Rationale - Prodigal Son Lyrics
I wanna hold counsel with the ghost of my father
Tell him I'll be everything he could never be
And if I face the obstacles that he failed to conquer
I'll make it to the other side
I don't wanna reach out in the dead of night
And find no one to hold me
But I'm burning my bridges at the speed of light
I got a monochrome candle
Hollow in the middle, but I can't deny
That I'm just like you
Oh, I'm just like you
I wanna hold counsel with the ghost of my father
Tell him I'll be everything he could never be
I'll make it to the other side
I don't wanna go lonely
I don't wanna reach out in the dead of night
And find no one to hold me
But I'm burning my bridges at the speed of light
I got a monochrome candle
Hollow in the middle, but I can't deny
That I'm just like you
Oh, I'm just like you
But maybe I'm wrong
And I'm just another prodigal, and cynical son, wrong
I need to wake up, wake up, wake up
Would someone tell me how come
I can't find my equilibrium
I don't wanna go lonely
I don't wanna reach out in the dead of night
And find no one to hold me
But I'm burning my bridges at the speed of light
I got a monochrome candle
Hollow in the middle, but I can't deny
That I'm just like you
Oh, I'm just like you
I don't wanna go lonely
I don't wanna reach out in the dead of night
And find no one to hold me
But I'm burning my bridges at the speed of light
I got a monochrome candle
Hollow in the middle, but I can't deny
That I'm just like you
Oh, I'm just like you
I'm just like you
Oh, I'm just like you
I'm just like you
Oh, I'm just like you
I'm just like you
Oh, I'm just like you
I'm just like you
I'm just like you

I'm just like you
Most amazing artist!! Keep it up, awesome work :))
This is Great
You just gained a new fan. Found this on itunes thought hell lets give you a try. Blown away
So in love with this song 😍 watched you supporting Bastille and now booked to come and see you in Sheffield with my gf. Utterly amazing
I am in love, you are so talented.
Rationale should do a live lounge cover to - Something Inside So Strong
Euurgh This is the first song in forever that I've found interesting enough to play over and over obsessively. I Absolutely cannot cope with how good his voice is <3
he help's you get trough some hard times
Love the new stuff! Great to hear you again. Namaste 🙏🏽
cool music. I think it should be heard by people.
Yeah. The martians are getting tired of hearing it.
this song tho
@Rationale I been rocking with you since Saved--Keep it up bra--looking forward to the new album
Any plans on touring the states?
Featured on www.needleinaplaystack.com/newmusic
I saw him last week on Bastille tour and he was absolutely brilliant, he's got very interesting voice
Epic tune!! - Going places for sure.
Is he popular in europe?
Who is this person? Never heard of him
Really liking this! 👏
The March 2017 is too far away --- but the album will be great . I'm sure of that --
I saw you in Düsseldorf last night and I like your music so much!! Please go on. Your voice is amazing!
Floh G. Ich fand ihn auch sehr sehr gut 👍🏻😊😊
sobbing
He has such a unique voice! So cool to listen to!
Heard you on radio 1 last night. Quality
💃💃💃💃💃💃💃
Saw you warm up for Bastille in Copenhagen, can't wait to see you headline your own show, hopefully soon! Incredible voice and music. <3
This is just brutal, an insanely great song. Rationale is probably one of the most underrated artists ever.
Was just about to type very similar comment. Lyrically gifted and touches peoples soul. THIS IS WHAT MUSIC SHOULD DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why does everyone have to say 'most underrated' 'so underrated' as if they value something that no one else does. It's all over Youtube, every damn video. You're all thumbs up begging shallow streaks of piss
absoulutley love this!!! saw you guys with bastille and you deserve sooooo much!!!!
Amazing!
looking forward to seeing you in January
It was great to hear this song live in Warsaw! I can't wait for the album
Struggling to figure out two lines. The line in the chorus after "burning my bridges at the speed of light" what I hear "I got them all, I can't candour" And the second line is 2:05 what I hear "and Senegal son, wrong".
Alysha Myers I swear they weren't there when I commented... At least I'm sure I checked the description... but thanks.
Deadpool haha that's weird...maybe it was just put up
Listen again my friend, and use headphones if you can. Lyrics are on point and deep. WICKED GROUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guys the lyrics are literally in the description lmao
i love this ❤, the perfect melody i need the album now!!!
His voice is just the best! All his songs are favourites of mine.
One of my Favorit Songs!!!

Fuck me this is good. Along with Something for Nothing and Palms... this is gonna be a huge album.
heard this song when you played in manchester with bastille, it's lovely to hear this song without having to watch it through concert videos and hearing me screaming with excitement!
sophie. same here. I was so disappointed after the Bastille concert that I couldn't find all the songs he played. pre-ordered the album but in the meantime I keep repeating my terrible videos. cannot wait for some proper audio!
love this! definitely know you're a great artist when you sound even more amazing live <3 <3 can't wait for an album, definitely need to see you again.
I'm going to pre order it next week dudes! Your freaking amazing! Saw you live in Amsterdam, can't wait to see you again!
last time i heard rationale it was as motorpoint arena in Nottingham. keep the great songs coming
Saw you guys in Hamburg, really great!
