Straight edge-AG

Verse 1

Raised on borrowed anger

Nights spent alone

Fists full of faults, one by one

Crawling through the clutter, crawling through the haze

Mother’s eyes hollow, her hope gave way

I saw broken bones and bitter blame

Spilled black bottles, shattered frames

I watched him promise to change again

Another line, another lie—any excuse in the end

Never wanted to end up

In pieces on the floor

I said I’d never thirst for more

Never wanted salvation from drugs in store

Chorus

I’m living a straight edge, I’ve seen where it leads

Needles in the bathroom, pills down on their knees

Fentanyl funerals, coke-heart beats

Beer-soaked highways, wrecks in the street

I’m living a straight edge, I’m cutting the thread

Watched weed kill ambition, watched meth eat their heads

Oxy took the daylight, heroin took friends

I’m living a straight edge—still standing in the end

Post-Chorus

Still standing in the end

Still standing in the end

Verse 2

Maybe I could forgive them, maybe I can’t

Same sad song, same sinking chant

Screen-lit shadowed faces, stories I erase

Broken bedtime bottles, memories I replace

Chasing answers in ashes

Crushed powder on skin

What’s left of family, what’s left within

Played with fate, I lost faith in them

Promises wasted on wishes, I won’t pretend

I learned to live without the poison

I learned to let the past bend

I learned that silence is quieter

Way past the bitter end

Chorus

I’m living a straight edge, I’ve seen where it leads

Needles in the bathroom, pills down on their knees

Fentanyl funerals, coke-heart beats

Beer-soaked highways, wrecks in the street

I’m living a straight edge, I’m cutting the thread

Watched weed kill ambition, watched meth eat their heads

Oxy took the daylight, heroin took friends

I’m living a straight edge—still standing in the end

Post-Chorus

Still standing in the end

Never caving, I won’t pretend

Bridge

No blood in my veins but my own

No clouded conviction, I stand alone

No wasted youth in the aftermath

I’m steel, I’m stone, I’m more than my past

Chorus

I’m living a straight edge, I’ve seen where it leads

Needles in the bathroom, pills down on their knees

Fentanyl funerals, coke-heart beats

Beer-soaked highways, wrecks in the street

I’m living a straight edge, I’m cutting the thread

Watched weed kill ambition, watched meth eat their heads

Oxy took the daylight, heroin took friends

I’m living a straight edge—still standing in the end

Post-Chorus

Still standing in the end

Still standing in the end

Still standing in the end
