Cold Reader
Stone Sour · Stone Sour [Special Edition] [2003]
It's written on your face
You always come to me
I won't be used, but,
I - can't fight you anymore
I know I'll open up the door, oh,
NO! I WON'T! I CAN'T! NOT ANYMORE!
ONE MORE TIME AND I THINK I'LL FUCKING DIE!
WHY? DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES?
Stay, Away from who I am
Cuz I know what you are
I can't believe you're here
Then again, you know that,
I - can't fight you anymore
I know I'll open up my soul, oh,
NO! I WON'T! I CAN'T! NOT ANYMORE!
ONE MORE TIME AND I THINK I'LL FUCKING DIE!
WHY? DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES?
Stop, I know your goddamn game
It's always been the same
The story hasn't changed
Neither will you, but,
I - can't fight you anymore
I know I'll open up my soul
NO! I WON'T! I CAN'T! NOT ANYMORE!
ONE MORE TIME AND I THINK I'LL FUCKING DIE!
WHY? DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES?
