If I wrote down the games
All the rules that would constantly change
The chapters I kept under dust
The things that I saw with my eyes when they shut
I learnt how to argue with death
How to gaslight the gods, to pray under your breath
You know my mirage was a hell
And I built it around all the guilt that I felt

Many creatures will feast on their young
But you are not what you've done
In forgiveness you finally become
Featherlight and upfront
I killed the prodigal son

Create problems to mend
C'mon, be my hero by default again
And then break me down to a storm
Tell me how that's the real me transformed
The dirty secret I keep
Is that for years now, I had always agreed with you
Everything that I did
It was me, I just did what I did

Many creatures will feast on their young
But you are not what you've done
In forgiveness you finally become
Featherlight and upfront
I killed the prodigal son
I killed the prodigal son

Ill-advised I've seen the worst in me
So I hide all the best of me
Euthanised, I put it all to sleep
I'm alright now 'cause I want to be
Ill-advised I've seen the worst in me
So I hide all the best of me
Euthanised, I put it all to sleep
But I'm alright now 'cause I want to be
Emulsified burn the centrepiece
And when I die please remember me
For the times that I sought for peace
That's the honest me, that's my apogee

Take my words out the gun
'Cause the time now has come
To come clean with it all

I killed
I killed

Many creatures will feast on their young
But you are not what you've done
In forgiveness you finally become
Featherlight and upfront
I killed the prodigal son
I killed the prodigal son
Come and see, everyone
Come and look what I've done
