Lyrics

Strain

Fickle father
Foolish son
We pray for pain
We pray for blood
I hope I die
I hope I'm high
I hope that flowers rain down from the fucking sky!
I hope your body
Heals itself
I hope that God
Forgives himself
I hope I die
I hope I'm high
I hope that flowers rain down from the fucking sky!

They say
That I
Will live
Will die
They say
As well
I'll burn
In hell
So get your jacket exactly where you left, dear
I know you think it's clear
I am the problem, everybody saw him there
Alone, eating alone

Fickle father
Foolish son
We pray for pain
We pray for blood
I hope I die
I hope I'm high
I hope that flowers rain down from the fucking sky!
I hope your body
Heals itself
I hope that God
Forgives himself
I hope I die
I hope I'm high
I hope that flowers rain down from the fucking sky!

They say
That I
Will live
Will die
They say
As well
I'll burn
In hell
So get your jacket exactly where you left it, dear
I know you think it's clear
I am the problem, everybody saw him in there
Alone, eating alone

Woah-oh-oh-oh

Woah-oh Ooh-oh

Woah-Oh-Oh-Oh!
Woah-oh! Ooh-oh!
Woah-Oh-Oh-Oh!
Woah-oh! Ooh-oh!
Woah-Oh-Oh-Oh!
Woah-oh! Ooh-oh!

[I heard you're seeking an attorney, and
Go through the legal system to do what you need to do, and
And get out of this forever
To solve our problems
You got that?]
