[Verse 1: Alex Dunham and Fred Erskine]
Father walks right in
Different borders
Father sitting, leaving
Order, regained
[Verse 2: Alex Dunham and Fred Erskine]
Held up, spoken liar
Leave that to the conjecture
A fitness test
A fitness test, of father and son
[Verse 3: Alex Dunham and Fred Erskine]
All wrapped up
In corner, glib
It ain't fine through the lies fear
Send and receive
[Verse 4: Alex Dunham and Fred Erskine]
How you withdrawal
Why fight protection
You raise your hand, and it falls so hard
Again, again
Wild or rooted
The fear is sent, the fear is sent
Couldn't prove the kid you never came
[Break 1: Alex Dunham and Fred Erskine]
The fear is sent
Fear is sent
The fear is sent
Sent and received
Sent and received
Turned and received
Turned and received
The fear is sent
[Verse 5: Alex Dunham and Fred Erskine]
Hey daddy
Hey papa
Oh, father
Took a look at me
Don't let them see
It's coming alright, I'm okay
Give it again, give it again
[Break 2: Alex Dunham]
The line is drawn again
Father is sad and leaving
Over, you said
You want to come for a ride
We're really talking this time
How come you never reply?
You're not my father at all
[Bridge: Alex Dunham]
You're not my
You're not my father at all
At all
Your father's sorry
You are the reason
You are the reason
You're not my father
Let's go
Let's go
Get in
Get in
Get in
Let's go
Let's go
