Max Charles - Deadlocked With Denial Lyrics

There's a kind of beauty in the way
That all my problems and all our pain
Is directly because of me
I could spend a hundred thousand days
Reflecting, delegating the blame
But inevitably it all points back to me, to me

One more empty look from you
And there won't be an ounce of self control left in my body
Left in my body, yeah

If you think when your bright red eyes deflected my gaze, it left me unaffected
You're further from the truth than you are from me
If you want me to explain my emotions
You're better off searching in the depths of the ocean
'Cause I shut them in a safe deadlocked with denial
And I misplaced the key on my travels to the Nile, yeah

One more empty look from you
And there won't be an ounce of self control left in my body
To stop me from wrapping my arms around you
I crave to tell you it will all be well
But it's hard to gain someone's trust when you barely even trust yourself

I'll reach out to you no more
Lord knows I've tried, I've tried, I've tried
I even used I V vi IV
I know, I know it's what you like
I might as well just end it here
