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!!!
