Nothing More Cruel - Prodigal

You said to knock and the door will be open
But father it feels like my fingers are broken
Cursin' your name with each breath that I breathe
Bringin' the God of that breath to his knees
Oh to see what I've seen
I'm so far from devotion

Well I hid my heart for a while
I spit at your feet in denial
But you ain't no prodigal child, no you never left home
I'm hungry for more, but I haven't learned to be yours

For all of the times that your heart has been broken
You still came to me, your bloodied hands open
And I tried to hide like there was somethin' to prove
And then faked you a praise that won't raise past the roof
Well i'm worthless to you, but you still call me chosen

Well I hid my heart for a while
I spit at your feet in denial
But you ain't no prodigal child, no you never left home
I'm hungry for more, but I haven't learned to be yours

I thought I could make this alone
Take mine and go
And pay what I owe, but I know
I'm in my sickness again
A slave to my sin
And the devil let in
But you gave me all I never knew that I need
Well come as you are, and I'm comin' back on my knees

Well I hid my heart for a while
I spit at your feet in denial
But father it's time I come home
Gladly will I walk that aisle
For the debt of your undeserved smile
I'm just the prodigal child that you still call your own
I'm hungry for more, but I can't go on living alone
Come open the door, Father I'm here to be yours
