Risale from Demo 2020 by xRISALEx

Ivys of toxication
Invading every domain of our lives
They spread the disease
The cure is the poison itself
This culture of enslavement
They sedate us to keep us down
I abstain from this abuse
I refuse to be a part of this mess

Sharpened mind, eyes open wide
Numbness breeds this mindless violence
Broken homes, a youth half dead
Senses dull, no progress made

And you'll laugh and mock
To you my stance is nothing but a joke
Acceptance is not what I seek
Your validation means nothing to me
Your eyes keep searching for weak points
But you will never watch me break
As your darkened hearts bled dry
Untouched by apathy I stand free

And like I'll bow down to no master
No substance can keep me chained
This revolution in my heart
Will come through my sober mind

Until I die
Unchained and unbound
In this endless dawn
We will bring the light

Straight edge

I refuse this apathy
I don't need your sympathy
Resistance injected in my veins
Commited, nailed to the X.
