You Can Lead A Man To Reason, But You Can't Make Him Think Lyrics

Burned a hole straight through my heart
Burned a hole, stake through my heart

You burned a hole straight through my fuckin' 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 our pride) I'm gonna 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...

(You can't take our pride) I'm gonna 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 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 asked me,
Do I want to live in your world, or would I rather be dead?
I wouldn't stop you from pulling the trigger.

Burned a hole straight through my heart
Burned a hole, stake through my heart

You burned a hole straight through my fuckin' heart
You had a hidden agenda from the start
Money can't compensate when music lacks...
Now the knife's in your back
