This Is Not A Trend

Its so much more than just a slogan or a mark drawn on my hand
 Not a market to be exploited or a fashion statement
 Represented by a brand
 It's a feeling and it can't be sold
 And I'm bound by my word
 To stay true to what I know to be real
 Because no one else can tell me what it means to be Straight Edge
 So don't ever try to purchase me or downplay what I feel
 Because this commitment is not a passing phase
 It's for myself that I've made this choice
 It's for life that I embrace the edge
 It comes from deep in my heart
 I live to oppose their intoxication
 My source of inspiration is threatened now by a false embrace
 To be diluted and absorbed without a second chance
 But standing defiant I won't let it end
 So don't ever try to purchase me or downplay what I feel
 Because this commitment is not a passing phase
 Don't plan for me to sell out or expect to pull me down
 These days will turn to years as you wait for us to fall
 Because we will rise!
 This is not a trend
 Times will change but my spirit remains
 Times will change but my feelings won't fade
 Times will change but the spirit remains
 Times will change but the truth is the same
 This is not a trend.
 Go!
