Prodigals Lyrics by The Ridleys

Aphrodite EP

0

[Verse 1]
I hear them calling
They're calling out to me
They tell me freedom is here
Yeah freedom's finally here
And all the while rain is falling
Just like notes on a symphony
They tell me not to feel fear
'Cause freedom's finally here

[Pre-Chorus]
Take one bite to take the fall
We'll be right next to you through it all
With these words I saw
With these words I saw

[Chorus]
I once was caged but now I'm free
And I don't really wanna go home
I once was blind but now I see
And I don't really wanna go home
I've paid the price, I know the cost
Don't preach to me, I know I'm lost
And if my father calls for me
Tell him I don't really wanna go, don't really wanna home

[Post-Chorus]
I don't really wanna go

[Verse 2]
Tell me again
What's it like on the other side
Are you still living in fear?
Are you still living in fear?
Oh, aren't we all just human?
We turn to dust when we die
Sacrifice every year
To please the gods we hold dear

[Pre-Chorus]
Take one bite to take the fall
We'll be right next to you through it all
With these words I saw
With these words I saw

[Chorus]
I once was caged but now I'm free
And I don't really wanna go home
I once was blind but now I see
And I don't really wanna go home
I've paid the price, I know the cost
Don't preach to me, I know I'm lost
And if my father calls for me
Tell him I don't really wanna go, don't really wanna go home

[Post-Chorus]
I don't really wanna go
No, I don't wanna go
I don't really wanna go

[Bridge]
No, I don't wanna go back to where I couldn't run
Do you see me now? I've only just begun
I won't stop to lay my head until I've reached the sun
No, I don't wanna go back to where I couldn't run

[Outro]
I once was caged but now I'm free
I'll be right next to you through it all (I don't wanna go)
I once was blind but now I see
I'll be right next to you through it all (I don't wanna go)
Take one bite to take the fall
We'll be right next to you through it all (I don't wanna go)
If my father calls for me
Tell him I don't really wanna go
