Live to Offend

Time to play the cards I was dealt
Time to come out of hiding
No more numbing
It's time to start fighting
Live to offend
No more hiding
No more numbing
Time to start fighting
Live to offend
Means to an end
No more numbing
Start fighting

Drink away all your problems as a way of coping
Instead of sitting and getting to know them
All you'll have left are these aches
And you'll take the cheapest way out just to soothe them
Instead of getting better
You are breaking the bank
Due to a system that is enslaving you
And the substances marketed to free you
Taking the edge off to escape this pain
That we are exposed to daily
Using only to silence my brain
Overtime I found this ritual wasn't for me
Using cause I was bored instead of
Finding something to do
Never gave my life as much meaning as I could have
Never looking for people to be close to
Wasting my time
Drink away your problems as your way of coping
Ignoring all your stressors as a
Way of coping
It's not freeing the mind
It's delaying the inevitable
Work towards your own happiness
And don't turn to the bottle
Never again
Never again
I will never let this happen to me again
This is a means to an end

Not an End in Itself

A means to an end
Not an end in itself
In order to stay true
You need to love yourself
A pledge you take
A pledge you take
Life long commitment
Community focused
On self improvement
This is what going to take
To avoid a life chock full of mistakes
Keeping a clean fucking mind
Can't go back to a life dominated by panic this life should be mine
Shoulda been more quick
To give up this schtick
Destroying my life
And fucking making me sick
It was so fucking debilitating
The fact I kept going back to it is so frustrating
This is what going to take
To avoid a life chock full of mistakes
Keeping a clean fucking mind
Can't go back to a life of panic.
This life should be mine
There are so many years that I have lost
Dry heaving daily knowing my life was fucking gone
Fight or flight engaged for days
Not knowing when it'll stop just wanting it all to fade away
Straight edge
A choice between life or death Bliss or pain
Functioning or misery
Straight edge
My fucking salvation
Once I am free from this
I won't fall prey to my inclination again
A means to an end
Not an end in itself
In order to stay true
You need to love yourself
A pledge you take Life long commitment

Take Control

Take control
Be in charge of your own head
There is no point in living
If every second is filled with dread
I feel pleasure knowing
I will never feel that way again
I'm blessed that this lifestyle
Will allow me to never experience it again
Take control
Take control
Be in charge
Of your mind
Find healthier ways for you to unwind
Take control
Be in charge of your head
There is no point in living
If every second is filled with dread
What's the point
If I can barely function
If I give in to this
Then it was all for nothing
To lack the discipline
Is to give in to self destruction If I give in to this
Then it was all for nothing

Respect
02:46

Keep talking shit
You have nothing
To back your claims up
A pathetic man
Empty life where all you know is hate It must be fucking rough
You're such a know it all
But when you're met with the facts All you get is mad
So share your empty threats
I'll call your bluff
And I'll put you on your ass
I am the one who it affects
Protesting what doesn't concern you.
You need a reality check You keep pushing and preaching what's incorrect
It's time you learned some fucking respect
Learn some fucking respect
Why are you turning your back when you talk all that talk
Fighting words is what you gave and a fight is what you got
You fucked around and now you'll find out
Scared fucking hick shouldn't have run his fucking mouth
Do it
Put your money where your mouth is
You say that my life doesn't matter
You'll see that I'm not playing
I will leave your bones shattered
You think that this is a game
You think you and your people have control
But when push comes shove its
My life over yours
Empty fucking threats
Empty fucking threats is all you'll say or ever know I am the utmost of concern
I'll make you eat your fucking words
