Looking back in a short time, I know (I know)

I'm not afraid to scream and shout 'cause I know what we're about

Solid ideals combined with my friends, forever growing in my heart and my head

Some say the core has seen better days, but it's still alive in so many ways

When we play, there is something inside

From the music, the message, and the stage dives

Something inside, open hearts and clear minds

Something inside, and we're gonna keep it alive

And that's not just hype, despite all our problems, we can't lose sight

Because the scene will never survive if you treat hardcore like it has died

I know it's easy to care when the scene is on top and there is so much there

Our chance is now, our days are real

We've got to see this through and that's the deal

Something inside, open hearts and clear minds

Something inside, and we're gonna keep it alive

No, I can't play that game

Where the clothes make the person and we all look the same

Right now, I have no fear

'Cause the kids will see the truth and not how it appears
