A forward thinker moving backwards
Bad memories stick like rotten gum
Losing control shortly thereafter
I’m nothing but my father’s son

A lineage that curves around me
Bad tendencies are all I have
Gaining a sense of understanding
I’m nothing but nothing intact

A shining future sheathed by darkness
Bad eyes and ears will soon be gone
Leaving behind my moral compass
I’m nothing but my father’s son

Oh, these feelings come in waves
And I’m caught in with the tide
Father told me to be brave
Keep composure, stay alive

A lonely runner struck with failure
Good theories never followed up
Losing friends due to erasure
I’m nothing but my father’s son

A note without a set location
Good talents never put to use
Gaining trust from your citation
I’m nothing but a kid misused

A leech that never got its teeth in
Good passion never getting blood
Leaving the pool I dipped my feet in
I’m nothing but my father’s son

Oh, these feelings come in waves
And I’m caught in with the tide
Father told me to be brave
Keep composure, stay alive

Oh, these feelings come in waves
And I’m caught in with the tide
Father told me to be brave
Keep composure, stay alive

A fire put to rest by water
Ugly faces in the sun
Losing my chance to breathe your daughters
I’m nothing but my father’s son

A spacecraft void of every function
Ugly children on the moon
Gaining all kinds of reduction
I’m nothing but your rusted tooth

A stable filled with burning horses
Forced to inhale their pungent dung
Leaving out what’s most important
I’m nothing but my father’s son

Oh, these feelings come in waves
And I’m caught in with the tide
Father told me to be brave
Keep composure, stay alive

Oh, these feelings come in waves
And I’m caught in with the tide
Father told me to be brave
Keep composure, stay alive

Oh, these feelings come in waves
And I’m caught in with the tide
Father told me to be brave
Keep composure, stay alive

Oh, these feelings come in waves
And I’m caught in with the tide
Father told me to be brave
Keep composure, stay alive
