The Prodigal Sun Lyrics

You scare us, yeah, you welcome us
And you motion us to move our mouths
And we lie, yes, we lie

And you know our thoughts, you put them there
You free us, tell us where to fall
So we hide, yes, we hide

When I breathe again I swear it'll be with you

You make us, yeah, you cure us, yes
You kill the calf as we second guess the first try
The suns too cold, oh no

The darkness falls as nothing moves
Your heartbeat slows, it gets too cold so you sleep
Yes, we all sleep
When I rise again

I swear it'll be with you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
