Requesting respect
You don’t think you have to earn it
We have regret
That you put others through it
Perverting a passion
That you once claimed was sacred
We will make sure
You’re no longer related
Taking selfish means
To selfish ends
Your torch is extinguished
No more violent ends
Narcissistic statement
Irony is key
How far must we go
Until you finally see
Slither like a serpent through the masses
Preying on everyone no matter the crowd
You forgot what straight edge is about
Respect for others and respect for yourself
Using your fists or your words
Pounds on a heart made of stone
Weighed down by the world
Didn’t take long for your true colors to show
Your legacy has been clouded by dust
Your mark in our world has led to lust
Your lies to us
And your lies to everyone
Break our hearts
Look what you’ve done
Straight edge is about respect
For yourself and humankind
Perfection doesn’t exist
But for now, stay away
