Deadlocked Songtext / Lyric

There's no turning back

Everything is built up all around me

My problems, my addictions

Complications rule all my decisions

It's a slippery slope leading to my end

Show me the way out, get my grip again



These afflictions wage a war inside me

Can I find direction?



No



In such pain,

We are desperate for solutions

Where is the door

That leads to redemption

Everything is dark,

Will I ever find my way out?



These afflictions wage a war inside me

Can I be forgiven?






You take what others have worked for (You're all that I'm not)

You are the burden of many,

We're deadlocked

This is for all those who struggle

(For all those who can't)

Don't let your troubles define you,

Be the better man



I'm held down by the weight

Of my selfish mistakes

Buried under miles of guilt,

Miles of guilt

You are the parasite

And now you've sunk your teeth

You are abomination



Oh



I have watched myself change

From the inside out

Becoming what I swore I'd never be (Swore I'd never be)

There's gotta be more to this

There's gotta be more to this



You take what others have worked for (You're all that I'm not)

You are the burden of many,

We're deadlocked

This is for all those who struggle

(For all those who can't)

Don't let your troubles define you,

Be the better man



Be the better man, be the better man

Be the better man, be the better man



Where do we go from here?

Down this lonely road

I've never felt so scared

Out here on my own



There's no turning back,

I have left my old self behind

The damned are upon me,

But I won't be the victim

God, will you wash

The blood from these arms?

I'll change my ways,

I'll be the better man
