My Father’s Son

Lyrics

[Intro: Joel Birch] I am my father's son, I am my father's mistakes I'm easily undone, and I'm no stranger to rage I am no stranger to rage I am no stranger to rage [Verse 1: Joel Birch] I built the bars out of bottles Drowned myself just to escape I am my father's son I am my father's mistakes [Pre-Chorus: Joel Birch] And I'm ashamed of myself I just want out of this place This fucking hell I created I can't seem to escape I had to learn for myself The fastest way to my death So I could follow his footsteps To my hospital bed [Chorus: Ahren Stringer] All my life, I have been Trying to understand myself It seems like my own reflection Is just somebody else It's taken years to know my father Courses through my veins And though I never knew him It turns out we're the same [Post-Chorus: Joel Birch] I am no stranger to rage [Verse 2: Joel Birch] I am my father's son Won't be my father's mistakes I've crept through shadows and alleys Found my home on the streets I've felt the cold glare of strangers As they passed over me [Pre-Chorus: Joel Birch] I never figured I'd turn out To be such a disgrace But I'm my father's son The sum of all his mistakes I had to learn from myself The fastest way to my death So I could follow his footsteps To my hospital bed [Chorus: Ahren Stringer] All my life, I have been Trying to understand myself It seems like my own reflection Is just somebody else It's taken years to know my father Courses through my veins And though I never knew him It turns out we're the same [Post-Chorus: Joel Birch] I am no stranger to rage [Outro: Ahren Stringer & Joel Birch] And though I never knew him Though I never knew him, it turns out we're the same And though I never knew him Though I never knew him, it turns out we're the same I am my father's son, I am my father's son I am my father's son, won't be my father's mistakes I am my father's son, I am my father's son I am my father's son, I am my father's son
