Lyrics:

“Bastard Son” is about Senses Fail vocalist Buddy Nielsen’s father who left him and his family.
This song is featured as a B-Side from “Rum Is For Drinking, Not For Burning.”
Daddy where did you go when I was five years old?
A newborn sister left crying in her crib
Now with this shiny blade and slicing not maim
My heart or relationship to you

I have become the bastard son
The bitch of everyone
The failure I’ve become

Now it takes a lot to go hell
Got one life so better live it well
These words are rushing through my mind
You turned your back on all your kids
Just look at what you did
Just another bastard son like me

I have become the bastard son
The bitch of everyone
The failure I’ve become
I have become the bastard son
The bitch of everyone
The failure I’ve become

And you’ve failed all your kids
An eternity of blind hate flows from your diamond rings
And the souls you smoked mock your face in hell

Lies, they're coming back to life
They're coming back to life
They’re coming back to me
The revenge of a five year old boy
Lies, they're coming back to life
They're coming back to life
They’re coming back to me
The revenge of a five year old boy
