I've been given far too much time, and it weighs a ton
My cover fire

But it's coming in phases

My father's son
[Bridge]
My empty page

[Chorus]
It's coming in phases
And I'm ready for none
I knew it would change me
And the man I become
So I try to contain it
And fighting it from
It's coming in phases
And I'm overcome
My father's son
My father's son
