Gather Escalate Lyrics

Straight Edge cannot be considered the final goal
but in order to achieve the things that count the most, we must use it as a tool.
There is more to it than simply being drug free
it's the clarity of mind to act most effectively against this system we're fighting
It's the first step, it's the key to unlock you from your apathy
but if you stop at that, you're just a waste to me
You've broken your addiction, but now you just sit
as stagnant as a passed out frat-boy - you're no threat!
I know plenty of Christian who don't drink
Do they deserve praise for being revolutionary? NO!
Do you really believe that Straight Edge alone is going to do s___?
If drugs are the reason everyone's so passive, use your sobriety to act!
Do you think it's just about health?
The how does it effect anyone but you?
Now that you're liberated, what are you going to do?
Merely Straight Edge - not enough!
Merely Straight Edge - step it up!
If you think that we have things in common just because we both wear X's on our hands, you're wrong!
We both may abstain from substances, but that is not enough to make a bond.
