Prodigal Son - Rationale

I wanna hold counsel 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 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 counsel 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 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

And maybe I’m wrong

And I’m just another prodigal, and cynical son, wrong

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

Would someone tell me how come I can’t find my equilibrium?

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 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 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 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

Oh, I’m just like you

I’m just like you

Oh, I’m just like you

I’m just like you

Oh, I’m just like you

I’m just like you

I’m just like you
