The Discipline Lyrics

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 myself

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.
