my father's son

Singer:amity affliction, the

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

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

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

i am no stranger to rage

i am my father's son

won't be my father's mistakes

i've crept through shadows alleys

and 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 for myself

the fastest way to my death

so i could follow his footsteps

to my hospital bed

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

i am no stranger to rage

i never knew him

it turns out we're the same

i am my father's son

won't be my father's mistakes

i am my father's son
