Faith And The Muse - Prodigal lyrics

Mother and father, sister and friend It's not that I embrace the end It's simply that I feel too deeply Towards what I see around me But this is not escape This is my way Oh father, mother I find The people here are so unkind And strangers trample blindly They've lost all common courtesy But this is not escape This is my way When I was a child I knew I'd never die Like an unknown god watching through my eyes And I was strange and I was old I watched the future past unfold Their toys are getting complicated But no one's any brighter More doors are locked and bolted But no one's any wiser Oh brother, sister I see You are not happier that me But you will all pretend to be To prove there's something wrong with me But this is not escape This is my way And I may or may not change
