I am the prodigal son Oh my God I am the prodigal son I can't trust myself or anyone I can feel it in my bones The weight of my mistakes I wanna cleanse my soul You'll burn me at the stake And I wouldn't blame you I've been through the worst of it I feel creeping in In dire need of salvation I'm reaching out to God again I know my halo fades away When I'm giving into temptation In hopes to not feel anything I know all halos fade away When we're giving into temptation In hopes that we can numb the pain I'm so lost What am I searching for? I need to stop setting myself up for failure Everyday feels like I'm on borrowed time How can I see the light? When I'm walking blind Regain my virtues I've been through the worst of it I feel creeping in In dire need of salvation I'm reaching out to God again I know my halo fades away When I'm giving into temptation In hopes to not feel anything I know all halos fade away When we're giving into temptation In hopes that we can numb the pain Hiding in the shadows Tie the noose Hang me from the gallows End the abuse Hiding in the shadows Tie the noose Hang me from the gallows End the abuse I know my halo fades away When I'm giving into temptation In hopes to not feel anything I know all halos fade away When we're giving into temptation In hopes that we can numb the pain
