont get to voice
a lame fucking opinion,
a sorry fucking excuse.
I’ve got you on the run,
I’m coming for you.

I’ve been held back
from this for so long.
When we’re face to face,
who do you think will be strong?
Do you think those you followed
will really have your back,
when I’m on the hunt for you,
mind set on attack.

This shouldn’t be the answer,
I have no other choice.
When I find you alone,
you wont get to voice
a lame fucking opinion,
a sorry fucking excuse.
I’ve got you on the run,
I’m coming for you.

Coming for you.

3. My Reply

Societies expectations
are a doctrine I wont heed.
Excuses for limitations,
indulging in something I don’t need.
I see potential in this,
and to your rules I won’t comply,
and as the power shifts,
allow me to state my reply.

We won’t fall for it,
we’re not fucking blind.

Do you think you’re right
dulling the sense to get by?
You might call it trite,
looking at me and asking why
we call this dedication.
Understand what i’ve said.
This next generation,
standing as straight edge

We wont fall for it,
we’re not fucking blind.

We don’t need it,
and justice will be served.
However we see fit,
you’ll get what you deserve.

4. Distance

I wish I could look you in the eyes.
Construct a facade, a mere disguise,
But I’m turning away from this
And leaving you behind

You’re the reason I can’t face myself,
But now I realize I don’t need your help.

Never aspired to be like you
and I never will.
Went to you looking for results
and even still.

You’re the reason I can’t face myself,
But now I realize I don’t need your help.

Moving forward
Breaking Away
Cast you aside
Shift the blame

5. Next Generation

Face aggression at every turn.
Degenerates will never learn.
Step forward with anticipation.
Standing as Next Generation.

We shift focus to what’s been said
about what it means to be straight edge.
