NOISE (Nexus Anthem)
Hook
Come make some noise—for the ones who lost they voice,
Nexus outside, we claiming ground by choice.
From the shadows to the streetlights, truth resound,
Different paths, same circle—yeah, we hold it down.
Verse 1
We’re the voices rising up out the shadows,
Standing tall, breaking chains—yeah, we’re the echoes.
No more silence; we reclaiming fate,
World full of judgment? Time to reshape.
Pre-Hook
Together we rise, tide up on the shore,
Stories united—walk through the door.
No more hiding, no more shame,
This battle for freedom, we ignite flame.
Hook
Verse 2
They call us “different” ’cause of how we choose,
But we all just searching for a way through.
Needles or laughter, we’re in the same dance,
Side by side rising—give us a chance.
Bridge
Eighty-one thousand lives gone in the dark—
We carry their names, we ignite the spark.
Policymakers talk numbers; they don’t know the weight,
So Nexus opens doors peer-to-peer—no intake debate.
You don’t have to be clean. You don’t have to quit.
Walk through the doors at Nexus—we’re together again, period.
Peers who use, peers who get it, meet you where you’re at,
Acceptance first, hands out—no contract, no act.
April 21, World Addiction Day—we take it public, make noise,
Ally Center isn’t alone anymore—Nexus is the voice.
From Sydney to Parliament, let them feel our might,
Unity here ready, ready to fight.
Help each other up—support, not hate,
Judgment lives outside; we build a different gate.
Verse 3
You ever walk in already braced for side-eyes?
Nexus takes the armor off—no need for disguise.
Bring your night, your meds, your laugh, your “not today,”
This circle keeps everything they throw away—pride included.
We’re not a program, we’re a pulse: pull-up, check-in, real talk,
If you slip, we don’t ghost, we slide two seats down the block.
Same key every time: you’re allowed to be you here,
That’s how we bury stigma—show up, year after year.
Hook (out)
Come make some noise…
Nexus is here. Join me.
