V1

You wonder why I'm so despondent

While you watch me writhe with my hands tied

But you never want to see this side of brick and bone

I leave at the door when I come home

What is home but an edifice of flesh and stone?

That I don't really know

Forced to stand alone

CH

One step away from apathy

It's none of your concern

No matter what I try, still I feel nothing

And not a stone unturned

V2

A bite of the bittersweet, they beg and plead for a taste

The low-hanging fruit you feed

Behind closed doors, a waste

Bent on demise, it's in benign design

The voice inside your head will quiet fears when you are dead

Do you feel the same

Faces without a name?

CH

One step away from apathy

It's none of your concern

No matter what I try, still I feel nothing

And not a stone unturned

And in the end, it's just a game you play

You rip my pride away

It's just the price I pay

And in the end, my bones don't bend, they break

You're not my friend, you're fake

And you hold all the blame

BR/Outro

They say I'm out of luck, misfortune's in my blood

I'm sick of feeling stuck, can't stand to be undone

I'm holding out for love, but ended up with none

Not your prodigal son
