Deadlocked

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
