Prodigal is a song about reflecting on the loss of someone dear to you. It's about accepting the emptiness they've left behind and giving up hope. Though while you try not to admit it, a part of you is still holding onto the chance that they might come back.

Prodigal

Lyrics:

Why do I have a body 
If I hate it all the time?
I know it’s not right 

I wish I could I live in a picture 
and not remember 
What happens next 

Cause when you live your life, looking at yourself in the dark 
You don’t know who you are anymore 
Anymore 

And then when you look back on the photographs you realize 
You were always you
“Ain’t that the truth”

I can still see you in my mind 
When I close my eyes 
All the twists and winds 

With a fog so think you can’t see your hands in front of you 
And the sky is blue 
That’s just like you 

I got a lot to think about 
I got a lot to forget 
But I’m not there yet 

And when I look back on the photographs I’ll realize 
I was lucky to have you 
And you were too

“How great the searing loss
The Father turns his face away”
