about

this remains one of my favorites production-wise and lyrically. it's written after the story of the prodigal son. skot helped alot with making this song what it is and i'm grateful for that.

lyrics

you saw me blind in the freezing rain, you called me from the cold. at your doorstep night and day awaiting your prodigals.

i have profaned, i have abused. i have destroyed i have misused. you saw me blind in the freezing rain, you called me from the cold. at your doorstep night and day, awaiting your prodigals.

walk the streets like an alien if that's how i'm to know you. skeletons, my cup tipped o'er before you. you saw me blind in the freezing rain, called me from the cold. at your doorstep night and day, you await your prodigals.

no look back, no wonder if, no water seed of doubt. you're the one who called my name whom i'm no one without. are we there? are we there yet? beg your impatient sons whom you've called away.

you define me, purify me, solace find me, my identity.
