My Father’s Son (Redux)

Lyrics

[Intro] 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 Oh! I am no stranger to rage [Verse 1] I built the bars out of bottles, drowned myself just to escape I am my father's son, I am my father's mistakes 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] 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] I am no stranger to rage [Verse 2] 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 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] 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] I am no stranger to rage [Outro] 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
