Prodigal No. 2
I suppose with all the homecoming you forgot about me
All the years I put in, just peripheral loyalty
I suppose when I've been here all along I fade to the colour of the walls
I don't think you see me anymore, I don't
I put in the hours, put in the time
Gave you what's yours, you didn't give me mine
I don't want your party, I don't want your life
Maybe I should've been the one to take my things
And leave you behind
I suppose you want apologies for the bitterness inside of me
The virtue I collected, just dust in your economy
I suppose you think I'm the one who's lost in the thicket of my righteous cause
I don't think you know me anymore, I don't
I put on my best face, I stayed in the lines
I said all the right things, you didn't even try
I don't want this party, I don't want my life
How could you give away everything I've earned
And leave me behind
There is no life here for me
There is no life here for me
There is no life here for me
I suppose that after all this time you've come out to tell me all you have is mine
The table is abundant to the exclusion of my wounded pride
I suppose you wouldn't believe me if I said that I was sorry
But I don't know if I can say it, I don't
But there is no life here for me
There is no life here for me
There is no life here for me
Cause I just want your party, I just want your life
I just want your favour, I just want to cry
How could I spend it all just to get it wrong
By getting it right
All the years I put in, just peripheral loyalty
I suppose when I've been here all along I fade to the colour of the walls
I don't think you see me anymore, I don't
I put in the hours, put in the time
Gave you what's yours, you didn't give me mine
I don't want your party, I don't want your life
Maybe I should've been the one to take my things
And leave you behind
I suppose you want apologies for the bitterness inside of me
The virtue I collected, just dust in your economy
I suppose you think I'm the one who's lost in the thicket of my righteous cause
I don't think you know me anymore, I don't
I put on my best face, I stayed in the lines
I said all the right things, you didn't even try
I don't want this party, I don't want my life
How could you give away everything I've earned
And leave me behind
There is no life here for me
There is no life here for me
There is no life here for me
I suppose that after all this time you've come out to tell me all you have is mine
The table is abundant to the exclusion of my wounded pride
I suppose you wouldn't believe me if I said that I was sorry
But I don't know if I can say it, I don't
But there is no life here for me
There is no life here for me
There is no life here for me
Cause I just want your party, I just want your life
I just want your favour, I just want to cry
How could I spend it all just to get it wrong
By getting it right
