You can lead a man to reason, but you can't make
by Death by Stereo· from Day of the Death
Burned a hole straight through my heart.Burned a hole, stake through my heart. You had a hidden agenda from the start. Pennies in your pockets, knives in our backs. Money can't compensate when music lacks. You can't take away our pride, I'm going to win this time. You can't buy this life, I worked to make it mine. You can't fake this pride, I stand tall defy. You can't take this life, we hold it deep inside. No friends left to burn. No stones left unturned. Make no bones about it, yours will surely be broken. Ruin a friendship over some tokens. When you look in the mirror, tell me who do you see. Shattered reflection of a worthless being. And as you stand in broken glass, your memory's swept up with the ash. No world to return, all your friends that you have burned. And when you open up your eyes, see through clouded skies, that's when you realize you're all alone. And if you put a gun to my head, and ask me, do I want to live in your world, or would I rather be dead? I wouldn't stop you from pulling the trigger. Money can't compensate when music lacks... now the knife's in your back.
