Lyrics

Prodigal Son

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I wanna hold council with the ghost of my father

Tell him I'll be everything he could never be

And if I face the obstacles that he failed to conquer

I'll make it through the other side

I don't wanna go lonely

I don't wanna reach out in the dead of night

And find no one to hold me

But I'm burning my bridges at the speed of light

I've got a monochrome candour

Hollow in the middle but I can't deny

That I'm just like you

Oh I'm just like you

I wanna hold council with the ghost of my father

Tell him I'll be everything he could never be

And if I tame the anger in me he failed to sunder

I'll make it through the other side

I don't wanna go lonely

I don't wanna reach out in the dead of night

And find no one to hold me

But I'm burning my bridges at the speed of light

I've got a monochrome candour

Hollow in the middle but I can't deny

That I'm just like you

Oh I'm just like you

But maybe I'm wrong

And I'm just another prodigal and cynical son, wronged

And I need to wake up, wake up, wake up

But someone tell me how come

Can't find my equilibrium

I don't wanna go lonely

No I don't wanna reach out in the dead of night

And find no one to hold me

But I'm burning my bridges at the speed of light

I've got a monochrome candour

Hollow in the middle but I can't deny

That I'm just like you

That I'm just like you

I don't wanna go lonely

I don't wanna reach out in the dead of night

And find no one to hold me

But I'm burning my bridges at the speed of light

I've got a monochrome candour

Hollow in the middle but I can't deny

That I'm just like you

Oh I'm just like you

I'm just like you

I'm just like you

I'm just like you

I'm just like you

I'm just like you

I'm just like you

I'm just like you

I'm just like you
