Joel Birch - My Father's Son lyrics

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 f**ing hell I've created I can't seem to escape I had to learn for myself The fastest way to my d**h 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 and alleys Found my home on the streets I've felt the cold glare of strangers As they pa**ed 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 have to learn from myself The fastest way to my d**h 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 (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
