what happens when the prodigal son returns
wanting nothing but apologies for bridges burnt
is he has to cross a chasm
has his advances spurned
travels back to his far country
lesson learned

I guess you once knew me,
Like a sparrow knows its song.
I guess I thought you knew me,
But I guess I was just wrong.

You believed I was too weak,
Too fragile like a feather.
So you danced around my feelings,
Predictable as the weather.

But oh how you were fooled,
For you are so mistaken.
Cause the things you think that make me weak are the things that have forced me to strengthen.

So, no, I am not a feather.
I am the whole ******* eagle!
I rise above the hardships,
While you run away like a weasel.

I guess you forgot you knew me,
But this bird has found her song.
So with this blow you now must know
That it only makes me fly strong.

I always thought
that the worst betrayal
was a thing called infidelity.

But oh how wrong was I.

And I cant help myself from thinking,
If only he had cheated.
Cause it would make the "I don't love you" sting hard
And then maybe I'd be able to feel anything at all.

With numbness, there is no healing.
For the wound that doesn't know it exists can never mend what is broken.

What is it like to be numb?
I'll tell you, but it is not fun.
Sit right there inside your mind
Where all your thoughts are in a bind.
Now stare into the clustered mess,
Lose yourself till there's nothing left.
Now trickle in the roaring pain,
So much so that you can't sustain.
Here comes fear, your faithful friend.
He'll be with you to the very end.
Circle down the rabbit hole,
Feeling too much has taken its toll.
Now take it all down in one big swallow.
All at once, you now feel hallow.
Welcome to the world of numb
Where feeling all is feeling none.

i had no idea what love was
until it disappeared
or the joyful sound it made
until silence was all that i could hear
or the beauty that it held
in a single tear
i had no idea what love was
until love disappeared

i had no idea what love would take
until it was gone
took apart this wanting heart
left behind this weary soul
would i have let it get this far
if only i had known
i had no idea what love would take
until love was gone
