Lyrics of 'My Father's Son' by The Amity Affliction

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've 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 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 have to learn from 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

(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
