Prodigal Son

This town, it changes when the sun goes down on the horizon
There's violence in the minds of men who silence your opinions
I am a master of my own, a disaster in the making
What does it take to make you stop?
'Cause it is my heart you're breaking

I am the prodigal son
A man of many vices
This battle will not be won without some sacrifices
I will not give in again, even though the pressure's mounting
But I can only last so long

We'll soldier on and do our best to shoulder every burden
Our way of life is changing fast, this state is so uncertain
I'm just a ghost train on my own, a host to many feelings
I'll meet my maker just to see if he's a human being

I am the prodigal son
A man of many vices
This battle will not be won without some sacrifices
I will not give in again, even though the pressure's mounting
But I can only last so long

We said we need it, but we don't believe that we do
I found the answer inside me like cancer, it grew
It's hard to swallow the words are so hollow, it's true
There's something special about all the weapons you use
You use

I am the prodigal son
A man of many vices
This battle will not be won without some sacrifices
I will not give in again, even though the pressure's mounting
But I can only last so long

Best of luck to you and yours in the afterlife
I hope you get the chance to fix what did not go right
Everyone that you failed when you were alive
Will find their way back to you
