Deadlock
by Barren Cross

Album: Birth Pangs

Smoke and fire on your lips again,
Desire strikes you out, it wins,
Bang goes your head again, locked in chains,
Little do you know, it's got you bound ‘til you go insane, yeah.

They glorify that feeling in their eyes,
They think it's cool, but they'll never realise what a thin disguise.

Deadlock, crawling into the dark,
They're in a deadlock before they realise they are caught.

Alright.

Hot steel – the pipe's never cold anymore,
The more you feel, the more you can't let go,
Bang goes your body now: cocaine,
Harmless though it seems, it starts just like a dream, but it end, ends, ends.

They glorify that feeling in their eyes,
They think it's cool, but they'll never realise what a thin disguise.

Deadlock, crawling into the dark,
They're in a deadlock before they realise they're caught.

Give me a drink, leave me alone – I don't care what you think,
I don't got a problem – no, you've got the problem.

Deadlock – you're dead,
Deadlock – why don't you give it up instead?
Deadlock, deadlock, deadlock.

I'm never going back, (never)
It doesn't last, no, no, (never)
Reality (never) is hitting me, (never)
Never, (never) no,
They think they're in control,
Their desire's digging a deeper hole,
They're in a deadlock, deadlock.

I'm talking to you as a friend, and I'll love you ‘til the very end,
It's not the way to go,
Don't follow those who never, never know.
