Prodigal Son

There are the monsters Called consequence, troubles and pain Sinking their mighty teeth Into your delicious tiny brain Venom numbing your senses Swirling through your veins Your eyes are tunneling black holes Dipping into the grumbling insane I’m trudging this road I’m hiking this trail Same one which you’ve diverted With no way to prevail I’ll still be here When you come home Arms outstretched Like you’ve never gone I’ll still be here When you change your mind To steadily ascend the road to life You and me, side by side
